Wired.com presents the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy. And here is your host, David Barr-Kirtley.

Hello and welcome to episode 263 of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing the new Hulu series The Handmaid's

tale based on the novel by Margaret Atwood.

And this will involve spoilers for the entire first season, so just be aware of that.

And I'm joined by three guests.

So first up, we've got Sarah Lynn Missioner, who you may remember from our panel on Star Trek Beyond back in episode 214.

She's a Ravenclaw tricky maker feminist who writes Star Trek Beyond back in episode 214.

She's a Ravenclaw Trekky maker feminist who writes at medium and crafts laser cut jewelry

and soap with swear words inside.

She lives in Northern California with a McSweeneys and she currently covers culture and photography for wire.com.

And also joining us today is Beth Eldurkin.
