The Handmaid's Tater - Show Notes

Laura and Charlotte are checking out the militaristic dystopian society known as Gilead in this week's episode about the Hulu Original The Handmaid's Tale. They discuss this Emmy Award winning drama, its relationship to the current political climate, and whether the events in the series could happen today. Laura wonders about the structural roles of women and why none of Gilead's wives are fertile. Charlotte has a surprising favorite character, whose psychological trauma made the show more real. The girls also discuss the entrancing characters played by Elisabeth Moss (Offred) and Alexis Bledel (Ofglen), whether Serena Joy is guilty of her own misery, and much more. What happens to June at the end of the series? What's Nick's true role in the story? And what will happen in Season 2? All of these questions and more are discussed on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast.

For the Fun & Games segment, Laura and Charlotte play a TLP Classic: Alphabet sentence! They also do a variation on a character quiz to find out what role they would have in Gilead.

Inspired by Gilead's old-fashioned values, Charlotte enjoyed a cream soda as her podtail. Laura crafted a homemade cocktail called The Handmaid. Combine 2oz Canadian whiskey and 1 oz. tripel sec into a rocks glass. Fill with cherry juice. Add a splash of club soda for some bubbles!

Plum Island, a John Cabbage Novel - Show Notes

Charlotte and Laura are solving a mystery with John Corey on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. They're discussing Nelson DeMille's Plum Island, the first in the John Corey mystery series. Charlotte moderates this episode and helps Laura understand John Corey's bold personality, which leads to their most heated debate yet! They discuss John's non-PC attitude, his detective skills, how his various relationships affect him, and much more. In addition to discussing the main character, Charlotte shares why she loves both Detective Beth Penrose and the treasure hunting aspect of the novel. Laura wonders how many of the book's characters will change over the course of the series, and shares whether she's excited for more. The girls also discuss how Plum Island measures up as a murder mystery, which plot points left them confused, and what left them wanting more. Does John Corey's abrasive personality make him charming or offensive? Is the attraction between John and Beth believable? And how the hell did John drive a speed boat through a hurricane and survive? All these questions and more are discussed in this week's brand new episode!

Charlotte starts out the Fun & Games segment with a set of Madlibs she made especially for Laura. Next, the girls do a little Dream Casting where they discuss which actors should play the characters in Plum Island.

 This week's podtails were truly inspired by the topic. Charlotte followed in the footsteps of the vintner Frederick Tobin and enjoyed a glass of wine. Laura celebrated the novel's setting with a Long Island Iced Tea!
