A discussion of David Letterman's "Late Night" era recalled experimental episodes, such as one where the camera slowly rotated 360 degrees over an hour and another overdubbed with a Latin accent. These references served as a prelude to a special "Best Of" No Agenda episode featuring a rapid-fire compilation of show openings from the past 1,400 episodes. The compilation was described as a high-energy, "screwball" production intended for long car rides.
The hosts conclude the first part of their COVID-19 retrospective, promising a multi-hour "best of" end-of-show mix for the following episode. They remind listeners to support the show via dvorak.org/na and note that all donations will be recognized in the next regular broadcast. The segment ends with the traditional sign-off from the Texas Hill Country and Silicon Valley.

They conclude by reflecting on how the show has "cracked the nut" of independent media through the value-for-value model.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak introduce a special "Best Of" edition of the show, noting it is likely the final compilation produced by long-time contributor Ramsey Cain.

The hosts discuss the rarity of taking time off, noting they only do so a few times a year, and invite listeners to provide feedback on the "Best Of" format.
The upcoming Thursday episode will feature the final "Best Of" production by Ramsey Cain, who has moved into a new professional role. Cain's contributions have been a staple of the show's archives, and his departure marks the end of an era for these specific curated segments. Listeners are encouraged to provide feedback or pick up the production mantle for future archival releases.
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.
