The No Agenda Show, a listener-supported podcast that has dissected mainstream media for nearly two decades, will air its final episode this Thursday, host Adam Curry confirmed during the show's 19th-anniversary broadcast. The episode, titled "Off The Rails," was published on October 25, 2026, from the Texas Hill Country and featured a rotating cast of guest co-hosts. The announcement marks the end of a program that began in 2007 and produced 1,915 episodes, building a dedicated audience through its value-for-value funding model and skeptical analysis of politics, culture, and media.
Curry told the roundtable that the decision came after discussions with the family of late co-host John C. Dvorak. "Thursday will be the last, not just my last episode, but it will be the last episode of No Agenda," he said, explaining that he and the Dvorak family agreed that "the show is not the show without John and Adam." Dvorak, a longtime tech journalist and commentator, was a fixture of the program until his death. The anniversary episode served as a tribute to him, with venture capitalist Jason Calacanis recalling how he ran home from school to read Dvorak's PC Magazine column and crediting Dvorak with setting a standard that inspired generations of tech writers.
The end of No Agenda carries implications beyond the show itself. It closes a chapter in the independent podcasting movement that No Agenda helped shape, demonstrating that a listener-funded model could sustain a long-running program without corporate sponsors. The show's influence is evident in the format of media deconstruction it popularized, which has been adopted by numerous other podcasters. Curry's announcement also signals a transition for his audience: the Dvorak family is launching a new program called Partyline, while Curry will continue his podcast We Get To Do This with Pastor Jimmy and is resurrecting Curry and the Keeper with his wife Tina. The troll room and livestream infrastructure, maintained by Void Zero, are expected to remain operational.
For the show's dedicated listeners, known as producers, Curry confirmed that outstanding knighthoods, JCD Challenge Coins, and producer rings will still be honored, and donations will continue to be accepted at noagendadonations.com for those completing their peerage. The final episode is set for Thursday, October 29, 2026, bringing to a close a program that, as Curry put it, was never the same without its two hosts. The anniversary broadcast also touched on topics ranging from Elizabeth Holmes and startup hype to AI-generated media and the collapse of organized religion in Europe, underscoring the wide-ranging commentary that defined No Agenda's 19-year run.
