After a few songs the station would break for podcast promos, news updates, and Twitter messages sent to the No Agenda Twitter account from listeners. By March 19 the stream contained computer speech integration and an auto-DJ. During the week of March 15, 2009, Curry began to experiment with running the audio stream 24/7, carrying music when No Agenda was not being recorded. Starting in early 2009, Curry began to stream the audio production of the show live, with both hosts advertising the beginning of the show via Twitter. The show was influenced by the run up to the 2008 Election, the financial crisis starting that September (the September 13th show carried breaking news of the collapse of Lehman Brothers), and the transition to the Presidency of Barack Obama. The hosts prefer not to provide a recap or explanation of a phrase or anecdote unless necessary, and Curry will often sound an alarm if Dvorak begins repeating something previously discussed. Inside jokes and references to previous topics recur with great frequency in each episode which may take time for new listeners to fully grasp. He does share many of Curry's opinions on different topics. Dvorak is even-tempered and often references his knowledge of history and his own life experiences to shed light on the topics of the day. He often discusses links between current world events and historical events, both past and present. Influences Ĭurry tends towards a more counter-cultural outlook of the world. The show received five out of five microphones in review published by Podcast Magazine. No Agenda was named to Talkers Magazine's Frontier Fifty list for 2011, a list of 'Outstanding Media Webcasters.'

The podcast does not accept advertising and is supported by the listeners to prevent conflicts of interest. Celebrity gossip and other soft news stories are brought up for ironic effect, with the one that has garnered the most attention often being named "Distraction of the week". The show discusses current news and conspiracy theories, with the hosts discussing topics in response to their belief that the mainstream media glosses over what they see as the real facts. Jingles have been introduced, and have evolved into catch phrases. The show gradually moved in the direction of news and political commentary. Topics included the news of the day, restaurant reviews, and family. The original tagline of No Agenda was that it would be the show with "no sponsors, jingles, and of course no agenda." The show's only sound effect came during the closing minute, where the jazz song On the Seventh Day by the Marriott Jazz Quintet played as the hosts signed off. The impetus for starting the show, according to Curry, was a 4-minute phone call made to Dvorak saying that they "should do a show together." Little thought was given to what the show would be about, in fact only the name was agreed upon before the first show was recorded. Its premise was that the co-founder (Curry) and then vice-president (Dvorak) of mevio (until Oct. Ī primer has been produced for newer listeners, both as an introduction and a discussion of the show. During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience in July 2021, Curry stated that No Agenda has 1–1.4 million listeners per episode. In December 2009, the show announced they had reached 450,000 listeners. Talkers Magazine featured the podcast in their "Frontier Fifty", an alphabetically sorted list containing a "Selection of Outstanding Talk Media Webcasters".
