This Is Our Design #5- “Mukozuke” with Emily VanDerWerff

These might not be the droids you're looking for, but this...is This Is Our Design, the Hannibal podcast. Somewhere out there, aliens are listening to co-hosts Sean Colletti and Kate Kulzick ramble on and on about serial killers and cannibalism, feeling reassured that not visiting Earth was the right call. This week, though, they can feast on the discussion with special guest Todd VanDerWerff, Culture Editor of Vox. Topics of the conversation include religious and water imagery in Hannibal, location, and the inevitable mayoral race that Hannibal will take part in with the help of Jonathan Tucker. Also featured are recurring segments "Kate's Classical Corner" and "The Devil in the Details." Prepare to have your minds blown (and possibly eaten, if Mads Mikkelsen gets his way). Have a listen and feel free to join the discussion by leaving some comments.
