Spreaker
I’m Jessica Yellin, the founder of News Not Noise. For years, I worked in network news at ABC, MSNBC, and CNN, where I was the Chief White House Correspondent. I’ve reported from around the world and won awards.

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 2023Duration 28:18

Ben Smith is one of the most influential media and politics reporters today. Smith was one of the first reporters at politico and went on to become the founding editor of Buzzfeed News. He was a must-read media columnist at the NY Times and is now co-founder of global media outlet, Semafor.

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 2022Duration 57:43

The Dobbs Voter. Will she make all the difference in November?

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?

mercredi 14 septembre 2022Duration 53:16

Vasectomies are on the rise, ever since the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe versus Wade. Because plenty of men are also interested in avoiding unwanted pregnancies. So would they be willing to do what women do and take birth control? Some male birth control products are showing promising signs in clinical trials.

So how far are we from bringing male birth control to market? Would men be willing to take it? And what’s the hold up – why doesn’t this exist already?

The group of experts we gathered tell us men are ready for contraception. We’re waiting on the system to catch up to our needs. To discuss it all I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Page
Professor of Medicine and Board Certified Endocrinologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is helping to conduct a trial for a hormonal contraceptive gel for men. Heather Vahdat is Executive director of the Male Contraceptive Initiative, a nonprofit that funds research into non-hormonal, reversible male birth control. Dr. Ariel Moradzadeh, is a Men’s Health and Reproductive Urologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. And Dr. Emily Morse founder and host of the #1 Sexuality podcast on iTunes, Sex with Emily.

Public Image And Women Who Don’t Conform

mercredi 31 août 2022Duration 53:17

Finland’s female prime minister scandalized critics by getting caught on video, wait for it, dancing with friends. One of Canada’s most esteemed anchors was fired, after an executive expressed disappointment in her decision to stop coloring her grey hair. But Gen Z isn’t having it. Instead of conforming to project the perfect life, they’re going the other way: bragging to their online audiences about their failures, oddities and dramas.

Today we’re talking about public image. How expectations for women have and haven’t changed. How younger generations are going their own way.

Joining us: Amanda de Cadenet, founder of Girlgaze and Executive Producer and Host of The Conversation - a groundbreaking, multi-platform interview series. Wynter Mitchell a digital strategist, writer, and co-creator and host of the Waiting to X-Hale podcast. And Jessica Goldstein a contributing writer to The Washington Post Magazine and Arts & Style.

Rescuing Our Schools

mercredi 24 août 2022Duration 46:13

School boards have become political battlegrounds. Culture wars are centering on the classroom and teachers – underpaid and often feeling unsafe and unheard – are increasingly exiting the profession. None of this is improving the reality for students who are struggling with unprecedented learning loss and mental health challenges as a result of the pandemic.

In this podcast we talk with a group of people who are working on solutions. Emma Bloomberg, the founder and CEO of Murmuration, is working to get more people involved in school board level. John Della Volpe, Director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, focuses on how Gen Z can play a role. Adonica Duggan, CEO of Baton Rouge Alliance for Students, is working on student focused reforms. And Romy Drucker of the K-12 Education Program at the Walton Family Foundation looks at innovative practices that can make work more sustainable for teachers, and close learning gaps for students.

We learn about their work, ask their take on the politics of distraction around schooling, and take your questions.

What We Do and Don’t Know About Depression

mercredi 3 août 2022Duration 54:29

In this episode we dive into the roots of depression, how antidepressants work, and additional treatments that are proven effective at improving wellbeing and mood. The News Not Noise audience reacted with intense emotion when we reported on a recent umbrella study concluding that decades of research shows that a lack of serotonin is not the root driver of depression overall. So we decided to ask experts about the latest research on depression and interventions including antidepressants, psychedelics, plant based medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma therapy and more.

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.
