The long-running No Agenda podcast will end its 19-year run this Thursday, host Adam Curry confirmed during episode 1915, titled "Off The Rails," published October 25, 2026. The episode, which marks the show's 19th anniversary, also served as a tribute to Curry's late co-host John C. Dvorak and featured an unusually large roundtable of guests.
Curry made the announcement directly during the broadcast. "Thursday will be the last, not just my last episode, but it will be the last episode of No Agenda," he told the roundtable, explaining that he reached an agreement with the Dvorak family that "the show is not the show without John and Adam." The final episode is scheduled for Thursday, October 29, 2026.
The anniversary episode gathered venture capitalist Jason Calacanis, film producer Dana Brunetti, financial broadcaster Andrew Horowitz, Infowars host Rob Dew, and Texas commentator Matt Long. Topics ranged from Elizabeth Holmes and Nathan Fielder's new documentary to Tesla's flying car demo, AI-generated media "slop," immigration, housing policy, and the collapse of organized religion in Europe. Calacanis offered a tribute to Dvorak's influence on tech journalism, recalling running home from school to read Dvorak's PC Magazine column and crediting him with setting a standard that "many generations of tech writers and commentators were inspired by."
The end of No Agenda marks a significant moment for the independent podcasting community. Launched in 2007, the show pioneered a listener-supported, value-for-value funding model and a format of media deconstruction that influenced a generation of independent podcasters. Its departure leaves a gap in the media landscape for skeptical, independent analysis of mainstream media, politics, and culture. For listeners, the announcement brings both closure and new beginnings: the Dvorak family is launching a new program called Partyline at partylineshow.com, 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.
Curry also 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 listeners who want to complete their peerage. These commitments underscore the show's enduring relationship with its audience, which has supported No Agenda through 1,915 broadcasts. The final episode will air this Thursday, concluding a nearly two-decade run that reshaped how independent media is produced and consumed.
