About this episode

Jason discusses the ongoing conflict in Iran and its connection to broader themes of disorder and populism, featuring an interview with Nolan Higdon.

In this episode of Disorder latest, Jason updates on the for-ever war in Iran and the Straight of Hormuz and how the disorder we are experiencing over there is conceptually connected to the bigger concepts of the Disorder pod: the Global Enduring Disorder and the rise of the Neopopulists. He does this via a conversation on the Disinformation Detox with Nolan Higdon, which we air with our own intro.    Producer: Sam Cluely    Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/    Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow    Show Notes Links:    The U.S. and Iran standoff over the Strait of Hormuz intensifies https://www.npr.org/2026/07/15/nx-s1-5894582/us-iran-updates     Disorder is through to the next judging round for the News, Politics & Current Affairs category of the British Podcast Awards. You can see the full longlist here: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/longlist-2026       Vote for Disorder in the British Podcast Awards listeners choice…
