It’s hard to believe that we have reached this point, but our beloved show has come to an end. On this episode, we discuss the resolution plots for Carrie, Saul, and all of the other characters who have come to feel like family, review listener feedback, and discuss possible plans for the future. Above all, we want to send a massive THANK YOU filled with love to our entire Homeland (in)Security Podcast family. Thank you for your support, your laughs, and your friendship over the many years of this show. We hope to continue to connect with you on another show in the future! As always, to contact us please send an email to [email protected]. We wish you health and safety moving forward!

Look. We know this is absurd. The finale has already aired and we are just now putting out a one hour podcast on episodes 1-11. But we’re in a pandemic, people!! There are no rules!! In this episode, we zip through and give our hot takes on all of the major characters and story lines of Homeland season 8. We also give our predictions about what will happen in the finale and ask listeners to write in one last time! Later this week, we will release another episode breaking down the finale and reviewing listener feedback! We are so happy to be back!

Hello everyone! Long time no see! We’re excited to say that we’ve decided to take one last swim in the world of Carrie, Saul, and the insanity that is Homeland in two special podcasts that will be released this week!

WOW. What a finale! Due to the volume of listener feedback, we will expand our normal format and record two episodes for the finale of season 12. In this episode (Part 1), we work through the plot and discuss our love of The Wig, our conflicted feelings about the Saul, and the interesting redemption of President Keane. We also revel in the demise of Janet and are *delighted* that Brett O’Keefe didn’t make a return appearance! Join us as we discuss the plot of the season 7 finale, ‘Paean to the People’. We will record Part 2 of the finale podcast in a few days, so please get in any final feedback for the season to [email protected]!

Leaving Frannie and all domestic concerns in the dust, we jet away with Carrie, Saul, and the gang to Russia for an unpleasant meeting. President Keane also has an unpleasant meeting. And Paley keeps stirring the pot. Is this really the penultimate episode?? Doesn’t feel like it quite yet!

We are back! We’re late! Again! The world is run by a Russian undercover ring that is preventing us from getting podcast episodes out on time this season! In this episode, we discuss all of the types of “Clarity” that each character considers in many different circumstances. Carrie has clarity about what is best for Frannie, Keane has clarity about the people around her, and Saul has clarity about his co-dependent (and dysfunctional) relationship with Carrie. So much clarity, so little time…join us as we discuss the 10th episode of season 7, “Clarity”. We are sorry for our tardiness this week and still look forward to including your feedback. Email us at [email protected] to hear your comments discussed on the show!

This episode is a long one with a LOT of listener feedback! If you want to skip straight to the coverage of Episode 9, skip ahead to 42:40. Useful Idiot sees Frannie’s life once again in danger while the Russian plot heats up through a handful of stressful phone conversations for Yevgeny. Dante goes from the dark side to the light side to the eternally dark side… or does he? And Carrie has a historic Carrie breakdown!

Carrie works her magic with Dante, Maggie steps it up for the love of Frannie, Saul is prevented from being great by Wellington, and Simone has a funny Russian valentine. What an excellent mess! Join us as we discuss the 8th episode of season 7, ‘Lights, Amplifiers, F**king Twitter’. Note: Our next episode will have a double dose of listener feedback! Be sure to send your comments to [email protected].

We’re alive! And we come to you as a desperately apologetic Carrie comes home to a terrified Frannie. There’s a lot to talk about in this episode: are Keane and Wellington in…. love? Are Max and Saul the spy duo we’ve needed all along? Are the Homeland writers trying to torture us with that final Carrie/Dante scene?

A TWIST!!!!! Wow! Saul comes back into Carrie’s life like a wrecking ball revealing a new angle on Dante’s motives. Saul implores her to lay low because of all the Russian spy stuff that she could mess up even further than she already has… but does she? LOL NO.
