No Agenda Signs Off: Adam Curry Confirms Show Ends After 19 Years

On the 19th anniversary episode of No Agenda, Adam Curry confirms the show's final episode will air Thursday following the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak. Guests Jason Calacanis, Dana Brunetti, Andrew Horowitz, Rob Dew and Matt Long join an off-the-rails anniversary send-off.


Fredericksburg, TX (Newsworthy.ai) Monday Oct 26, 2026 @ 8:45 AM CDT

Episode 1915 of the No Agenda Show, titled "Off The Rails," hosted by Adam Curry with a rotating cast of guest co-hosts, marks the 19th anniversary of the long-running media deconstruction podcast and delivers a significant announcement: the program will end its run this Thursday. Published October 25, 2026 from the Texas Hill Country, the episode doubles as a tribute to the late John C. Dvorak and a candid conversation about what comes next for Curry, the Dvorak family, and the No Agenda audience that has supported the show through 1,915 broadcasts.

The anniversary roundtable gathers an unusually large guest list, with Curry joined in sequence by venture capitalist Jason Calacanis, film producer Dana Brunetti, financial broadcaster Andrew Horowitz, Infowars host Rob Dew, and Texas commentator Matt Long. Topics covered include:

“Thursday will be the last, not just my last episode, but it will be the last episode of No Agenda. I've been in long discussions, some degree negotiations with the Dvorak family, and we have all collectively agreed that the show is not the show without John and Adam.”

  • 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
  • Algorithm-driven news consumption and the end of appointment viewing

Curry confirms the show's conclusion 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 tells the roundtable, explaining that he reached an agreement with the Dvorak family that "the show is not the show without John and Adam." Calacanis offers a tribute to Dvorak's influence on tech journalism, recalling running home from school to read JCD's PC Magazine column and crediting him with setting a standard "many generations of tech writers and commentators were inspired by."

The episode also previews 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 confirms 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the final episode of No Agenda, and why is the show ending?
The final episode airs Thursday, October 29, 2026, with Andrew Horowitz joining Adam Curry for a proper media deconstruction send-off. Curry explained during the anniversary broadcast that he reached an agreement with the Dvorak family that the show simply isn't the show without both Adam and John. Neither family had the means to buy the other out of the 50/50 LLC, and continuing with a replacement co-host wasn't viable.
What is replacing No Agenda, and will the community infrastructure survive?
The Dvorak family is launching a new program called Partyline at partylineshow.com. Curry will continue We Get To Do This with Pastor Jimmy and is resurrecting Curry and the Keeper with his wife Tina. The troll room and livestream, maintained by Void Zero, are expected to remain operational, and meetups like the Fredericksburg gatherings are likely to continue independently.
Will outstanding knighthoods, rings, and JCD Challenge Coins still be honored?
Yes. Curry confirmed that producer rings, knighthood ceremonies, and JCD Challenge Coins will continue to go out for as long as producers want them. Donations are still being accepted at noagendadonations.com to complete peerage status, and recipients should submit their addresses through the form at noagendarrings.com rather than emailing to make it easier on Jay in the back office.
Who is Jason Calacanis and what was his connection to John C. Dvorak?
Calacanis is a venture capitalist, early Uber investor, and host of the All In podcast. He told the story of running home as a kid to read JCD's PC Magazine column, calling Dvorak an inspiration who set a standard for tech writers and opinion columnists. He also appeared on Dvorak's Silicon Spin and credited John with influencing generations of tech commentators.
What did Calacanis say about Elizabeth Holmes and the Nathan Fielder documentary?
Calacanis distinguished between stage hyperbole, which founders can get away with, and lying to investors while selling securities, which is securities fraud. He argued Holmes crossed that line, which is why she went to prison. He called Fielder's documentary a top-three doc of all time alongside Grizzly Man and Hoop Dreams, though he said Holmes's claims about doing 140 tests on one machine remain roughly a decade away from reality.
Why did Curry call episode 1915 "Off The Rails"?
The anniversary broadcast was supposed to be a focused celebration, but it quickly became a chaotic roundtable with five guests calling in from a diesel truck, an LAX airport bathroom near an all-gender stall, a bedroom, a car, and an office. Calacanis dubbed it the "All In podcast for losers," and Curry tweeted "train wreck" live during the show, embracing the mess as a fitting penultimate episode.
