- 1889 — Producer's Tribute to JCD$333.33
Howdy again to the Dvorak clan and Adam. I wanted to make sure I sent one last note because John always knew people are behind on the newsletters and spam monster eats emails, so you have to stretch the promos out a bit. Y'all did an amazing job with the show 1888, who would be proud of all you did to team up and get through everything. And he would have had a grin a couple of times with all the good things being said about him. No Agenda and their favorite job moments. I talked to many people after and everyone said it was like we were all at a celebration of life together with a family and feeling like we are part of that family too. But when Raven came out of Club thirty through thirty three, I knew it was going to be a great show along with some of the celebrity appearances too. Yes, we had billionaires, millionaires, paupers. It was great. After that show, I thought about a saying that Adam and I have heard a lot in our church circles that was brought out on the show a couple times after Adam came back to the church. There are no coincidences in the kingdom. After hearing the last show, I couldn't agree with it anymore. We are all here at this moment because of a huge series of events in our own journeys in our lives. Some roads were longer and windier and the number of bumps varied too, but we are here now. The tech that came out over the years that John criticized but also loved is a major part of No Agenda Nation is here. Podcasting can be attributed to the Podfather himself, Adam Curry, not to be confused with Adam Curry. A radio and music nerd who was on the internet the same time John was, but going after other dreams with websites until he asked Dave Weiner to modify RSS architecture, so large audio files could attach the web feeds and with the help of some other nerds, we now have podcasting. Adam didn't stop there, he kept going, decentralizing to protect it from censorship. Who would have thought a pirate radio kid turned nerd would help come up with podcasting, the exact medium that he would meet his best friend turned brother John C. Dvorak. The same technology that John reviewed over the years was used to record and stream all those shows all over the world. John and Adam are true podcasting superheroes for the whole world. Things happen exactly like they were supposed to make No Agenda Nation happen. There are no coincidences in the kingdom. I'm thankful Adam's work with Curry and the Keeper and with pastor Jimmy on We Get To Do This and his work to build the Godcaster app is bringing more people to the church. I'd be forever thankful to John and Adam for all these things that led to those three podcasts because they brought me back to the church and changed my life. I will never be able to say thank you enough to both of them for helping me nerd out to become a dude named Ben, learn the things and get back to the church for myself and my family. I love you all. Thank you to everyone in the No Agenda Nation who made it what it is and will always be. Getting knighted in Nashville on the Hot Pockets tour with Sir Jeff Smith and Adam is the moment I knew No Agenda was way more than just a podcast. Lastly, sorry, John, again, two long notes in a row. Psalm thirty four eighteen, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Thank you, sir Patrick.

Toronto meetup was a party of two, but it was with a former Russian merchant marine and a former U.S. Marine talking about the world and all things with some great food. ITM to all and get to a meetup.
