In this episode, I wrap up my discussion of settings in Season 1 with a deeper look at two of the most important places in the series - the BAU at the FBI in Quantico and the BSHCI. In Episode 5, I will be moving on to character and starting with the cannibal doctor himself. Below are links I mention in the episode. Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I delve into the settings of Season 1 - namely the important homes and offices in which much of the action, both internal and external occurs - Hannibal's office and home, Will's house, Jack's office, and Bedelia's house/office. I discuss both the production design along with my literary take on the symbolic significance of these places in setting the mood and tone for the show and how they become linked to character. Episode 4 will also be about settings - about the BAU, the BSHCI, and others. In this episode, I mention providing some links for those who want to learn more about the places discussed. Here ya go:

In this intro episode, I discuss my inspiration for the podcast and the beginnings of my love for Hannibal Lecter and the Fannibal Family. I break down the methods and theories I will be using to analyze not only Bryan Fuller's amazing show, but also Thomas Harris' books, and the Hannibal movies. I hope to have many Fannibal guests in future episodes. Any questions or comments? Reach out to me @sihaya74 on Twitter and @sihayathefannibal on Instagram. Enjoy!
