Slave T-Shirts, First-Time Donors, Evergreen Audio Clips
A host recounts a social misunderstanding involving a "slave" t-shirt with a barcode, which was misinterpreted as a racial statement rather than a critique of the system. The segment concludes with a wave of first-time donations and the introduction of "evergreen" audio clips, such as Senator John McCain yelling at protesters, intended for future use in the show.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak take a break to thank donors and promote the "Slave T-shirt" available at No Agenda Nation. They discuss the effort required to produce the clip show and encourage listeners to provide feedback via donations.
North Korean University Orders No Agenda Slave T-Shirts
A university in North Korea reportedly placed an order for No Agenda "Slave" t-shirts. Due to State Department restrictions, the shirts are being shipped as "humanitarian aid" labeled as chest warmers. The hosts encourage the North Korean students to take photos in the shirts in front of statues of Kim Jong-il while wearing sunglasses for anonymity.
No Agenda Executive Producers, Slave T-Shirt Board Meeting
Executive producers Dean Bertram and Joanne Thompson are recognized for their significant financial contributions to the program. One of the hosts recounts wearing a "Slave" t-shirt featuring a barcode to a formal board meeting at Mevio in San Francisco and during an appearance on Molly Wood's CNET show, Buzz Out Loud. The anecdote highlights the lack of reaction from corporate executives to the provocative attire.
The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" funding model, urging regular listeners to contribute the cost of a movie ticket to keep the show running. Resources like NoAgendaNation.com and the show's archives are promoted as tools for new listeners to understand the program's history. New merchandise is highlighted, specifically the "Slave" T-shirt featuring a barcode, available through the community-run store.
