“Nolan Higdon doesn’t just poke holes in extremist narratives and half-truths—he tears them apart with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel. Whether he’s unraveling disinformation, censorship, or other societal issues, I’m listening...hooked on the promise of a well-reasoned challenge to establishment (and often incorrect) dogma.” -

"Dr. Nolan Higdon is one of the most important voices we have on modern media, particularly media literacy. He is a remarkable academic, and a riveting public speaker. He also has the increasingly rare ability to broach controversial subjects in a manner that won’t alienate those who disagree with him." -

"Nolan Higdon is the rare individual who is highly effective at the busy crossroads of scholar, teacher, political pundit, and media maker. He is a colleague and teacher who leads with curiosity and compassion and without ego or hubris. I’ve worked with Dr. Higdon for several years and on multiple collaborations across a variety of capacities. We have written op-eds, journal articles, book chapters, and books together, presented at conferences together, and exchanged guest lectures in each other’s classes. We have led workshops on critical pedagogy, surveillance technologies, and critical media literacy. Nolan is one of the most committed scholars I have had the pleasure to work with and I am honored to call him my colleague, my collaborator, and my friend."

"Nolan Higdon is the kind of educator I wish I’d had - sharp, fearless, and relentlessly curious. We've shared podcast conversations and a healthy skepticism of institutional power, and I’m always struck by his clarity and integrity. Nolan doesn’t just teach critical media literacy, he embodies it. Any student in his class, or listener to his podcast, is in for an unforgettable, mind-expanding ride."
