No Agenda Nation is in mourning following the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, and the show's producer community has assembled a nearly three-hour tribute featuring his most memorable moments. Episode 1889, titled "Producer's Tribute to JCD," released July 26, 2026, and hosted by Adam Curry, is a listener-curated audio memorial drawn from clips submitted through the PodHerd platform. The tribute spans Dvorak's signature segments, including the "John C. Dvorak Tip of the Day," his deconstructions of political events such as Victoria Nuland's "F the EU" Ukraine call, and his theories on topics from vasectomies to fractals.
Curry opens the episode by describing the outpouring since Dvorak's death, noting that his name trended on X and that emails have overwhelmed his inbox. He recalls spending eight hours assembling the tribute: "I spent about 8 hours yesterday putting this show together and it was amazing. 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 features Dvorak riffing on everything from Algerian Saharan crude oil to gasifier trucks, from Beaujolais vintages to Michael Clayton, and from Ban Ki-moon to Amy Klobuchar's dropped consonants.
Producers contributed clips of Dvorak calling out ProPublica's Lydia DePillis, dissecting the 2,000 ex-DOJ letter, mocking the Washington Post's 16,241-item lie database, and predicting Ticketmaster would never implement vaccine passports. Special credit goes 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 announces a two-week hiatus before returning, with Darren O'Neill and Larry Bleitner filling in. The show, known for its sharp media deconstruction, humor, and value-for-value model, remains one of podcasting's most influential independent productions. Episode 1889 is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
