Do you have the strength to seek help

and get rid of that burden of your past?

Or do you button it all down

and then keep the roads narrow and commit?

You don't own me, I'm not your property,

so take a shifting little bitty eye over me. When I go home me, I know your property, so take a shifty little bitty eye over me.

When I go home, everybody has their eyes and their limbs, and everyone's going to go and read a book and go to sleep.

Do you know what I mean?

Welcome to Eyes on Gilead, our weekly podcast dedicated to The Handmaid's Tale.

There is a lot going on in this show, and we think it helps to talk it out after every episode,

and we also think it helps to talk it out at the end of the season, because, as you know,

season two has wrapped up very dramatically, and it's available to stream in full at SBS On Demand.

So this week, we've got a little bit of a longer episode of Eyes on Gilead, but don't worry,

we're going to make it worth your while.

Firstly, we're going to be looking back at our favourite story strands this season and speculating

about where things might go as we await to season three.

And in some very exciting news, we are going to be joined by a very, very special guest.

You know her as Aunt Lydia, last seen fighting for her life in Commander Lawrence's house.

And we know her as Anne Dowd, Emmy winner and Emmy nominee.

And she was in Australia earlier this week and very kindly allowed us into her apartment in Sydney's Coogee for an extended chat.

And you will not want to miss that.

I don't want to say we get some Aunt Lydia backstory, but I'm not going to say that either.
