The No Agenda Show, the listener-supported podcast hosted by Adam Curry and the late John C. Dvorak, will end its run this Thursday, Curry announced during episode 1915, titled “Off The Rails,” published October 25, 2026. The episode marked the show’s 19th anniversary and featured a roundtable with venture capitalist Jason Calacanis, film producer Dana Brunetti, financial broadcaster Andrew Horowitz, Infowars host Rob Dew, and Texas commentator Matt Long.
Curry confirmed the conclusion directly during the broadcast, 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 set for Thursday, October 29, 2026. The announcement carries significance beyond the show itself: No Agenda pioneered a value-for-value funding model and a format of skeptical media analysis that influenced a generation of independent podcasters, and its end marks the close of one of the longest-running independent broadcasts in the medium’s history.
John C. Dvorak, a longtime tech journalist and commentator, was remembered during the episode. Calacanis offered a tribute to Dvorak’s influence, 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 episode doubled as a tribute to Dvorak, who died earlier this year.
The roundtable covered a wide range of topics, including Elizabeth Holmes, Nathan Fielder’s new documentary, and the line between securities fraud and startup hype; Tesla’s flying car demo, Unitree’s kung-fu robots, and AI-generated media “slop”; immigration, national identity, housing policy, and the collapse of organized religion in Europe; and algorithm-driven news consumption and the end of appointment viewing.
The episode also previewed what will replace No Agenda in the schedule. 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 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. The show’s value-for-value model, which relied on listener donations rather than advertising, helped establish a template for independent podcasting. Episode 1915 is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
