Episode 1 - Hello Girls

Co-hosts Elissa Karasik and Julia Meltzer introduce listeners to the show and explain who it's for -- all the people whose friends are too basic to discuss The Handmaid's Tale (c'est tragique). Julia and Elissa will be your non-basic friends, delivering hot takes, incisive commentary, and jokes that you are welcome to straight up recycle at the water cooler. From Elisabeth Moss' first national commercial to bonnet-vision to fertility blindness, a lot of ground is covered in this fiery debut episode. Does the friend zone still exist in Gilead? Do we as a society fetishize motherhood? How did Rory Gilmore become Ofglen? Is Julia even a woman if she's never had a migraine? These are the kind of easy, breezy, beautiful questions we ask on Under Her Eye.
