The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's College of Journalism is introducing a course on "drone journalism," defined as using unmanned aircraft for reporting and data gathering. The hosts discuss the professional implications for future journalists and credit listener Daniel Wheaton for bringing the story to their attention.

A listener named Daniel Wheaton received a recruitment email from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's "Great Plains National Security Education Consortium" immediately upon his acceptance. The email encourages high-achieving freshmen to pursue careers in the 16 government intelligence agencies. The hosts express concern that universities are selling student lists to the government to recruit "moles" and spies at a young age.

The program processes a high volume of listener donations, granting "karma" to contributors such as Benjamin Salin and Harold Fudge. A special update is provided on Daniel Wheaton, a student who used No Agenda talking points to win a state extemporaneous speaking championship.

High school student Daniel Wheaton is using concepts from the program for a competitive speaking project. To assist his academic requirements, specific definitions regarding media programming and the relativity of news are stated for the record. The interaction highlights the show's influence on younger audiences and their understanding of media structures.
