Topic: Homebrew

A shipment of homebrewed beer from the No Agenda Brewers Guild arrived at Adam Curry's residence, though several bottles broke in transit. Despite the leak, the USPS delivered the package in a plastic bag. The donor, Sir Chris, requested karma after a "spatchcock" chicken incident coincided with a recent podcast episode.

The hosts discuss the artwork for Episode 800 by Hassan Maynard and address listener complaints about the selection. They also promote "Rat Radio" by NickTheRat, describing it as a "trippy" mix of lounge and techno music. A listener note from Gary compares the No Agenda show to other podcasts like The Survival Podcast and Freedom Feens, ultimately deciding that the value and production of No Agenda are difficult to compete with in the current landscape.

The show introduces a new URL for the live stream and thanks artist 20 Watt Bulb for the episode artwork. Executive Producer Jim Lavin is recognized for his $750 donation following a successful book deal. Lavin is knighted as "Sir Otaku of the Wooden Mash Paddle" and offers homebrew and barbecue to the hosts.

The status of the No Agenda homebrew competition is addressed, with the hosts noting the difficulty of shipping and the inconsistent quality of submissions. A listener's comment about "peeing in the shower" leads to a brief discussion on water conservation and hygiene. The hosts also request that donors keep their messages concise to help manage the length of the donation segments.

Sir Bean and other listeners sent "420-themed" donations in reference to the recent marijuana legalization news. The hosts addressed the "Read No Agenda" fanscription site, noting it has fallen behind and may be removed from the official show notes.
