The July 16, 2026 episode of the No Agenda podcast, titled "Cytoshitosis," hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, delves into a range of significant news stories, challenging official narratives and media framing. The episode highlights a multi-state cyclosporiasis outbreak now confirmed in 34 states, with over 2,600 cases reported in Michigan alone. Curry and Dvorak discuss the outbreak's potential causes, including Curry's speculation about a link to GLP-1 medications, and Michigan Dr. Bagdasarian's lettuce theory. Taco Bell's voluntary removal of certain ingredients is also covered.
The hosts turn to the FBI's unusual search of the late Senator Lindsey Graham's Washington home. Curry pushes back against conspiracy theories surrounding Graham's death, noting a preliminary medical examiner's report cited a torn aortic artery, urging listeners to apply Occam's razor. The episode also covers the ongoing Strait of Hormuz standoff, a rain-soaked Texas Hill Country weather emergency, and the House-passed Sunshine Protection Act.
Key segments include Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing exchange with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse over Kash Patel and the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's grilling by Rep. Al Green over Trump meme coin "speculative bubbles," and Jay Clayton's Director of National Intelligence hearing with Senator Mark Kelly. The hosts also discuss OpenAI's rumored screen-free Alexa competitor, the Apple lawsuit over Jony Ive's startup, and Reflect Orbital's 50,000-satellite plan to bounce sunlight onto Earth after dark.
Atomic Rod Adams returns via email to update listeners on four new advanced nuclear reactors that came online before July 4th, including Deployable Energy, Aalo Atomics, and Valar Atomics. The episode also features a travel report from Amsterdam Schiphol where Curry's hearing aids were hijacked by low-energy Bluetooth signage designed for blind travelers. A supercut contrasting media predictions that Elon Musk would destroy Twitter with current "cesspool" framing lands as clip of the day.
Throughout the episode, Curry and Dvorak apply their signature media deconstruction approach, questioning official narratives and encouraging listeners to think critically. The episode is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
