Normal and Good Podcast

This episode is less of a Season 2 recap and more of a touch-base-before-Season-3 session.

In podcast news, we will be doing one episode of Hannibal per podcast, like a normal show produced by humans. This will allow us to have episodes that are a reasonable length! Hooray!
