The Handmaid's Tale takes place in a version of the United States that’s ruled by a religious authoritarian regime obsessed with making as many babies as possible. And now it's been adapted to a TV show that critics are literally raving about.
The Red Center is a podcast from The Outline about that show. Each week, hosts Laura June and Rose Eveleth discuss the most recent episode of The Handmaid's Tale through the lens of a specific topic, like motherhood, race, politics, crime, or the book the show is based on.

We're back this week to discuss episode 4 of The Handmaid's Tale. The show remains grim and Fred remains easy to hate, but there's at least a little hope left in Gilead.
The discussion this week turns to religion. The new government in Gilead is obviously Christian, but how much of a role does that really play in the regime? Is religion at the heart of why women are treated so poorly? And what makes Scientology any more creepy than other religions? We dig into these questions (and others!) this week.
