The Feast is Life
by D.B. Mars and Dream
The Feast is Life is a podcast dedicated to NBC’s short-lived but much-beloved television series Hannibal, starring Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy. The show is not another episode analysis series. Instead, your hosts — hardcore Fannibals Dream and D.B. Mars — deep dive into references made in the show, investigating everything from the mythology behind Botticelli’s Primavera to the appeal of torture museums. Featuring special guests who bring something exceptional to the fandom, this podcast is for the fannibal ready to fall down the rabbit hole and peel back the layers of one of the best shows to grace the small screen. Each episode will also have fanfic recommendations, fanart shoutouts, and lots of thirst for Hugh and Mads. Hope you’re hungry, fannibals, because it’s time to eat the rude and come back for seconds. The feast is life – eat it and live.
