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.

Hello, sweet summer children!
Unfortunately, Nathaniel is out this week on emergency medical leave (don't worry, he's alright), so we're releasing an episode that was previously buried in the archive of recorded but unreleased episodes from when we were getting started with our work on the show.
In this episode, we deep dive into "Aim and Ignite" by the baroque-pop band fun.. We chat about the album's themes, its most poignant lyricism, and what songs we like best.
fun. rose to international fame after the release of their second studio album, "Some Nights" (2012). The band has been on hiatus since the end of the tour surrounding the release of "Some Nights". Both "Aim and Ignite" and "Some Nights" are excellent, emotive, and walk a curious tightrope between blind faith and heartfelt agnosticism. If you're reading this, you should absolutely listen to both albums.
Also, we don't say it in the episode, but we're deeply grateful to Katy Davidson and the band Key Losers for allowing us to use their track "Don't Know Why" from the album "California Lite". This song bumpers our show, and without it, our voices would be hollow, empty, and sad.
There's a few oddities in this episode that come from its divorce from other segments of the show that are presently unreleased. Don't be upset; relish in the mystery. We're sure you'll hear those pieces later.
Thanks for listening. Remember: Everyone like bad things.
