Crackpot – Host of The No Agenda Show
Adam’s nickname for the show is the Crackpot. That’s not just because he occasionally smokes some weed, it’s because Adam believes in his ideas and follows through on them, no matter how crazy they sound. With the radio skills that he developed during his younger years working as a Dutch radio host and an MTV VJ in the USA, all of his podcasts are professional produced while being live recorded on the internet.
Many people know Adam as the Podfather because he was the first one to publish a podcast, The Daily Source Code, on the internet after he worked with Dave Winer to create the podcast specification, which later became known as the iTunes Podcast Specification, based on RSS. The interpretation of what a podcast is has changed dramatically over the years. Back then the term podcast was only used to refer to feed-based podcasts that implemented the podcast specification, but that’s generally not the case anymore. These days a podcast is just a series of video or audio shows published anywhere on the internet. You’d think that would make Adam happy, but he actually isn’t happy with it at all. You’re holding your podcast wrong, so he started the PodcastIndex initiative to change that. Making sure people can listen to podcasts published through the open podcasting ecosystem ensures free speech can thrive on the internet, and he’s teaching people more about it in his Podcasting 2.0 podcast.
Together with Tina the Keeper, Adam lives in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, an area that reflects his beliefs in free speech and gun rights. His pronouns are him/his. Because the content Adam and his co-host John produce isn’t welcome at advertising-supported media platforms run by big corporations, they have taken a vow to poverty by running No Agenda under the value for value model. This has paid off as the show has been running for 15 years and counting.

John C. Dvorak
Buzzkill - Host of The No Agenda Show
Excuse the show's pessimistic nature, because as far as news goes, Dvorak has seen it all. With 40 years of media experience under his belt he has taken his nickname Buzzkill to heart by telling his comrades everything that's wrong with their ideas. There's a reason he hasn't found an exit strategy yet, so he happily keeps chugging along with the show until he does. Throughout his career, John C. Dvorak has worked for many media outlets, including PC Magazine, InfoWorld, TWiT and many more.
John lives in the amazing weather-free San Francisco Bay Area, where his office window overlooks the flat bays, making climate change a real and serious danger to his housing situation. His pronouns are him/his and he's married to his partner Mimi. Now tha
