In this episode we discuss philosophical issues in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. We interview philosophers Charlene Elsby, Leigh Kolb, and Trip McCrossin, each of whom contributed a chapter to Rachel’s recent book The Handmaid’s Tale and Philosophy: A Womb of One’s Own. Time permitting will consider the topic, couture in Gilead: fashion crimes or ahead of its time. [Note: if you are worried about spoilers for The Testaments, we’ve purposely not discussed it this episode. You are safe to listen.] Music in this episode: "Attack of the Mole Men" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Melancholia https://www.purple-planet.com Music from https://filmmusic.io "Ultralounge" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Fat Cartoon Jazz https://www.purple-planet.com
