Thomas Harris's novels, particularly The Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon, and Hannibal, have been mentioned across several podcast programs, including Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, Pod Save America, The Rubin Report, This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, and The Joe Rogan Experience. On Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, the hosts referenced The Silence of the Lambs as a cultural touchstone when discussing a weaselly academic figure and when addressing listener mail about Plum Island and characters from the Hannibal Lecter series. The podcast also referenced the Red Dragon cases from the series to illustrate the evolution of a serial killer's sophistication. Pod Save America featured a light-hearted, sarcastic mention of the fictional character Hannibal Lecter. On The Rubin Report, the speaker mentioned the character Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs while discussing villains in storytelling. Theo Von compared a caller's description of an ex-boyfriend's behavior to the creepy atmosphere of The Silence of the Lambs. Finally, Joe Rogan used The Silence of the Lambs on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience as an example when discussing plain writing styles in books compared to modern authors who he felt go too far.
