Topic: Postmodern Media

The hosts describe No Agenda as "postmodern media," operating without a traditional studio or gatekeepers. They compare their value-for-value model to artist Vonda Shepard, who used crowdfunding to produce her new CD. They emphasize that while the model is "hobbling," it allows for creative independence.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open episode 427 of the No Agenda show on July 19, 2012. Dvorak introduces the concept of the "post-postmodernist" era to describe the current state of media and their podcast. The hosts discuss Dvorak's new Skype avatar, which Curry describes as resembling a Russian babushka hat with a "glory hole" for a mouth.
