No Agenda Meetup Reports, Global Super Spreader Events
Listeners provide audio reports from No Agenda meetups in Memphis, Boston, Myrtle Beach, and Minnesota. The reports feature "boots on the ground" producers enjoying beers and socializing.

The No Agenda Shop has released new merchandise, including a PBR-style mug, while the show's social media instance has purged 1,500 inactive accounts to make room for new registrations. Users are encouraged to explore federated social media via Mastodon instances to avoid algorithmic control. The episode's artwork, titled "The Mao Approves," was selected from the "evergreen" archives, prompting a humorous protest from artists who prefer current submissions.
The No Agenda meetup culture is thriving, with recent gatherings in Myrtle Beach, Santa Fe, and upcoming events in Boston, Toronto, and Brisbane, Australia.

The hosts emphasized the importance of original, high-quality artwork for the show's visual identity in the Podcasting 2.0 ecosystem.

Value for Value Donations and "The Corpse and The Communist"
Producer Adam Engert donated $1,000, ending his "douchebag" status and praising the show's COVID-19 counter-programming.

The donation note included requests for relationship karma and a "Roundtable" stocked with Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR).
The hosts conducted a formal knighting ceremony for Sir Richard of Burbank, Sir Gavin, and Sir Adam Ng. The new knights were welcomed to the "Round Table" with a list of requested items including Pabst Blue Ribbon and natto on rice.
