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.

The Serpent and the Rainbow is a longer work, but it's one that's worth your time if you're interested in anthropology. The book details the work of ethnobotanist Wade Davis and his travels in Haiti, studying the potential origins of the phenomenon of zombification. In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on The Serpent and the Rainbow, its triumphs and its issues. We address the immense difficulty inherent in a white man's telling of a Haitian story, and we analyze the places where the narrative is at its most valuable.
Hope you enjoy!
