The No Agenda Show, one of podcasting's longest-running independent productions, aired its final episode on October 29, 2026, after 19 years and 1,916 episodes. Host Adam Curry, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and joined by DH Unplugged co-host Andrew Horowitz, closed out the twice-weekly media deconstruction he built with the late John C. Dvorak, who passed away earlier in the year. The finale, Episode 1916, titled 'The Final Episode', was dedicated almost entirely to the show's global community of listener-producers, whose value-for-value donations sustained the program from its earliest days.
Rather than a conventional sign-off, the finale functioned as a living tribute. Curry and Horowitz worked through a lengthy spreadsheet of producer notes, interspersed ten listener-submitted end-of-show mixes—including contributions from Leo Lapuke, Agent Orange, Secret Agent Paul, Baron Darren, Melody, Bill Mounteney and Joss Baker—played a 'Guess the Show' segment featuring the 2006 debut of Dvorak's Cranky Geeks, and revisited a DH Unplugged clip in which Dvorak compared the stage presence of Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison. The hosts also outlined what comes next. Reflecting on the scale of the audience Dvorak and he built, Curry told Horowitz: 'Anybody who was a part of this show, and a lot of people came in during COVID, you're part of something that you probably can't even explain to your grandkids, maybe not even to your kids.' Horowitz, who worked with Dvorak for 18 years on DH Unplugged, praised Curry's contribution to the medium itself, saying, 'The fact is that that whole medium and allowing for voices to be heard, that's what you did.' Curry responded simply, 'All glory to God.'
The end of No Agenda marks a significant moment for independent podcasting. Since 2007, the show has offered an irreverent alternative to mainstream news analysis, relying on a value-for-value funding model powered by a global network of producers rather than advertising. Its longevity demonstrates the viability of listener-supported media and the enduring appeal of skeptical, independent media deconstruction. For the show's dedicated audience, the finale is both a loss and a transition: Curry confirmed that the noagendashow.net website will remain online and that the live stream will migrate to Void Zero Community Radio at voidzero.stream. The Dvorak family will launch Party Line at partylineshow.com, Horowitz continues DH Unplugged, and Curry will expand 'We Get to Do This' with Pastor Jimmy to Mondays and Thursdays while reviving 'Curry and the Keeper.' Curry also previewed an upcoming memoir due by the end of November and thanked production coordinator Jay Dvorak, who spent nine hours preparing the show's notes. Executive producers for the finale include Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility, Mackenzie J. Sillito, Dame Momacon, R.S. Bagwell and Sir Aaron.
For listeners and industry observers, the finale underscores the deep bonds formed between independent creators and their audiences. No Agenda's model—where producers directly fund and shape the content—has influenced a generation of podcasters. As Curry and Horowitz sign off, the show leaves behind a template for community-driven media and a reminder that, as Curry put it, being part of something larger than oneself is a legacy that defies easy explanation.
