This week on The Disinfo Detox, host Nolan Higdon sits down with Nicholas Baham III—professor of Ethnic Studies at California State University East Bay, author, and co-host of The People’s Detective podcast—to explore the power of art and popular culture as forms of political resistance. From jazz to hip-hop, film to literature, artists have long challenged systems of corruption, censorship, and inequality. Baham highlights why Oakland has been such a vital setting for cultural resistance and what these stories reveal about the failures of mainstream news.

👉 How art and popular culture serve as weapons of resistance
👉 The overlooked history of artists confronting political corruption
👉 Why Oakland matters as a cultural and political epicenter
👉 What censored or ignored stories reveal about the media landscape

If you care about the intersection of culture, politics, and resistance—and how art can tell truths the news won’t—this conversation is a must-watch.
