“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.”
On October 29, 2026, Adam Curry brought the curtain down on one of podcasting's longest-running independent productions with Episode 1916, titled 'The Final Episode' of the No Agenda Show. Broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and joined by DH Unplugged co-host Andrew Horowitz, Curry closed out 19 years of twice-weekly media deconstruction built with the late John C. Dvorak, who passed away earlier in the year. The 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 work through a lengthy spreadsheet of producer notes, intersperse 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), play a 'Guess the Show' segment featuring the 2006 debut of Dvorak's Cranky Geeks, and revisit a DH Unplugged clip in which Dvorak compares the stage presence of Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison. The hosts also outline what comes next.

“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.”
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why did Adam Curry decide to end the No Agenda Show after 19 years?
- Curry made clear that the show could not continue in the same spirit after the death of co-host John C. Dvorak earlier in the year. He described this as the longest job of his life and said he has always left jobs at the right moment, framing his new focus on Christian podcasting as his long-joked-about 'exit strategy.' As he put it, 'Jesus is my exit strategy.'
- What happens to the No Agenda infrastructure and community after Episode 1916?
- Curry confirmed noagendashow.net stays online and the live stream migrates to Void Zero Community Radio at voidzero.stream, which also hosts the troll room IRC chat. Noagendameetups.com is expected to continue under Sir Daniel, and Sir Brian launched meetupreports.com for uploading meetup reports, so the global producer community can keep gathering independently of the show.
- What new or continuing shows should No Agenda listeners follow?
- The Dvorak family is launching Party Line at partylineshow.com, Andrew Horowitz continues DH Unplugged with Jay Dvorak's son JS Dvorak, and Curry is expanding 'We Get to Do This' with Pastor Jimmy to Mondays and Thursdays starting in November. Curry is also reviving 'Curry and the Keeper' with his wife Tina and has a memoir due by the end of November.
- Who is Andrew Horowitz and why did he co-host the finale?
- Horowitz co-hosted DH Unplugged with John C. Dvorak for 18 years, nearly as long as No Agenda itself. Curry invited him because of that parallel working relationship with Dvorak, noting Horowitz had a similar hands-off dynamic in which he prepped the show and Dvorak simply showed up ready to riff, often across several different phone numbers.
- How did the finale honor the show's listener-producers?
- Nearly the entire episode is devoted to reading donation notes, knighting producers, and playing ten listener-submitted end-of-show mixes from contributors including Leo Lapuke, Agent Orange, Secret Agent Paul, Baron Darren, Melody, Bill Mounteney and Joss Baker. Curry emphasized that No Agenda had 'more producers than any newsroom' and said today's episode was 'entirely to thank the producers.'
- What memorable archival moments did Curry and Horowitz revisit during the finale?
- Horowitz played a 'Guess the Show' clip revealing the March 16, 2006 debut of Dvorak's Cranky Geeks, a DH Unplugged Episode 100 segment where Dvorak compared Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison as presenters, and Dvorak's final characteristically terse sign-off from DH Unplugged on July 14, 2026: 'All right, until next week, you have a happy and healthy. See ya. Bye-bye.'
