Went back and listened to some old shows...

...and, it's been something that's been brewing in me for a while, but Adam is basically *only* a good interviewer, and not really interesting on his own.

When I started No Agenda (somewhere in the 400's I think), it was because of John - From ZDTV/TechTV, PC Magazine, then later Twit... the dude was a personality. At first I sort of just tolerated Adam to hear more John.

As time went on, I became less annoyed with Adam. I checked out some of his other podcasts. MoeFactz was great (mostly because of Moe). A few of his interviews on "With Adam Curry" were great. Curry and the Keeper was...a struggle. Tina was mildly interesting, but sometimes insufferable, and Adam was sort of a spineless wet blanket. But whatever, we still had No Agenda, so I just kept listening to that.

With Darren/Larry taking over the show, it's become kind of boring. The fake voices, the bias, the lack of real depth. It's painful to try to get through. I'm not really trying to listen to Planet Rage. 🤷‍♂️

So, I went back to listen to early No Agenda from Episode 1, it's really apparent again - Adam is just kind of a douchey MTV VJ interviewer guy. That's all he's ever really been, and his success depends on who he ends up interviewing.

Anyway, it's starting to feel like the show is dead now that John is gone. Does anyone have any recommendations to fill the gap?
