Episode description

In the final part of this 2-part series, “The Ties That Bind”, your host, Wanda, dives deeper into trauma bonding with a focus on the difficult topic of abuse–red flags, high risk individuals, and the cycle of abuse. As always, she relates it to the show, this time, sharing examples of Nick’s selfless love, June’s autonomy in their relationship, and the toxic traits that emanate from Fred Waterford.

For this week’s ‘ATF Recommends’, Wanda explores a book that if you haven’t read, you’ve definitely heard of…The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood! Listen as Wanda breaks down how Nick and June’s characters differ from the show and gives her official rating out of 4 ½ Hearts.

On the Social Media Minute, we share Elisabeth Moss’ (June ‘Offred’ Osborne) BIG directorial announcement and reactions from Madeline Brewer (Janine ‘Ofwarren’ Lindo) and Max Minghella’s (Nick Blaine). Then, we have a few fun facts about the creators of the show!
