Show ideas from chat GPT
I have returned to no agenda after a few years hiatus.
I was thinking about how to increase reach of the show and naturally asked my digital overlord, chat gpt the following prompt and the result was pretty fun:
Prompt:
“How could the podcast No Agenda use ai to bring their media deconstruction message to the people of the world and help them decouple from the mass hypnosis of the current media landscape?”
Response:
The No Agenda podcast, hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, has long been a sharp, irreverent critique of media narratives. If they wanted to scale their media deconstruction mission globally using AI, there are several high-impact, on-brand ways to do it—without sacrificing their style or values. Below are tactical and strategic suggestions aligned with their ethos:
🧠 1.
AI-Powered Media Deconstruction Engine
Create an open-source tool that mimics their media deconstruction process using:
Large Language Models fine-tuned to No Agenda’s style of deconstructing mainstream narratives.
Integrate Named Entity Recognition, Sentiment Analysis, and Framing Analysis to break down:
Who is pushing the story?
What’s omitted or emphasized?
How emotional language shapes perception?
Output: “No Agenda-style” reports that anyone can generate for any news article or broadcast.
🌐 2.
“Decouple Daily” AI Digest
Launch a daily AI-generated briefing in the No Agenda voice:
Pull top stories from global media.
Automatically generate side-by-side “official narrative” vs. “NA-style deconstruction.”
Include links to source audio/video clips, ideally with Adam’s “jingles” auto-inserted for humor.
Distribute it in multiple languages with LLM-driven translation.
🧠 3.
AI Clone of Adam & John (Light Touch, Satirical)
Train AI voice clones to do:
Short TikTok/Instagram Reels explaining media tricks (e.g., “Why they say ‘debunked’ without evidence”).
Let listeners submit news clips; AI Adam/John “respond” in real time.
Important: Keep it satirical and obviously synthetic to avoid uncanny valley or impersonation concerns.
🗣️ 4.
“Trigger Tracker” AI Extension
A browser extension that:
Flags trigger words in online articles (“baseless,” “experts say,” “debunked,” “conspiracy theorists believe”).
Provides on-hover NA-style context or redirects to past No Agenda episodes that covered similar framing.
Could also link to a “Propaganda Bingo Card” that fills in automatically as users read.
🧰 5.
AI-Powered Archive Navigator
No Agenda has decades of show content. Use AI to:
Transcribe, summarize, and tag past episodes.
Let users search: “When did they talk about Event 201?” or “Show me every deconstruction of the term ‘vaccine hesitancy.’”
Could be built into a chatbot: “Ask the NA Archives.”
🌍 6.
Localized “No Agenda” Deconstruction Squads
Use AI to build a template toolkit for fans in other countries:
Create mini-podcast kits with local media inputs.
Translate No Agenda-style commentary frameworks to French, Hindi, Spanish, etc.
Allow locals to launch “No Agenda: [Your Country]” spinoffs.
Outcome: Decentralized, meme-based truth squads.
🧩 7.
Gamified “Narrative Watch” App
A mobile app that turns media analysis into a game:
Users score points by tagging manipulative headlines, identifying who benefits, spotting “coincidences.”
Monthly leaderboards, jingle rewards, unlockable clips from past episodes.
Tie it into the “Value for Value” model—gamers earn SATs or merch.
⚖️ Guiding Philosophy: “Decentralized Skepticism at Scale”
The core idea is to scale No Agenda’s skeptical framework without centralizing power or appearing to become another gatekeeper.
So instead of being a new oracle, AI is the lens people can use to question the narrative themselves—No Agenda becomes the metaphysical template.
Would you like a sample prompt or prototype for one of these tools, like the Media Deconstruction Engine or Daily Digest format?

Dadgum Tim Burchett BOTG
Greetings Adam,
When I saw the
title for Sunday's show, I immediately thought about my friend Tim
Burchett. And I was right! Tim and I grew up together in Knoxville,TN.
We played in the creek, looking for salamanders and crawdaddies. He kept
exotic animals (piranha, caymen alligator, etc.) in his bedroom. We
also used to go rolling neighbor's trees.
He
got into government service after Knox County unfairly targeted him and
a business he started. One of his first bills he sponsored in Tennessee
was a "road kill bill", which made it legal to keep any animal that you
happened to run into/over with your car (like if you hit and kill a
deer with your car, you could just take it home and eat it). The cool
thing is that as he grew up and got involved in government (TN state
rep, Knoxville County Mayor, etc.) he has remained true to himself and
hasn't seen the need to be someone different from who he is. His
wonderful East Tennessee colloquialisms are genuine, as is he.
Thanks and God Bless,
Tom Chapman
Acworth, GA
