🎙️ This week on The Disinfo Detox, the Media Literacy Wrecking Crew—Nolan Higdon, Sydney Sullivan, and Dickey—tear into the wildest headlines and hidden narratives the mainstream won’t touch. From Gavin Newsom’s curated social media presence to the new vices replacing sex, booze, and smokes among Gen Z, the crew exposes how power, profit, and propaganda collide.

Inside this no-holds-barred episode:
👉 Newsom Online – What Gavin’s social media strategy reveals about modern politics.
👉 Youth and New Vices – Why a generation is trading old temptations for digital addictions.
👉 Progressive Pressure – How students are navigating the demand to perform political identities.
👉 Guess the Decade – Our game where absurd headlines blur the lines between past and present.
👉 Media Literacy Moment – Sydney unpacks the mechanics of virality and what fuels it.
👉 Sidebar with Dickey – Big Tech’s stranglehold on democracy and why it matters now.

If you care about media literacy, critical thinking, and laughing while you dismantle disinformation, this one’s for you.
