       No Agenda is falling apart - I have no idea how Adam thinks the show continues with him not there on Sundays.  Darren trying to pilot the show using the same jingles and catch phrases is just a setup for failure.

       @DrChris It feels insincere despite their best efforts.  I appreciate what they're trying to do but it's not the same No Agenda without Adam and Dvorak.My two cents: I think the best thing Adam could have done is probably give the show a much-needed two week hiatus and then come back with Adam hosting and then cycle through people to see who fits bill for cohost that can service to keep Adam in check the way John did.

       @Dan_Ramos @DrChris kill the show and show respect for the dead.

       @Dan_Ramos Yes, as Adam pointed out, him hosting will always have a power dynamic with whoever else is on with him and it's MORE than palpable with Darren and Larry.  They's also not media trained in the way Adam is and John was.Adam controlled the rhythm of the show and if the show is to exists, he has to be the one leading it. When he's been on, Darren and Larry don't know when to jump in. I don't know why anyone would contribute V4V to the current show.

       @Dan_Ramos @DrChris once Adam got heavy into the Church, Pastor Jimmy has been his thing.  Pastor Jimmy found a member of his congregation who could assist in spreading the good word way beyond the pulpit. Since finding the church and Podcasting 2.0, No Agenda has been slipping.  I think this was ultimately Adam’s exit strategy but he would never admit it.

       @DrChris I dunno.  It could work eventually but they have to figure things out as they go along. It might need time, much like how the original show started out before it found its rhythm.I'm more optimistic about it but it's rough right now.

       It took about 200 episodes for No Agenda to round into form and get the dynamic between AC and JCD solid. Took @Pheonix and I about that many Lotus episodes to achieve the same.There’s no replacing JCD and the ramp-up time for a suitable replacement is likely to be significant. Personally, I don’t see how the show survives. @Dan_Ramos @DrChris

       @phoneboy @DrChris @Pheonix It seemed to me like the agenda was always value for value.  A big part of the value is gone with John passing away but there's still value there if they keep working to hone in on providing it to the people who are or might be willing to give value back (time, talent, treasure,etc.).  I could be wrong but it feels like they're not using the time and talent from the producers as much as we're used to.  They probably need to get into the swing of that as a habit.

       @Dan_Ramos @phoneboy @Pheonix Darren and Larry is just two guys opining on clips of the week (to date).NA has always had long arcs of discussing topics that evolve over weeks and months and JCD and Adam's background also drew in a portion of the crowd that was tech focused.  Darren and Larry have nothing to offer in that area and the allure of listening to guys we had long exposure to over decades is gone.
