Whyte Noise
by Michael Judson Berry & Ryan Wilder
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.
