A Fitting Farewell: No Agenda's Producer Tribute to John C. Dvorak

In the wake of John C. Dvorak's passing, the No Agenda Show delivered a heartfelt and often hilarious tribute crafted not by the hosts, but by the show's global community of producers. Episode 1889, released July 26, 2026, is a nearly three-hour audio memorial assembled from clips submitted via the PodHerd platform, offering a final journey through Dvorak's sharp wit, eclectic interests, and signature rants. Host Adam Curry opened the episode by describing the overwhelming response to Dvorak's death, noting that his name trended on X and that his inbox was flooded with emails. Curry spent eight hours compiling the tribute, saying, 'These are your choices... I'd say 80% of what you guys sent in or selected on PodHerd Clip Genie, I completely forgotten about. Somewhere around 3 o'clock, I texted Tina. I said, I got to break open a bottle. I was laughing, crying, and I think you'll do the same.' The episode weaves together classic segments spanning nearly two decades: from Dvorak's recurring 'Tip of the Day'—covering wines like 2015 Cru Beaujolais and Retsina, and foods like Youssef's hummus—to his deconstructions of Victoria Nuland's 'F the EU' Ukraine call, Ticketmaster vaccine passports, and Washington Post fact-checking. Listeners also hear Dvorak's theories on vasectomies, fractals, and the origins of shrink-wrap licenses, alongside beloved bits including 'Game, Set, Match, the Lizard People Win' and the 'stay safe' retort. Special credits go to Sir Deenonymous and Void Zero for infrastructure support, Dame Jennifer for animated segments, and Sir Chris in Australia for a closing musical tribute performed by the Grumpy Old Dames. Curry announced a two-week hiatus before the show returns, with Darren O'Neill and Larry Bleitner filling in. Listen to this Episode
