The No Agenda Show, the long-running independent podcast known for its skeptical approach to media and politics, released a special episode on July 26, 2026, titled “Producer’s Tribute to JCD.” The nearly three-hour program, hosted by Adam Curry, served as a listener-curated audio memorial to co-host John C. Dvorak, who died days earlier.

The tribute followed a family-and-friends remembrance on episode 1888 and marked a significant moment for the show’s global community as listeners responded to the loss of one of podcasting’s most distinctive voices. By building the episode from producer-selected clips rather than a conventional retrospective, the show leaned on the same participatory audience model that has long shaped its identity.

Curry began the episode by describing the public response since Dvorak’s death, saying Dvorak’s name had trended on X and that emails had overwhelmed his inbox. He said he spent eight hours assembling the tribute from clips submitted by producers through PodHerd, formerly known as ClipGenie.

“I spent about 8 hours yesterday putting this show together and it was amazing. These are your choices… I’d say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected on PodHerd Clip Genie, I completely forgotten about,” Curry said. He added that he was “laughing, crying” while compiling the segments.

The episode draws on Dvorak’s memorable moments from nearly two decades of broadcasts. Featured selections include the recurring “John C. Dvorak Tip of the Day,” with topics such as 2015 Cru Beaujolais, Fleur de Sel, Retsina, Youssef’s hummus, and muscadine wine.

Producers also chose segments featuring deconstructions of Victoria Nuland’s “F the EU” Ukraine call, Ticketmaster vaccine passports, and Washington Post fact-checking. The tribute included Dvorak’s theories on vasectomies, fractals, Marvin Minsky, and Seymour Rubinstein’s role in the origins of shrink-wrap licenses, along with signature bits such as “Game, Set, Match, the Lizard People Win,” fart-gate, and the “stay safe” retort.

Special credit was given during the episode to Sir Deenonymous and Void Zero for infrastructure support, Dame Jennifer for animated segments, and Sir Chris in Australia for a closing musical tribute performed by the Grumpy Old Dames. Those acknowledgments underscored the production role of the show’s listener community, which contributed both archive selections and technical support for the memorial broadcast.

The broadcast also includes Dvorak riffing on Algerian Saharan crude oil, gasifier trucks, Beaujolais vintages, Michael Clayton, Ban Ki-moon, Yatsenyuk, and Amy Klobuchar’s dropped consonants.

After the tribute, Curry announced that The No Agenda Show will take a two-week hiatus before returning with fill-in hosts Darren O’Neill and Larry Bleitner. The announcement comes as the podcast enters a new phase following Dvorak’s death, with the immediate schedule now centered on a short pause and guest-hosted return.

The No Agenda Show has been a fixture of independent media since its inception and is known for media deconstruction, humor, and its value-for-value model. The episode is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
