Adam Curry, co-host of the listener-supported No Agenda podcast, announced that his final episode will air on October 29, ending a 19-year run of twice-weekly media deconstruction. The announcement came during episode 1912, titled 'Chaos Dynamic', published on October 15, 2026, with guest co-host Matt Long of the Matt Long Show on Hill Country Patriot FM. The news follows the death of longtime co-host John C. Dvorak, marking a definitive turning point for the program Curry and Dvorak launched in 2007.
Curry framed his exit as a spiritual rather than professional decision, rooted in his conversion three and a half years ago. Speaking directly to the audience, he explained the toll of the show's cynical format on his evolving worldview. "When John died, honestly, so did the show as we know it," Curry said. "Listening to a show like No Agenda requires two people who have a relationship. Our relationship was entirely unique." He added that he had been preparing to raise a transition with Dvorak before the double bypass surgery that ultimately preceded his co-host's death.
The implications of Curry's departure extend beyond the loss of a popular podcast. No Agenda has been a fixture in independent media, known for its sharp commentary, humor, and value-for-value model. Its end signals the closing of a chapter in listener-supported broadcasting that questioned how stories are framed, amplified, or ignored. Curry's decision also highlights the personal cost of sustaining a critical, often cynical, perspective on mainstream media and politics.
During the more than three-hour episode, Curry and Long wove the farewell narrative through the week's news cycle. Topic threads included James Talarico's Texas Senate town hall, his flu absence, and his comments on abortion and scripture; a Wall Street Journal report on Ken Paxton's New Year's Eve 2024 Dubai trip; Starshield connectivity throttling in Ukraine and Elon Musk's response on X; Greta Thunberg's reappearance at French student protests amid Macron's budget fight; and an AI-linked cyberattack that spoiled food at roughly 150 Intermarché, Carrefour, and Monoprix stores.
Curry detailed the ventures that will absorb his focus after October 29, including Godcaster, a platform that turns churches into hyper-local radio stations and now supports more than 300 Christian stations, along with the We Get to Do This podcast co-hosted with Pastor Jimmy and a forthcoming book. He credited producer Chuck Lorre's observations about sitcom family dynamics as a lens for understanding what made the Curry-Dvorak partnership irreplaceable. Long, who hosts the Fredericksburg No Agenda meetups at J6er Jenny's Bar 1776 with his wife Gail, provided on-air support, discussing his Benjamin Franklin reenactments, the Muse AI assistant, and a tip-of-the-day on acetone as a universal cleaner.
The final episode on October 29 will conclude a run that began in 2007 and produced more than 1,900 episodes. For a show built on the relationship between its two hosts, the end was inevitable once that partnership was broken. Curry's announcement makes clear that No Agenda, as listeners have known it, will not continue in its current form, and his future efforts will pivot toward faith-based and family-oriented projects.
