It's goodbye from Felix, Shaira and Melisa as we decide to end the podcast early due to unfortunate, unforeseen circumstances.

But we're truly grateful to everyone who listened and interacted with us. Here are messages from each of us to explain more.

Fannibals forever.

#Hannibal
Our podcast, Fate & Circumstance, has been on hiatus for a long time. This is because of several, separate unexpected life events that happened between myself, Shaira and Melisa. We were finally ready to record again on Tuesday 26th August, to cover the season 3 episode ‘Dolce’, when on the evening of Monday 25th August, I received a phonecall from my Mother to inform me that the police had visited her home, because the body of my sister had been found dead in a hotel room. We still do not know the cause of her death and, although I have tried to remain productive, the sad truth is that I simply do not have it in my heart to continue and finish the podcast. I had been experiencing increasing levels of stress and anxiety when preparing episodes, which take a great deal of work and research, and started to suffer from panic attacks and hyperventilation on recording days, the likes of which I haven’t experienced in years. As many know, I have also in general just had a truly terrible year. This grief isn’t going to go away any time soon, so I have decided that it’s for the best if we end things here. I am sad not to finish when we were so close to hitting the second half of season 3, but sometimes life just doesn’t want to give you a break and you have to make decisions that are difficult but ultimately kind to yourself. I am so grateful for Shaira and Melisa for going on this journey with me and letting me expose them to this wonderful and ridiculous show, I will be forcing them to watch the rest of season 3 with me in our own time. I am also incredibly grateful to everyone who has listened and interacted with us, I was amazed at how many people approached me at Red Dragon Con to talk about the podcast, you’ve been so kind and wonderful. As I type this, we’re at over 5000 downloads and over 3,300 listeners, which is worlds beyond what I ever imagined for such a niche, nerdy little podcast. I won’t be going anywhere, the Twitter account is being rebranded and will continue to be a Hannibal fan account, with signal boosting people’s art and writing as well as my own, sharing memes, etc. The other socials will stay up. Eventually the Podbean hosting for the podcast will end because I don’t wish to pay for it indefinitely, but the episodes will remain up on our YouTube channel. Thank you so much for listening to our rants, rambles and weirdly specific research. It’s been amazing. Before I go, I’d like to shout out some other Hannibal podcasts that you should be listening to if you’re not already: The Feast Is Life, hosted by DB Mars and Dream - thefeastislife.podbean.com Deconstructing Hannibal, hosted by Sihaya - deconstructinghannibal.buzzsprout.com Quantifiably Bitchy, hosted by Ch00chling/Rachela - https://www.youtube.com/@quantifiablybtchy And a special mention to Rude Eats, hosted by Jeremy Greer and Mary Turner. Sadly Jeremy passed away earlier this year, but he put a tremendous amount of work into the podcasts that he made, and you can honour his work by listening to all of the episodes that he created. https://linktr.ee/RudeEats Felix It's sad to have to announce the end of our podcast, despite being so close to the end but due to circumstances noted above and personal circumstances we have had to call it. We've had so much fun with the community and I met some of you travelling to Germany of all places! Thank you all for listening! We really appreciate you all engaging and we are totally gonna miss your reactions to us watching the show for the first time. Don't worry, I will finish it! I am sure we all will and we will be scarred more than we are now! Take care of yourselves Fannibals! Shaira you freaks!! my gay ass is just as sad (and gay) as all of yours, i've had the best time being a part of this podcast and really learned so much. thank you to felix and shaira for being the absolute best co hosts and incredible friends, the perseverance from the both of them through so much and especially with all the prep that felix would do each week to bring you the material that we would, it's beyond admirable! i'm so glad to have been introduced to this fandom and i hope we can all be slutty fannibal weirdos together still <3 thank you for the love and support, it's so wild that so many of you tuned in but so eternally grateful!! i'd unconsiously deep throat an ear for any of you xx Melisa

All three of us have serious life issues going on at the moment, so sadly, I couldn't arrange anything special to mark the occasion, but yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the first episode of our podcast. 💕

Hey folks,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the podcast is going on hiatus for a while.

We don't know when we'll be back, but we will be finishing off the first half of season 3 when we do, and then carry on as normal. ❤️

In the meantime, we have lots you can listen to!

Everybody, please wish a big happy birthday to the wonderful, gorgeous, Hannibal-cannibal-family-loving host of the podcast, @shairabambi.bsky.social !

Their current obsession, as we finished season 2, is that Will is dead and going to return only in Hannibal's memory palace for season 3.

I'm currently creating an audio montage of Melisa and Shaira's first reactions to Mizumono, and I mixed this together so that the show audio cuts off before Shaira's final comment on the moment when Hannibal smells Freddie on Will, and it made me laugh
