No Agenda is a podcast hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak and takes place twice a week on Thursday and Sunday mornings. The show is a conversation on recent news and media memes. The show has no advertisers, instead relying on its listeners to voluntarily donate in either lump sums or a recurring plan (referred to by the hosts as the "Value for Value" model).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Donations - No Agenda Show )〕 The show also relies on their listeners (known as "Producers") to provide artwork 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No Agenda Art Generator )〕 and audio clips. In September 2013, the show was nominated for Podcast Awards in two categories, "People's Choice" and "Politics / News".〔(2013 Winners and Nominees ), Podcast Awards〕 In December 2009 the show announced they had reached 450,000 listeners. In 2009 Talkers Magazine featured the podcast in their "Frontier Fifty", an alphabetically sorted list containing a "Selection of Outstanding Talk Media Webcasters." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.talkers.com/frontier-fifty/ )〕 A primer has been produced for newer listeners, both as an introduction and a discussion of the show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://noagendanation.com/archive/200.6 )〕 ==History== No Agenda first ''aired'' in October 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.spokenword.org/program/152092 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://noagendanation.com/archive/1 )〕 Its premise was that the co-founder (Curry) and then vice-president (Dvorak) of mevio (until Oct. 2012) would have an unfiltered dialogue. The impetus for starting the show, according to Curry, was a 4-minute phone call made to Dvorak saying that they "should do a show together." Little thought was given to what the show would be about, in fact only the name was agreed upon before the first show was recorded. The original tagline of No Agenda was that it would be the show with "no sponsors, jingles, and of course no agenda." The show's only sound effect came during the closing minute, where the jazz song ''On the Seventh Day'' by the Marriott Jazz Quintet played as the hosts signed off. Topics included the news of the day, restaurant reviews, and family. The show gradually moved in the direction of news and political commentary. Jingles have been introduced, and have evolved into catch phrases. The show discusses current news and conspiracy theories, with the hosts discussing topics in response to their belief that the mainstream media glosses over what they see as the real facts. Celebrity gossip and other soft news stories are brought up for ironic effect, with the one that has garnered the most attention often being named "Distraction of the week". Certain numbers are used repeatedly in the show: 33 is the "magic" number, "double nickels on the dime" (55.10) as the donation amount to become a "No Agenda Minuteman", $111.11 as "make it rain (dollar bills)", and $999.99 being the amount of donation to become a No Agenda "Knight". Episode #250 introduced the "Quad Niner" donation level: Whenever someone donates $99.99, Curry is obligated to bark: "niner, niner, niner, niner!"—a reference to his use of "niner" for "nine" in show openings. The podcast does not accept advertising and is supported by the listeners to prevent conflicts of interest. Through this direct listener-supported model, those that contribute amounts above a predetermined level are referred to as executive producers.〔 No Agenda was named to Talkers Magazine's Frontier Fifty list for 2011, a list of 'Outstanding Media Webcasters.'〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Agenda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
