No Agenda Episode 947, Best-of Mix Special Introduction
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak introduce Episode 947 of the No Agenda show, broadcasting while traveling through the south of France. This special episode features a curated compilation of "end-of-show mixes" produced by the show's listeners and mixologists since late 2014. The hosts discuss the evolution of these audio montages, which transitioned from short jingles to long-form techno and spoken-word mashups featuring political figures and celebrities.

00:00 Adam Curry, John C. DeVora And Sunday July 16th 2017 this is your award winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 9 or 4 7 This is no agenda The best our producers have to offer and broadcasting almost live from the darkest corners of the internet at the capital of Gitmo nation douchebag Sam Trope In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where I have these devices I'm John C. Dvorak. Yes, in the morning to you sir love the screaming goat nothing like it nothing like some lamb some goat and your best podcast in the universe almost live for this yes we're doing it you're gonna be in a situation where you're not gonna get on this is what I can do with the show so we're doing this yeah which is
00:55 Apparently, dynamite. Yeah so first of all I mean we've gone through some troubles this trip but uh...I knew for sure that the south of France was going to be problematic mainly because it's the end of our vacation and we'll probably be drunk Well might as well You know me one beer woooo! Partay! We're off to the races Yeah, this is one of those rare occasions where we have a best-of show but unlike previous episodes which have usually been carefully and lovingly put together by Sir Ramsey Cain This show is something we haven't done yet. And no apparently you've got enough material for two shows I could do two three hour shows
01:42 Easily now that would include almost all of the end-of-show mixes that we've had since we started doing them And I you know to be honest. I don't even know when we started really doing those I remember when we first started, we used to do that. We're going to play something at the end and then we both decided that wasn't gonna work because we wanted a comment on him right? You know, we have remembered that day was about a year for almost at least six months were doing these end of show little like diddy cuts. Yeah, ditties or actually they were long It was like stuff that you didn't want to put in the show as a kind of bonus material thing. Somewhere along the line, yeah and then you decided it was right I agreed that this was not working because we wanted some of this stuff is so interesting we needed some discussion but if we were to end at the show so that wasn't going to happen. And then... Go ahead! I don't know when it began when he started doing this? I do, I do, I do. Um..it really started around March-April 2015
02:42 Then it although we had you know jingles and little things. It was the Obama no, no No, if that's when I was before that that was but that was 2015 I think it was way be I think were in the 2014 now We have to go listen to some old shows and see if I can isolate when it actually no You're right here for example We were way on our way by the time the no-no note there. I just kick well, I have October 4th 2014 And that's the story so these were short but then they got longer
03:24 And because some of mixologist these guy well mixologists the bartender But these mixed guys came in with their longer pieces which really were designed for the end of this show They weren't designed to he said there originally that these things were designed for in-show use. Yeah, well ggx2 who kind of semi-retired from time to time. He comes back and does something, I think some things changed in his life where just he didn't have the time but you remember GX2? He would have a mix almost every week and they were really techno and there were high energy... You used them at the beginning of the show before the show started Yes exactly! The beginning of the show but then i think some of them were so good that we put him at the end of the show maybe thats kinda.. Maybe it was GX2 who kicked alot of that off
04:07 I know we lost the history anyway. But I have them all in a bin. There's other things in there, which is why they can't exactly pinpoint when we started doing that. But I haven't been on the on the production machine and it's I mean, it was so mind boggling to pick these things up. And I tried to... At first I was like, ah, I want to do them really mix and match but I did some of that but really did in chronological order to some degree which- So what we're going to hear is the end of show stuff compiled? Yes. Don't think you've made clear yet Not just compiled but also expertly mixed by myself
04:49 Yeah, you actually did the work. Well no no but I yeah i didn't put it together but I well it was a long enough to say they were just all short and this reminds me when I did that the clips of you know just clips of clips thats right and I did like two hours worth in there all shortened out that it was nuts it took me a year Yeah, this didn't take me... well you had to find them and cut them down. I had this big bin and just mixing and matching multi-tracks put one in there then use little vignettes drop them in between two it was a lot of fun to do the thing that I think mentioned couple weeks ago is because it contains
05:34 voices of politicians and celebrities, and you know there's everything from Hillary to Whoopi to- You name it. It's very very trippy And I've tested a few of these out in the pre-stream. I played some little bits of this... By tested, does that include some extracurricular smoking? No! I tested them on the audience. Oh you did? Okay that's different. No no no this was created completely without any influence of anything This was just totally vibing on the music So um..I'm gonna put as many... I was thinking how do i credit all these people
06:13 Later on I did a much better job of when someone sent me something, I'd put their name in the title. A lot of people forget to do that they don't do any tags they just have a title so i started getting into the habit of putting in the producer Since I'm sure I've missed many my thinking was maybe This will go up on the no agenda player, no agenda player.com which is a phenomenal resource if you've never seen it before every program every episode is uploaded that we do and people going in and there's already someone's annotating upfront and then you can go in and add more annotations It would be great If people check it out and help us annotate so everybody can get the credit that they deserve Okay
06:59 You're underwhelmed. Well, I think we should get this party started. Right? Ooh! Yes Mr DJ Indeed without further ado We will come back to talk a little bit halfway And to remind you of the importance of our program and how you can help until then I present-we present For you the multitude of No Agenda mixing producers that we don't have a title for John What are we gonna call this what do we call on this show? The mix In The Mix Oh, I like that. In the mix of take off on in the morning That's right Here it is everybody In The Mix...
