A discussion covers the "Trompe," a 17th-century technology that uses falling water to compress air. The hosts explain how this simple system of tubes can provide a constant energy source for air-powered generators without burning fuel. They note that while hydraulics are an efficient way to store energy, modern policy seems to favor removing dams rather than utilizing them.
An upcoming giveaway for a DBX compressor/limiter is announced for the No Agenda Producer Update. The hosts discuss the specific audio hardware used in their own signal chain, specifically the DBX 266 XL model, and debate the varying prices of the unit found on the internet.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the April 16, 2009, episode from the Crackpot Command Center. They discuss the "trained voice" phenomenon in radio broadcasting, noting how industry veterans often speak with over-emphasized resonance even off-air. The hosts compare their vocal styles to other broadcasters like Leo Laporte.
