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.

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.
This conversation was originally held live on the Clubhouse App.
