No Agenda Honors John C. Dvorak's Legacy in Tech Journalism

In a deeply personal episode of the No Agenda Show, co-host Adam Curry paid tribute to the late John C. Dvorak, reflecting on his profound influence in tech journalism. The episode, titled 'En Banc,' was recorded from a San Francisco hotel room the day after Dvorak's private memorial, which drew around 70 attendees, including Sir Mark and Dame Astrid from Tokyo, Void Zero from the Netherlands, and eulogist Marty Higgins. Curry shared his appreciation for Dvorak's unique approach: 'He wrote about how these products sucked because he felt they could be better. That really was a big part of his role in the world.'

The show, known for its media deconstruction, also tackled a range of stories. A D.C. Circuit Appeals Court 2-1 ruling blocked further construction on President Trump's $400 million White House ballroom, with the court stating that 'whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide.' The hosts compared coverage across Fox, ABC, and CBS in their signature 3x3 segment. A $567 million New Mexico judgment against Meta over child safety on Facebook and Instagram was also discussed, as was the escalating WNBA controversy after Clay Travis offered $10 million for a game pitting the Las Vegas Aces against a high school boys' team.

Additional topics included Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed's Medicaid comments, alongside reporting on his wife's Ann Arbor practice, MindWorks Psychiatry. The hosts also delved into the strange saga of British academic Jason Arday, whose book 'Great and Unfortunate Things' was set for release amid allegations of fabricated credentials. Staten Island activist Scott LoBaido was highlighted for chartering a banner plane over New York City targeting Zohran Mamdani from his hospital bed days after open-heart surgery.

The episode closed with meetup reports from ten cities, including Albany, Austin, Perth, Hamilton, Wilmington, Sonoma, Denver, Snohomish, Memphis, and Central New Jersey. No Agenda continues its tradition of offering a skeptical, independent look at media and culture, with Episode 1893 now available via No Agenda's website and podcast platforms. Listeners are encouraged to use a Podcasting 2.0 app to support the show's listener-funded model. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of Dvorak's legacy and the show's commitment to challenging mainstream narratives.
