Topic: This Week In Tech

The group discusses the early days of No Agenda and its strategic scheduling following Leo Laporte's This Week in Tech (TWiT). Adam Curry acknowledges that the show originally aimed to capture the audience already online for TWiT, often starting an hour after Leo's show ended. Jason Calacanis reflects on his own appearances on TWiT and the political polarization that has affected guest lineups in recent years.

Jason Calacanis reveals that his long-running impersonation of John C. Dvorak was actually based on the actor Edward G. Robinson's "Little Caesar" persona. He recounts how the bit started on "This Week in Tech" to annoy Dvorak and how Dave Chappelle's own Robinson impression influenced the performance. Curry and Calacanis reminisce about Dvorak's reaction to the "gangster" portrayal of his curmudgeonly personality.

John C. Dvorak critiques a recent appearance by Jill Duffy of PC Magazine on the "This Week in Tech" podcast. He mocks her lack of familiarity with the Coachella music festival and her tendency to look directly into the camera lens rather than engaging with the host. The segment includes a brief, bizarre tangent regarding Duffy's physical appearance.
