Good
I missed this show and I’m glad Dan is back to tell me about more terrible men and their content.
I think Sophie Lichterman and Jason Prop Petty would both be great guests.

WHY?
Why did they take away all the old episodes? That’s just hateful😢
QUE PASTA
Glad Dan is back and hope that Jake is joining the show permanently.
Having Jake from the QAA podcast is like adding peanut butter to chocolate!
That said I wish there weren't commercials and that the old episodes weren't paywalled.But that's not a deal breaker for me.

KF is dead; long live KFC
Loving the new podcast with Dan and Molly

Disappointed
First, I am so happy for Dan for taking a big step and evolving. I like the new show and will continue to listen. What I don’t like is them locking ALL the OG episodes behind a paywall and removing several hundred episodes… completely antithetical to what the OG show was.

Dan’s awesome. He needs to upgrade his audio equipment. I don’t know if Molly is a permanent cohost but she is awesome so choose carefully if she’s not around lol.

Deeply disappointed
I am devastated to see that 100s of episodes of the show I so deeply loved have been removed. I really thought that there would be more respect for the legacy of KF despite how things ended. Unfortunately I will not be listening to any new releases on this feed as a result.

Love it
Loved Knowledge Fight but I prefer Knowledge Fight Country. Fantastic podcast!

Audio quality and ads
Really disappointed with the new show… Dan’s audio quality is horrible and the ads go against everything KF once stood for. So dull now.

Knowledge Fight + Cool Zone? Heck yes
Glad to see Dan back at it and is now on CoolZone!! I’m enjoying this new iteration of KF!

I hear Jordan’s laugh in my dreams.
I guess that this new podcast actually took over the exact spot that used to be held by KF. I notice that in order to leave a review I’m actually editing my existing review.
I’ll leave the title exactly as it is.
I understand that a lot of times we have to make hard decisions in order to take care of ourselves financially. That’s a thing. Even in a world where we love what we do and would do it for free, capitalism is not so patient.
That being said, I would suggest that we could take better care of each other than what has been represented here.
Being invited to sit at the cool kids table shouldn’t necessarily require the ignoring of band geeks.

Thank you Dan!
I was so sad when KF ended and I’m so glad you brought this back. I hope you and Jordan are well and thanks for creating a new feed for KF classic!

We miss that Jordan / dan Combo
This used to be a 5 star podcast; it was hilarious and educational. Dan and Joran made probably the best podcast due that ive ever seen. Unfortunately all good things come to an end and whatever this is today without Jordan aint it.. its sad to see a good thing fall apart.

Sad!
i wish i could find any other work that Jordan might be doing; Dan’s new stuff is falling incredibly flat tonally and I don’t love that he kept using the same feed for the new stuff without any mention or link to Jordan. While i think the last year or two of KF was getting pretty same-y/it might be good to do more coverage of the other freaks and weirdos, and i don’t doubt they could’ve used the money from ads, the break between Dan and Jordan RE: the Onion/InfoWars stuff (and possibly other, longer-term differences) is hard to comprehend. Mildly amusing though the new InfoWars stuff may be, it’s already getting stale and I think Jordan was dead-on about the relatively futility of turning it into some sort of satire project.

Oh no… someone did a capitalism in a capitalist society, boohoo I can’t listen anymore… the new show is good, the old show is not paywalled, 30 second skip exists, I swear people love to complain

Complete Betrayal
Dan betrayed the spirit of knowledge fight by having ads, kicking Jordan off, and trying to make it “big.” Sorry, Dan, you’re not as good as you think you are. Jordan is the soul and conscience of knowledge fight and I won’t be listening to this new iteration.

I was a dedicated Knowledge Fight listener (heartbroken) and a longtime listener of other Cool Zone podcasts. Just reacting to the first episode, I’m not a fan of this new iteration. Dan’s solo work is pretty flat and I don’t think I look forward to the Cool Zone rotation of guests. And ads? I know that goes with the CZ/iHeart territory but hearing Dan go to an ad break makes me sad.

People be crazy
Change is hard and hating is easy. I like the pivot. I've wanted to hear more about Tucker and the other clowns for a while. As a freeloader I'm happy to suffer through ads if that keeps the show going. I can't wait to see where it goes from here, keep it up!

Disappointing
I started listening to KF during lockdown and there have been so many days when it was the one thing keeping me sane. One of my favorite things about it was the boys’ choice not to have sponsors and to stay advertiser-free so that they could say what they wanted to say without compromise, and reach people who really needed to hear what they were saying. Locking the old content behind a paywall now feels like a slap in the face to that principle. One of my absolute favorite podcasts ever, but (yet again!) corporate interests ruin everything.

There is no paywall.
Just writing this review in case folks are seeing the other reviews indicating that the prior Knowledge Fight catalogue is paywalled—it is not. It is just separated into its own feed for Knowledge Fight, while KFC uses this feed. All of the previous KF episodes are still available to listen to for free, just in a separate feed.
SayNoToAcid
Fine
Bright spots are gone and now with ads. I’m out.
Romex8ter
What happened to the audio?
Dan sounds TERRIBLE in the new episode. You are ruining his silky voice!
Also continuing this from the old pod and paywalling it is just trashy.
DwuudZ
Still crazy
after all these beers

Old eps are still free, new ep good!
The old episodes are still free in a separate RSS feed; just search Knowledge Fight in the search bar. I was rubbed the wrong way when I thought they were paywalled but nah we still got them so I can just be excited about the new show. It’s just a bit weirdly set up.

THE OLD SHOW IS IN A DIFFERENT RSS FEED
Hey to the people review bombing because they think the old episodes are behind a paywall now. ALL OF THE OLD EPISODES ARE ON A DIFFERENT RSS FEED AND ARE STILL FREE. The new is great and anyone who is review bombing is a little titttty baby

Why audio bad
Sold to CZM and they have Dan an Xbox headset mic to record into, then paywalled all the old episodes and removed the cover art. Weird choice, Robert Evans!
Teabaggindragon
Yes!
So happy to see Dan back with KFC! I’ll admit, I’ve missed Dan’s perspective on the insane side of politics. And I love this new format with invited guests.

Where’s Jordan?
Loved the old show. Loved Jordan. Didn’t like how this transition went down. Won’t be listening.
T____.
So happy you are back
Really great episode, happy to hear Molly’s voice, I do miss Jordan but again happy you got a new gig. Can’t wait until the next episode!!!
KittyNattie
Glad to have you back
For those that are wondering, the old episodes are on a new feed and there are no advertisements on them. (Looking at you “Sold Out.”)

Paywall sucks
Been a patron for years and kept it up even after the show ended. Having the old feed suddenly get paywalled sucks.

You were my Golden Girls
UPDATE: I cannot even begin to tell you the relief I felt when I saw this on my podcast feed. Thank you for not making us go through this hellscape without you, after all!
Before there were podcasts, I watched the Golden Girls when I needed comfort. Then there were podcasts and you were my Golden Girls. Thanks for that. 😭❤️

I’m out
Good you have this new thing, but now all past episodes are paywalled? Line drawn, I’m out. Best of luck to you in the future.

Sold out
Happy for you, but it sucks that the old content is paywalled now
Queen Motoko
Yes!
So happy to see this coming back in some new form and especially stoked it’s coming under the CoolZone Media family. Excellent choice Dan! I am so looking forward to this.

Hell yeah, Dan!
LFG!

A truly infuriating subject
I started listening to this show in 2017. It is/was my favorite podcast. Dan and Jordan made something truly special. The show might be over but the fight isn’t.

Annoying.
The one guy sounds like Tucker Carlson with his annoying laugh. No original takes. Just talking points.

How a Random Discord Pizzagate Link Enhanced My Life
I found Knowledge Fight in one of the most cursed ways possible, which honestly feels very fitting: through a random Discord post from a friend of a friend who dropped a link about Alex Jones talking about Pizzagate.
Now, I already knew who Alex Jones was. His name was impossible to avoid during the Sandy Hook years, especially back when YouTube felt like the Wild West and almost anything could end up uploaded. I remember seeing the controversies, the conspiracy theories, the arguments, and the absolute chaos surrounding him — including the interviews and interactions he had with the families of the Sandy Hook victims. So when I saw a post about Alex Jones and Pizzagate, my curiosity immediately kicked in.
I thought, “Oh no… I know this name. I need to know what is happening here.”
And that’s how I found Knowledge Fight.
I don’t remember the exact first episode I listened to, but I do remember laughing at how absurd everything was. The thing that hooked me wasn’t just the ridiculousness of Alex Jones — it was Dan and Jordan.
The dynamic between them was instantly fascinating. Dan’s ability to calmly and meticulously explain years of Alex Jones’ nonsense while Jordan reacted with the exact level of disbelief and chaos that the situation deserved was perfect. Dan would bring the research, the receipts, and the timeline. Jordan would bring the “ARE YOU HEARING THIS RIGHT NOW?” energy. Somehow, together, they created a show that was hilarious while still taking the damage Alex Jones causes seriously.
Naturally, instead of just listening to random episodes, I decided the only reasonable thing to do was start from the beginning.
And I’m so glad I did.
Knowledge Fight became one of my favorite things to listen to during my time working at Amazon. Ten-hour shifts surrounded by constant machinery noise were not exactly a dream environment, and I desperately needed something to keep my brain occupied. That’s where Dan and Jordan came in.
There is something incredibly funny about trying not to laugh at work because Jordan is screaming about something completely unhinged while Dan is laughing in the background or calmly explaining another layer of Alex Jones nonsense. It was the kind of show that made long shifts feel a little less miserable.
One of my favorite moments was hearing Alex play clips from his own show — especially when he would play a clip of someone else speaking and then interrupt himself every few seconds to scream some completely unrelated nonsense. The fact that he would pause his own evidence just to spiral was incredible. I remember laughing so hard at one of those moments that I replayed it multiple times because it was just the perfect example of why Knowledge Fight worked so well.
Dan and Jordan understood the assignment.
They understood that Alex Jones is both dangerous and absurd. They didn’t just make fun of him; they documented him. They showed patterns, tracked the lies, explained the history, and gave people the context needed to understand how someone like Alex Jones operates. But they also never forgot that sometimes the only appropriate response to certain things is a deep sigh followed by laughter.
That balance is what made the show special.
Dan’s dedication to research and detail paired perfectly with Jordan’s humor, emotion, and genuine disbelief. Their friendship and chemistry carried the entire show. It felt like listening to two friends sitting down and saying, “Can you believe this guy?” except one of those friends had a mountain of documentation ready to prove exactly why you should not believe this guy.
I’m currently only around episode 370 on the Podcasts app, which makes this ending feel especially funny because for years I wondered: What would happen to Knowledge Fight if Alex Jones’ show ever ended?
Well… now we know.
The end of Knowledge Fight feels bittersweet, especially with everything surrounding the end of InfoWars and The Onion’s involvement in that saga. After so many years of covering Alex Jones, it feels strange that this chapter is closing. But at the same time, I’m incredibly grateful that this show existed for as long as it did.
Because honestly? What are the odds that a random Discord link about Pizzagate would lead me to one of my favorite podcasts?
I’ve recommended this show to friends whether they wanted to hear about Alex Jones or not. That is the power of a good podcast: sometimes you don’t know you need something until someone throws you into the weirdest possible rabbit hole.
And luckily for me, I still have hundreds of episodes left to enjoy. As long as the Podcasts app keeps those episodes available, I’ll still have plenty of Dan and Jordan breaking down Alex Jones’ greatest hits.
Thank you, Dan and Jordan, for the research, the humor, the chaos, the chemistry, the inside jokes, and the many moments where I probably looked ridiculous laughing to myself while listening.
Thank you for making something informative without making it miserable. Thank you for making something funny without ignoring the seriousness behind it. Thank you for years of exposing nonsense while somehow making the process entertaining.
Knowledge Fight was a strange little corner of the internet that turned into something genuinely special.
And yes, technically The Onion may have helped bring the InfoWars chapter to a close — but Knowledge Fight spent years making sure people understood exactly what Alex Jones was doing.
So thank you for the memories, the laughs, the screaming, the research, and the emotional damage.
Five stars for the podcast.
Ten stars for Jordan yelling.
And a lifetime achievement award for surviving Alex Jones.

Show me state of mind
Hi, Dan. Huge fan of knowledge fight. When I saw you had a new podcast, I popped, not just because I was a fan but because of the concept.
Years ago, I would play a game with my friends or spouse on road trips called “what is your town known for?” The premise was simple, at every stop in a road trip for restroom or food, we would ask a local what their town is known for and whatever was said, we would visit that thing. Some were obvious like the Arch in St. Louis or chili spaghetti in Cincinnati to the obscure Kansas town claiming to be the basis for the real Smallville…then they also mentioned a fire that reshaped their town. It was fun to see the obscure and dumb things in the US. Well, we always spoke about doing a podcast or documentary type thing but life got in the way. Anyway, love the concept, hope it is a success and I would have totally visit led the big tree with you with gusto.

Farewell
It was a pleasure, gents. Listened to every episode except the latest because endings are so difficult and knowing that such a wonderful podcast that ended up helping bring some justice to the Sandy Hook families is over breaks the heart. You did good work, Dan and Jordan. Proud to be a fan.

Gut-punch!
Oh, today I am binging final episodes and rants, I did not know all the end had already happened, but the final show is perfect, including the near-fiasco tech glitch. Love you guys.

Farewell, Gents
I’ve enjoyed the show from the first to the final episode. Dan and Jordan made getting up in the morning in dire times worthwhile. I’ll miss the show, but thank you, gents; you two and Celine and your wonderful guests kept me free from the tentacles of the dark side of the Internet, and I’ll never forget that. I wish both of you success in all future endeavors.

So sad to see you go. I found your podcast late (within the last year) but looked forward to it every week since discovery. I will truly miss you two!

Good Bye
Although I knew it had to happen it was still upsetting for the fellas to go. Good bye dear friends, I’ll miss Jordan screaming awake for work. Also, you can mix methylene blue and red and blue to make purpl. You are fine, I called and asked.

Good Bye
Seeing this end was like the day I found out my parents were getting divorced. I knew it was going to happen at some point but still shook my world. I understand though.
