No Agenda

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). The show also relies on their listeners (known as "Producers") to provide artwork and audio clips.

In September 2013, the show was nominated for Podcast Awards in two categories, "People's Choice" and "Politics / News".

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."

A primer has been produced for newer listeners, both as an introduction and a discussion of the show.

History

No Agenda first aired in October 2007. 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.

Agenda

Agenda, literally "the things that must be done" in Latin, may refer to:

Organizations

Agenda (Norwegian think tank), a Norwegian center-left-leaning think tank focused on domestic politics and international affairs.

Media

Agenda (charity)

Agenda is a UK-based charity which campaigns for women and girls at risk. The charity aims to highlight the needs of what it considers to be the most excluded women and girls: those who have experienced extensive violence, abuse, trauma, and inequality, including problems such as homelessness, incarceration, addiction, serious mental health issues, engagement in prostitution, and other forms of multiple disadvantage. The organisation has 53 members, a mix of charities working with women across the various issues Agenda seeks to address.

History

Agenda was brought together by a group of trusts, foundations and voluntary sector organisations building on work started with Baroness Corston’s 2007 report into women in the criminal justice system.

From 2008, a group of funders collaborated through the Corston Independent Funders Commission (CIFC) to improve the response to women in contact with the criminal justice system. Primarily focused on community alternatives to custody, the CIFC became interested in broadening its scope away from women already in the criminal justice system to look at a wider group of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage. In partnership with Clinks, CIFC carried out a consultation with organisations working with vulnerable women and girls in 2013.

Agenda (think tank)

Agenda is a think tank focused on both politics in Norway and international affairs, located in Oslo, Norway. Agenda started up activities in August 2014. The think tank is headed by Marte Gerhardsen, a former diplomat and director of DNB ASA and secretary general of Care Norway. Chairman of the Board is the lawyer Geir Lippestad.

Agenda's research focuses particularly on five topics: Labour economics, welfare, integration, climate change and energy, as well as foreign policy. Occacionally, it has also commented on party tactics aiming to establish a broader alliance at the left spectrum of Norwegian politics. The think tank has a stated ideological orientation towards the center-left. It partly seeks a position in opposition to the liberal think tank Civita, which is funded by the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise. Agenda is a non-partisan and non-profit entity funded jointly by the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), and by the Norwegian CEO and philanthropist Trond Mohn.
