The hosts read the names of Associate Executive Producers and $50 donors, including a special mention of a librarian who sent an original 35-year-old poster of Adam Curry. A somber note is shared regarding the passing of listeners Ben and Jess Stone in a car accident. The segment concludes with birthday wishes and a reminder of the show's donation platforms.

Adam Curry recounts a successful "flash meetup" in Berkeley, California, attended by nearly 40 people. He notes the presence of several librarians and reminisces about his time as a "poster boy" for the American Library Association.

A listener email from "Mike C." complains about the piercing volume of the harmonica during the show, particularly for those using earbuds. This leads to a broader discussion about the hosts' "magical formula" of collaboration and Dvorak's occasionally dismissive attitude toward Curry. Curry recounts meeting two law librarians in Austin who praised the show's legal analysis and the hosts' unique partnership.

The hosts discuss the long-term value of the "No Agenda" show notes, suggesting they serve as a historical resource that should be archived in the Library of Congress. They joke about the stereotypical image of librarians and the process of "Library Science" required to preserve digital media collections.
