News Not Noise – Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.


The more years I got under my belt as a reporter, the more I became convinced that the news doesn't speak to a large part of the audience.
In the summer of 2018, I did something different. The midterm elections were approaching and friends asked me to explain what the heck was happening in the political cycle.
So, I picked up my phone and began posting short, daily explainer videos on Instagram. What started with me and a ring light is now a small team, dedicated to giving you news in a different voice. We aim to provide facts, not panic attacks. We interview real experts — not pundits.
My goal is to provide the understanding you need to engage in the conversation and take action in the world.

Traffic: Ben Smith On How The Media Got Hooked On Traffic
lundi 1 mai 2023 • Duration 28:18
Smith is out with a new book, Traffic – Genius, Rivalry and Delusion in the Billion Dollar Race to Go Viral. It chronicles the rise and decline of Buzzfeed and Gawker and the online ascent of right-wing populist figures like Andrew Breitbart and Ben Shapiro.
In this conversation we talk about the ways the race for clicks turned up the noise in the media and amplified the most bombastic voices. And we explore what’s next in media and where you can turn for trustworthy information as a media consumer.

The Dobbs Voter: Will Abortion Move Voters?
mercredi 21 septembre 2022 • Duration 57:43
After the Dobbs decision overturning Roe V Wade there’s been a surge in new voter registration among women. These voters are young and lean left. Is their enthusiasm to vote matched by equal enthusiasm on the other side? What does the data tell us and what can we expect in November?
We discuss it all with a panel of experts who are paying close attention to the ways the Court’s abortion ruling is shifting political expectations. Lauren Leader, co-founder and CEO of All in Together, a non-partisan non-profit women's civic education organization. Sarah Longwell publisher of the Bulwark and founder of the Republican Accountability Project. And Amanda Brown Lierman Executive Director at Supermajority, which focuses on bringing women together as a political force and protecting women's rights.
This panel will give you a window into what’s changed post Dobbs, when we’ll know the impact of the Dobbs voter, and if she’ll change our political landscape in the midterms and beyond.
This conversation was originally held live on Twitter Spaces.

Isn’t it Time for Male Birth Control?

What We Do and Don’t Know About Depression
mercredi 3 août 2022 • Duration 54:29
With no singular approach to treatment in mind, I speak to Dr. Philip Cowen, a Professor of Psycho-Pharmacology at the University of Oxford, and Dr. Samantha Boardman a Psychiatrist and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College, to hear their own learnings about depression and mental health treatment. I am also joined by writer, model, and actress Paulina Porizkova who shares her personal experiences with mental health and wellbeing.
The big takeaway: one size does not fit all.
This episode contains content about depression, anxiety, and mental health, which some listeners might find upsetting.
