“When John died, honestly, so did the show as we know it. I mean, the show is yes, it's media deconstruction, but listening to a show like No Agenda requires two people who have a relationship.”
Episode 1912 of the No Agenda Show, titled 'Chaos Dynamic' and published October 15, 2026, delivers one of the most consequential announcements in the program's history. Host Adam Curry, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country with guest co-host Matt Long of the Matt Long Show on Hill Country Patriot FM, confirms that his final episode will air October 29, concluding a 19-year run of twice-weekly media deconstruction. The news follows the death of longtime co-host John C. Dvorak and marks a definitive turning point for the listener-supported podcast Curry and Dvorak launched in 2007.
Across more than three hours, Curry and Long weave the farewell narrative through the week's news cycle. Topic threads include:

- James Talarico's Texas Senate town hall, his flu absence, and his comments on abortion and scripture
- The 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
- An AI-linked cyberattack that spoiled food at roughly 150 Intermarché, Carrefour, and Monoprix stores
Curry frames 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 explains the toll of the show's cynical format on his evolving worldview.
When John died, honestly, so did the show as we know it. Listening to a show like No Agenda requires two people who have a relationship. Our relationship was entirely unique.
He adds that he had been preparing to raise a transition with Dvorak before the double bypass surgery that ultimately preceded his co-host's death.
Curry details 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 credits 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, provides on-air support, discussing his Benjamin Franklin reenactments, the Muse AI assistant, and a tip-of-the-day on acetone as a universal cleaner.

- What happened with Ukraine's Starshield system in the episode?
- Ukraine's military-grade Starshield terminals began throttling during missions, with speeds capped at 100 miles per hour, disrupting drone operations. Elon Musk posted on X that any limits on speed or usage are decided by the U.S. military and ultimately POTUS. Zelensky called it potentially a 'technical glitch' while warning the decision would cost lives.
- What did the Wall Street Journal report about Ken Paxton?
- The Journal reported that Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton partied on a Dubai high-rise balcony on New Year's Eve 2024 with two U.S. fugitives indicted on federal healthcare fraud charges, alongside a woman who was not his wife. His wife, State Senator Angela Paxton, publicly filed for divorce on biblical grounds last July.
- What was the AI-linked cyberattack on French supermarkets?
- Hackers exploited a vulnerability in Danfoss refrigeration thermostats to crank temperatures as high as 50°C (122°F) at roughly 150 Intermarché stores, with Carrefour and Monoprix also affected, spoiling food and triggering fires. Intermarché's CEO said the attack will likely cost millions of euros, and similar incidents were reported in Spain, Portugal, and Germany.
- What is Curry's tip for preserving an AI assistant's personalization?
- Curry recommends downloading all markdown (.md) files from your Muse AI assistant, including the 'soul.md' file that defines its character. These files can be loaded into any future robot to recreate your personalized assistant, freeing users from dependence on a single provider and preserving the profile locally on your own devices.
