If you find yourself avoiding the news, you're not alone. But what's turning you off is likely not the news itself it's the noise surrounding it. News Over Noise explores the challenge of separating spin and click-bait from good journalism and why it matters. This program empowers our citizenry by giving listeners the tools they need to balance staying informed while protecting their well-being and the public good. A co-production of WPSU and Penn State’s Bellasario College of Comunications, the show is hosted by Leah Dajches and Matt Jordan.

It’s a little after 7 a.m. on a Monday inside a small radio studio in Happy Valley. The voice behind the mic is familiar.
If you listen to classic rock, have gone to a Penn State basketball game, a State College Spikes baseball game, or just about any charity event in State College, you know the voice.
“… on 99.5 DAAAAAAA BUS,” says DJ Jeff Brown, the legend who has been filling the State College airwaves for decades.
Brown sits behind the mic, Mountain Dew by his side. He is clad in blue jeans, sneakers, and a Penn State pullover. If there’s a perfect voice for radio, Brown has it. The truth is that he could be broadcasting anywhere – so Centre County is lucky to have him.
