Quest for Quiet

Guest: Matthew Jordan, PhD, Associate Professor of Media Studies, Pennsylvania State University In the hit suspense film “A Quiet Place” we watch a family struggling to live their lives in complete silence so as not to attract vicious aliens with super-sensitive hearing. Silence is safety. Sudden noise brings sure death. Penn State University media studies professor Matthew Jordan wonders if the movie is doing so well with audiences because of our own complicated relationship to noise.
