Adam Curry will end his 19-year run as host of the No Agenda Show on October 29, confirming the decision during episode 1912, titled 'Chaos Dynamic', published October 15, 2026. The announcement follows the death of longtime co-host John C. Dvorak, who underwent a double bypass surgery before his passing. Curry, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country with guest co-host Matt Long of the Matt Long Show on Hill Country Patriot FM, said the show as listeners know it died with Dvorak. "When John died, honestly, so did the show as we know it," Curry said. "Listening to a show like No Agenda requires two people who have a relationship. Our relationship was entirely unique."
Curry framed his exit as a spiritual rather than professional decision, rooted in his conversion three and a half years ago. He explained that the show's cynical format had taken a toll on his evolving worldview and that he had been preparing to raise a transition with Dvorak before the surgery. The final episode will conclude a twice-weekly media deconstruction that Curry and Dvorak launched in 2007 under a listener-supported, value-for-value model.
During the more than three-hour episode, Curry and Long wove the farewell narrative through the week's news cycle. Topics included Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's town hall, his flu absence, and his comments on abortion and scripture; a Wall Street Journal report on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's New Year's Eve 2024 Dubai trip; Starshield connectivity throttling in Ukraine and Elon Musk's response on X; Greta Thunberg's reappearance at French student protests amid President Macron's budget fight; and an AI-linked cyberattack that spoiled food at roughly 150 Intermarché, Carrefour, and Monoprix stores.
Curry detailed the ventures that will absorb his focus after October 29. They include Godcaster, a platform that turns churches into hyper-local radio stations and now supports more than 300 Christian stations; the We Get to Do This podcast co-hosted with Pastor Jimmy; and a forthcoming book. He credited producer Chuck Lorre's observations about sitcom family dynamics as a lens for understanding what made the Curry-Dvorak partnership irreplaceable.
Long, who hosts the Fredericksburg No Agenda meetups at J6er Jenny's Bar 1776 with his wife Gail, provided on-air support. He discussed his Benjamin Franklin reenactments, the Muse AI assistant, and a tip-of-the-day on acetone as a universal cleaner.
The announcement marks a definitive turning point for the listener-supported podcast, which has built a dedicated following by questioning how stories are framed, amplified, or ignored in mainstream media. For listeners, the final episode on October 29 represents the end of an era. For the broader podcast industry, Curry's departure underscores the challenges of sustaining a two-person show when one half of the partnership is lost and highlights the growing appeal of value-for-value models that bypass traditional advertising. Curry's post-show ventures, particularly Godcaster, signal a shift toward faith-based and local media projects, potentially influencing how religious organizations use podcasting to reach hyper-local audiences. Episode 1912 is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
