Summary

For nine years and over 1100 episodes Dan Friesen and his co-host Jordan Holmes helmed the podcast Knowledge Fight, where they unpacked and analyzed the neverending flood of nonsense that flowed from the mouth of Alex Jones through his media empire Infowars. After it was announced that Alex Jones’ ownership of Infowars had ended, even if his career as a broadcaster had not, Knowledge Fight decided to call it quits earlier this month, ending a podcasting run that began in 2017. We speak to Dan about what it’s like to spend nearly a decade covering Alex Jones, why people are still drawn to Jones, the value of debunking, The Onion’s deal to take over the Infowars brand, and how his brain is healing now that he no longer listens to unhinged rants every week. https://www.showmestateofmind.com/ Subscribe for $5 a month to get all the premium episodes: www.patreon.com/qaa Check out our new podcast series network Cursed Media!

0:44.9	Jake Rockatansky, Julian Field, and Travis View. Covering toxic media in podcast form is a kind
0:51.5	of alchemical transmutation. While the source content is typically
0:55.3	deceitful, cruel, and boring to everyone not locked into a specific online echo chamber,
1:00.2	responsible coverage of it has to be rigorously skeptical, humane, and entertaining even the
1:05.3	people who only spend a healthy amount of time reading news and social media feeds. It's not easy,
1:10.6	which is why so few of people do it.
