Nolan Higdon sits down with renowned historian and professor emeritus Allan Lichtman to discuss his book Great American Presidents: The Twelve Who Transformed the Nation, examining what truly makes a transformative leader in the face of national crises.

⁠In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we break down the intersection of news media, creative resistance, and political class dynamics in an era of record-breaking election spending. Nolan Higdon sits down with creative activist, journalist, and filmmaker Eleanor Goldfield to analyze how mainstream political narratives prioritize identity aesthetics over material conditions, the persistent corporate media censorship of vital stories, and the vital role of artists in challenging power.Eleanor joins Nolan to unpack the unspoken political divides shaping modern elections, from the $1 billion ad-spend blitz to the class vs. identity politics split inside political parties. We also explore her work with Project Censored sharing suppressed news stories, the gendered double standards faced by outspoken voices, and how artists—from creative movements to local activist communities like Austin—can use art as a weapon for systemic change. This episode pulls back the curtain on how media, capital, and culture interact, offering actionable insights for navigating narrative control today.#NolanHigdon #TheDisinfoDetox #EleanorGoldfield #MediaCensorship #ProjectCensored #ClassPolitics #ArtAndPolitics #IndependentMedia #PressFreedom #MediaLiteracy #Elections #MediaCriticism #CivicResistance

In this episode of The Disinfo Detox, we break down the volatile realities of modern information control, narrative manufacturing, and the systemic mechanics driving institutional compliance in mainstream media reporting. Nolan Higdon sits down with Assal Rad to dissect her work Don't Say Palestine: How the Media Manufactured Consent for Genocide, analyzing the deep-seated biases, structural omissions, and political pressures that shape Western coverage of Palestinian human rights.

For decades, the public has relied on traditional news pipelines to make sense of global conflicts, but today's political and media landscapes face unprecedented censorship and narrative management. Assal joins Nolan to look past the surface-level headlines to examine the real-world impact of these restrictive and deceptive tactics. We analyze the weaponization of language, the escalation of targeted narrative suppression, and the critical media literacy tools needed to defend democratic accountability against state and corporate manipulation. This episode pulls back the curtain on how media compliance manufactures consent for violence, and the practical steps citizens can take to support independent journalism and fight back.
