Donor Thank Yous, Trump Jobs Karma and Value for Value
Producers Mark Wilson and Glenn Gbukowski are thanked for their contributions. Glenn Gbukowski specifically requested "Trump Jobs Karma," a variation of the show's traditional jobs blessing. The hosts reiterate the "value for value" model that has sustained the podcast for over 1,100 episodes without traditional advertising or de-platforming.
New donor William Geiger from Austin and returning producer Sir Mark Wilson from Glasgow are recognized. Wilson, who recently moved to London for a new job, requests "flat-finding karma" due to the difficult housing market in the city. The hosts provide the requested karma and thank them for their contributions.
Executive Producer Credits and New York Karma
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak thank their executive producers, starting with Sir Mark Wilson of Glasgow, who comments on the Scottish independence referendum. A donor from New York City, Miguel Espinal, requests karma and describes his efforts to spread the show via flash drives at train stations. The hosts provide "extra thick layers of karma" to listeners supporting the program.
Executive Producer Donations, Grand Duke David Foley and School Funding
A series of high-value donations from Executive Producers is acknowledged, including contributions from David Foley, Mark Wilson, and Dallas Spongberg.

The hosts acknowledge financial support from the "No Agenda" producers under the value-for-value model. Mark Wilson from Glasgow is recognized as an Executive Producer for a $600 donation. An anonymous donor from Kew Gardens, New York, is also thanked for a $200 contribution, receiving "job karma" in return.
Knighting of Sir Mark Wilson, South by Southwest
Mark Wilson is officially knighted as "Sir Mark" for his $600 donation. Adam Curry announces his upcoming session at South by Southwest (SXSW) titled "Value for Value: Just Getting By in New Media." The hosts discuss the economics of public speaking, comparing their potential fees to the high-priced "bundled" speeches of Bill Clinton.
Stolen Car Karma and Associate Executive Producers
Jason Baker, a founding producer of the No Agenda stream, requests karma after his wife's car was stolen from their garage. Another listener, Mark Wilson, writes in to correct a clerical error where he was credited twice as an Associate Executive Producer.
