This is what Adam uses to record and produce No Agenda. Connected to his Macbook Pro 15″ and Abelton Live software. One of the important features of Adam’s setup is his ability to monitor live what is recording, include sound effects from his virtual ‘cart rack’ and pipe it to via Skype so he can monitor the show as well. These units are made in Germany by Faderfox

Someday Adam might document and share exactly how he configured his setup.

Dvorak loves Gold Toe socks and he found this special cashmere version. Unfortunately the cashmere version falls apart quickly. The regular ones are still great and they still make them right here in the USA – how about that!?

Dvorak usually does his own laundry but sometimes he drops it off at a laundry service when his laundry backs up.

The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom is a BBC documentary series by English filmmaker Adam Curtis, well known for other documentaries including The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares. It began airing on BBC Two on 11 March 2007.

The series consists of three, one-hour programmes which explore the concept and definition of freedom, specifically “how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today’s idea of freedom.”

Philips believes we are in an age of Cultural Totalitarianism.

During No Agenda #211, Dvorak described her as a ponderous British woman that was on C-SPAN recently. She is also a columnist with the Daily Mail. Adam seemed to get a boner after listening to her audio clip.

Philips speaks out that global warming and other popular beliefs in our society aren’t true and that people that argue against them are shouted down. What Adam and John don’t mention, is that her thesis is based upon the belief that it’s due to the erosion of religion in our culture.
