Show Me State Of Mind
Dan FriesenMissouri is known as the "Show Me State," which is dumb. On the flip side of the coin, Dan is a guy from Missouri and he likes to be shown things, even if those things are sometimes pretty dumb. This podcast is a means for him to seek those places out, and meditate on how they relate to their human experience. Music by DJ Danarchy Cover art by Angela Lampsbury

- Show Me State of Mind
Dan’s new pod is thoughtful, philosophical and deeply funny. To be fair, it is nothing I didn’t expect after years of Knowledge Fight. I am very excited to see where this journey goes.

I had no idea what to expect, other than a quality show given who’s making it. I have been absolutely loving this podcast. The guests are always great (special shout out to Robbie Parker, what an interview) and I’m enjoying the odd places Dan finds. I’m stoked to hear all 52 episodes and beyond.
Apple Podcasts5VanBeveragesUnited States15 days ago - Dan could narrate drying paint
When I was listening Knowledge Fight, I remember thinking that I could listen to Dan Friesen narrate paint drying and it would be thoroughly entertaining. Now that he’s “Showing” us these mundane but fascinating locales, that notion has been reinforced. Thanks for all of enjoyment, and I’m so glad you were able to follow your dreams!
Apple Podcasts5Novelty beverage enthusiastUnited States16 days ago - Loving the show so far, can’t wait to see more!
Dan brings so much character and whimsy to these little trips. Can’t wait to see what he does in my home state of California!
Apple Podcasts5Lev DarneyUnited States20 days ago Was going to listen to some old kf episodes and saw this on the feed. Dan's back!
Podcast Addict521 days agodavid- Love it!
This show’s got all the investigative feel and quirkiness of the host’s previous show knowledge fight, while benefitting from a whimsical subject matter. Just a nice break from a stressful day.
Apple Podcasts5lil AniUnited Statesa month ago - Dan-tastic
Dan does a really good job of finding the depth, whimsy, and individual connections that make ordinary or overlooked places and things magical and meaningful. He is an excellent writer, presenter, and interviewer, and I can't wait to see where his travels take him. This is a very relaxing podcast, and I like it a lot.
Apple Podcasts5Dr Nicholas T NameUnited Statesa month ago - New pod, same great content
I had concerns after years of loving Knowledge Fight but the things that I enjoyed about KF (curiousity and deep research, engaging scripting) are replicated by Dan in this new pod. It’s different and it’s also reassuringly familiar, but fresh.
Apple Podcasts5ikwihfCanadaa month ago - A must listen
I wasn’t really sure what to expect, having been an avid listener of Dan’s last podcast but this is a very interesting and thought provoking podcast and I continue to look forward following along on his travels.
Apple Podcasts5some birbCanadaa month ago - Heartwarming Podcast
This podcast is quirky and informative. The host Dan travels to average places and digs into information about them like he’s preparing for a disposition or something.
Apple Podcasts5WholesaleMemoriesUnited Statesa month ago - Dans back!

Dan took a trip to Wyoming West Virginia and with the help of Jordan (I miss you dudes chopping it up) turned the experience into one of the more memorable podcast discussions I can recall. Keep it up! Wonderful stuff
Apple Podcasts5MoonscrapeUnited Statesa month ago Dan brings not so much a breath of fresh air to the travel show as much as he reminds the joy of exploring.
Podcast Addict5a month agoMDB- Welcome Back Dan
I’ve missed your sonorous tones telling me about things I don’t know. Thus far, I’ve only heard the Illinois episode but, I could never have predicted where the story of an odd water tower was going.
