Peep This Noise is a podcast centered on critical analysis of media of all kinds. We’ll be aiming for an open minded, approachable discussion of a variety of topics in literature, film, music, theatre, games, and other forms of art. As we cover various pieces, we examine things like:
Representation of ethnicity, belief, and gender in media;
Framing and representation of disability in art;
How writers explore and portray physical and emotional trauma;
How various genres, including science fiction and fantasy, provide metaphors for and potential solutions to modern society’s most troubling problems, such as violence, hate, and socioeconomic/environmental crises;
Perspectives for critical analysis, including (but not limited to) feminist, queer studies, and Marxist reads of media.

In 2008, during the throes of a TV writer's strike, Joss Whedon and a small team released the mini-series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, a short musical which comments and subverts superhero movies.
In this episode, we look at the mini-series and discuss the ways in which it anticipates modern superhero films. We examine how it adheres to and diverts from Campbell's "monomyth", and we talk about the music and the role it plays in the project.
Hope you enjoy!
PS: Sorry this is late and that Nathaniel and Gregg sound like they're underwater. It's been a tough remote recording
