About this listen

 Who are we? A weekly special guest, host, and judge (my, that's a lot!) join Michael Judson Berry, a talented actor best known for bringing characters to life (and occasionally bursting into song), and Ryan Wilder a white-collar professional who’s swapped spreadsheets for witty banter. Together, they tackle Whyte Noise with a blend of theatrical flair and corporate polish, proving that opposites attract!

Each week, they’re assigned a random topic and must battle it out, talking for 10 minutes. The catch? No prize for the winner—just the glory of victory... and the sound of white noise.

Listen and follow… or don’t! It’s just Whyte Noise.Michael Judson Berry & Ryan Wilder Social Sciences

  • Slippery Science & SpongeBob: A Deep Dive into Kelp

    Slippery Science & SpongeBob: A Deep Dive into Kelp
    Jun 23 2025
    This week on Whyte Noise, Michael and Ryan are joined by special guest (and Michael’s sister!) Alyson Berry for a surprisingly hilarious deep dive into kelp—from its climate impact and slimy defenses to its role in ice cream, fire retardants, and even SpongeBob: The Musical.

    They unpack childhood seaweed trauma, Tony Award drama, and squeeze in a little Chernobyl, a kelp slime debate, and a grandma shoutout along the way.

    Come for the mucilage, stay for the musical theatre and marine biology.
