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.
