Topic: Cable Cutting

Dame Patricia of Biscayne Bay shares her experience cutting her cable subscription to rely solely on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and the No Agenda show. The hosts pivot to a discussion of the Austin roller derby scene, mentioning local teams like the "Putas del Fuego" and "Rhinestone Cowgirls." They emphasize how listener support allows them to provide value without corporate interference.

The discussion covers Emmy wins for Lena Waithe and Aziz Ansari, framing them within the context of Hollywood's diversity narratives. The hosts argue that massive spending by Netflix and Amazon is creating a bubble that undermines traditional network television. They predict a future "crumbling" of the current high-budget streaming model as licensing fees and debt accumulate.

The Kraut Brothers, Paul and Howie, donate to the show and are granted the title "Baron of Babylon 5." Another donor, Wesley Clark, describes his decision to cancel his expensive cable television subscription—which he calls the "coax cable of crap"—to redirect those funds toward the No Agenda show.

The hosts read a series of donations from listeners in the Netherlands, Minnesota, London, and Calgary. One donor highlights that his contribution comes from money saved by canceling his cable subscription. The discussion touches on the viability of alternative media and the "redistribution of wealth" from giant media corporations to independent podcasts.
