RIP John C. Dvorak

Episode 549 This week's episode of Nick the Rat Radio opens heavy — a rough week of sickness, a dead microphone, and the loss of podcasting legend John C. Dvorak. Nick shares tributes from Adam Curry and Chris Wilson, takes emotional calls from longtime listeners, and reflects on 20+ years of No Agenda before eventually finding his way back to the chaos: Nvidia's origin story with Sega, NASA's canceled moon lander, and a very deep dive into eggs, Monte Cristos, and Lightning Network nodes with a caller. Then the sewer really opens up — the cyclospora "shittening" tearing through Taco Bell and Taylor Farms, a fresh Dark Sewer Network News dispatch from Jane Hanoi (demonic sewer alligators, plumbing poltergeists, and the Rat King's rat uprising), reckless geoengineering experiments dumping chemicals into the ocean and sky, a bison-tossing grandpa, the JD Vance corn dog discourse, and the ongoing Charlie Kirk statue drama in Times Square. A wild, emotional, all-over-the-place episode — as always, straight from the sewer. #NickTheRatRadio #DarkSewerNetwork #JohnCDvorak #NoAgenda #Podcast #ValueForValue #Paranormal #ConspiracyTheory #SewerRats #TalkRadio #Underground #Brooklyn #WeirdNews #TacoBell #Geoengineering #sewerchat A paranoid rat discusses conspiracies, secret agendas, and things they don't want you to know — while playing hand-picked underground music.
