Topic: Episode 200 5

The hosts introduce a special "onion" format episode that stacks previous introductory shows (200.5 and 200.7) to provide a historical overview for new listeners. They acknowledge that while the show has elements of performance art, its primary goal is to explain the various memes and the "In the Morning" catchphrase. They reflect on how their understanding of the show's own history is often as vague as the listeners'.

The hosts announce a special "onion" show for the upcoming Thursday, designated as Episode 200.8. This episode will feature multiple layers of audio from previous historical episodes (200.5, 200.6, and 200.7) to explain the origins and inside jokes of the No Agenda program. The show is intended as a resource for "slow-witted" new listeners who struggle to understand the podcast's unique format and jingles.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak celebrate the 200th episode of the No Agenda show from their respective locations in Southern California and Silicon Valley. Dvorak discusses his new studio setup involving gear from the UK, though he notes he is still recording on a Macintosh due to a lack of a hardware recorder. The hosts announce a special "backstage" episode 200.5 for donors.

The show concludes with a local news clip about San Francisco police opening fire on a lost deer in the name of public safety. The hosts give final reminders about the closing of the "Deuce Club" donor drive and sign off from their 200th episode, promising a return on Thursday.

The hosts sign off, thanking "Nerdy Dude" for the technical assist and promoting episode 200. The show concludes with an extended audio clip from an Australian documentary about labiaplasty. The clip features interviews with plastic surgeons, graphic designers, and the Australian Classification Board regarding the impact of media censorship on women's body image.

Plans for the 200th episode celebration are discussed, including a special "Deuce Club" broadcast for donors. The show's financial health is reviewed, with a projection that monthly sustaining donations could fully fund operations by 2018. Gratitude is expressed to the sysadmins who maintain the live stream and server infrastructure.

The hosts promote the "Deuce Club," a special membership for the upcoming 200th episode. They promise to deconstruct their own marketing tactics, direct mail strategies, and the history of the show in a private episode for donors.
