n this episode of The Disinfo Detox, Nolan Higdon and resident philosopher Dickey tear through the fog of 2026’s most calculated distractions. As the Silicon Valley giants pivot from “social platforms” to literal defense contractors, the duo dives into the escalating legal warfare between Big Tech and the Pentagon—and what it means for the future of your data privacy.
But the institutional rot doesn’t stop at the shoreline. Nolan and Dickey turn their critical lens toward the “nuanced” censorship unfolding at CBS. Is it editorial standards, or a strategic silencing of dissent? We break down how legacy media is navigating the thin line between corporate interests and the public’s right to know.
We also take a hard look at the latest unredacted Epstein revelations, tracking the names that continue to resurface despite the media’s best efforts to bury them. Finally, we tackle the “Age of Hypocrisy” head-on by deconstructing the massive sex scandal rocking the right-wing influencer circuit—proving that for many “moral leaders,” the brand is often a mask for the basement.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
