Adam Curry Hosts Memorial Episode for No Agenda Co-Host John C. Dvorak

On July 23, 2026, Adam Curry released a memorial episode of the No Agenda Show dedicated to his co-host John C. Dvorak, who died on July 20, 2026, at age 80. Titled "In The Mourning," the episode marks the first time Curry hosts the show alone, opening with a call to recognize July 20 as a national holiday in Dvorak's honor. The broadcast weaves personal stories, listener remembrances, and the show's trademark format, tracing nearly 19 years of podcasting history.

Curry described Dvorak as "my friend, my business partner, my comedic counterpart, my all-time favorite broadcaster," revealing a hole in his heart "you could turn a 747 around in." He recalled their final sign-off the previous Sunday: "Okay, talk to you Thursday. Adios." The episode includes Dvorak's widow Mimi, sons Jay and JC, and longtime friends such as Will Hearst, who was best man at the Dvoraks' wedding and hired tech writer John Markoff at the San Francisco Examiner. Comedy writer Marty shared stories of bonding over Jackie Vernon and Bill Dana routines, while producer Dana Brunetti and Andrew Horowitz—Dvorak's co-host on DH Unplugged since 2007—also contributed.

Mimi Dvorak revealed that her husband died peacefully at home watching NCIS, after asking for a spoonful of Manuka honey, and confirmed the long-running age gag that Dvorak insisted Curry expose after his death. The episode revisits signature bits like the Club 33 strip club announcer routines, the "Give it up for Raven" jingle, and Dvorak's infamous rants about ants, fisting nuts, and mac and cheese. Stories ranged from a Consumer Electronics Show dinner where Dvorak ordered $8,500 in wine on investors' tabs to his younger days riding a Kawasaki Triple through Tahoe snow after a B.B. King concert.

Executive producer credits topped $5,000 from Dame Kathryn cryptogranny of Bangkok, with hundreds of listeners donating $188.88 to match the episode number. No Agenda, a long-running, listener-supported podcast known for skeptical media deconstruction and a value-for-value model, continues to be powered by producer contributions.
