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.

This week, we're back for our first ever two-part episode, where we'll finish talking about Toradora!— at least for now. In this episode, we take a character each and examine how they interact with the show's core ideas of love and selfishness. Gregg talks about Ami Kawashima and how her need to be understood influences her understanding of love and connection; Nathaniel talks about Minori Kushieda and her emotional strategies of self-sacrifice for those around her; and Logan talks about Taiga Aisaka's instinctive discursive ownership of her feelings.
Most importantly, Logan expands upon his developing thesis that Ryuji Takasu has oatmeal for brains.
Hope you enjoy the episode!
