It is possible to become saturated with media. Pictures, words, sounds... they are all available to anyone with an Internet connection, 24 hours of every single day.
And the media change all the time; we discuss the changes and highlights in a monthly segment called Signals & Noise.
Our regulars discuss the hot topics: Chris Lucas from the Southern Oregon University Communication faculty, and Cal Poly-Humboldt Journalism and Mass Communication Chair Victoria Sama.
Join us for a discussion that can include topics as disparate as video-streaming services and the best Victorian novels.
