Episode 28: "Let's Talk A Silent Voice, Mental Health, and Sign Language" Ft. Bee

"The Toon Balloon" podcast is our outlet to discuss, theorize, and enjoy Webtoons with the occasional anime and manga sprinkled in between! **This episode will touch on sensitive topics so please listen at your own discretion.** In this week's episode, we will be tying a discussion over mental health and Deaf awareness with the emotional animated film, "A Silent Voice". My friend Bee and I discuss the film's depictions of mental health and bullying. We also dive into her experiences with learning sign language and how one can go about learning it as well! This episode was made in honor of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and National Deaf Awareness Month. Thank you for listening to my humble podcast! See you next time!
