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 a twice-weekly media deconstruction built with the late John C. Dvorak, who passed away earlier in the year. The finale, Episode 1916, titled 'The Final Episode', is 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 functions 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 compares 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.'
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.' Executive producers for the finale include Sir Pursuit of Peace and Tranquility, Mackenzie J. Sillito, Dame Momacon, R.S. Bagwell and Sir Aaron. 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.
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, applying skeptical, independent media deconstruction to politics, culture, technology and the daily news cycle. Its value-for-value funding model, powered by a global network of producers, demonstrated that listener-supported media could thrive for nearly two decades without traditional advertising. For the podcasting industry, the finale underscores the durability of direct audience support and the influence of early independent voices. For listeners, the show's conclusion closes a chapter of media criticism that shaped a generation of podcasters and informed audiences seeking alternatives to corporate news. As Curry moves on to new projects and the Dvorak family launches Party Line, the legacy of No Agenda continues through its community and the medium it helped define.
