In this, our inaugural episode, you’ll be introduced to your host and fellow Osblaine, Wanda. You will learn who she is, why she started this podcast, and what you can expect going forward. Before diving into the first part of a two part series, she’ll share some of her favorite things from social media and give some insight into Nick and his relationships with others. What follows is a journey to discover the differences between the two ceremonies in Season 2, episode 5 of The Handmaid’s Tale, and a verse by verse analysis of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, The Nick and June Scripture.

Get to know Wanda’s background, her two dogs Heart and Halo, and why she started this podcast. In the following segment, ATF Recommends, we recommend a book that gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the show is made—the perfect keepsake for the die hard Handmaid’s Tale fan.
This week’s Social Media Minute highlights an engaging Instagram post from one of the show’s writers, Nina Fiore. We reposted it on our IG, check it out and let us know what you think!
Next is our Random Spotlight segment in which we discuss a conversation between June and Rita from Season 2, Episode 9. Get the answers to: why Rita doesn’t fear Nick, is Nick loyal to June or Gilead, and what is the truth about Nick’s character?
Finally, for today’s Main Topic, we dive into Season 2, Episode 5. After a brief clip from the show, Wanda reveals the deceptive purpose of Prayvaganzas, explores The Ceremony at The Waterfords, and a close look at the Nick and June scripture and its relation to the meaning of true love.
