Description

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.
