The podcasting community is mourning the loss of John C. Dvorak, a pioneering voice whose influence stretched across technology, media, and podcasting.

Through his work and his many years co-hosting “No Agenda” with Adam Curry, John helped shape conversations, challenge conventional thinking, and demonstrate the power of independent media. His voice, wit, and unmistakable perspective will be deeply missed.

Our hearts are with John’s family, Adam Curry, the No Agenda community, and everyone whose life and work were touched by him.

Rest in peace, John. Your impact on podcasting won’t be forgotten.

Indie podcasting can feel lonely, confusing, and way harder than it should.

You’re trying to grow your show, improve your content, figure out video, understand monetization, keep up with AI, and stay consistent without burning out.

That’s exactly why we're excited for the 3rd annual Empowered Podcasting Conference!

It’s a weekend for indie and DIY podcasters to get around people who understand the work, share what’s actually helping, and build real relationships that last beyond the event.
