Analytics for the No Agenda show revealed a single persistent listener still using a Microsoft Zune to access the podcast. The hosts discussed the technical curiosity of legacy devices and reaffirmed their commitment to the "Value for Value" funding model over traditional advertising.

Donors share personal histories, including one who discovered the show on Microsoft Zune forums in 2008. Another producer from Richmond Hill, Ontario, shares his experience living through the "socialism fairy tale" in the former USSR before moving to Canada.

Bjorn Sandarklevin from Norway discusses his transition to an "off-the-grid" lifestyle by using a secondary SIM card (TwinSim) in an old Nokia phone. He advocates for owning physical music and devices like the Zune rather than relying on streaming services, while also requesting health karma for his parents.

The No Agenda show now has dedicated apps for iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry. Adam Curry notes that the "Pocket No Agenda" app was featured on the iTunes "What's Hot" list. However, he expresses concern that the developer, Adam Burke, has not yet shared a portion of the proceeds as previously discussed.

Microsoft's 30GB Zune MP3 players were "bricked" on December 31st due to a programming error related to the leap second. The US Navy began implementing leap seconds in 1972 to sync solar time with atomic time. The hosts express frustration with artificial time adjustments, including daylight savings time, questioning their actual energy efficiency.
