No Agenda is a podcast hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak that is recorded twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays at 11 a.m. Pacific Time.[1] The show is primarily focused on mainstream media deconstruction.

The show has no advertisers and instead subsists entirely on donations. There are no guidelines for the amount and frequency of contributions; instead, these are left to the discretion of the listener, a model called "value for value" by the show's hosts.[2] The show also relies on its listeners—dubbed "producers"—to provide artwork[3] and audio clips.

In July 2016, the show won the Podcast Award for Best Podcast in the category "News & Politics."[4] In September 2013, the show was nominated for Podcast Awards in two categories, "People's Choice" and "Politics / News".[5] Talkers Magazine featured the podcast in their "Frontier Fifty", an alphabetically sorted list containing a "Selection of Outstanding Talk Media Webcasters".[6]

In December 2009, the show announced they had reached 450,000 listeners.[7] During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience in July 2021, Curry stated that No Agenda has 1–1.4 million listeners per episode.[8]

A primer has been produced for newer listeners, both as an introduction and a discussion of the show.[9]
