The podcast No Agenda, hosted by Adam Curry, released episode 1903 titled "Non-Practicing" on September 13, 2026, featuring Oscar-nominated producer Dana Brunetti. Brunetti, known for executive producing films such as The Social Network, House of Cards, Captain Phillips, 21, and the Fifty Shades franchise, made his first public podcast appearance since leaving Los Angeles in 2019. Broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country, the two-and-a-half-hour episode, part of the Curry & Friends series, combines Hollywood war stories with a thorough media deconstruction two days after the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Brunetti's participation matters because it brings a high-profile Hollywood insider into an independent media space known for challenging mainstream narratives. His firsthand account of the 9/11 attacks—he was two blocks from Building 7 and filmed the North Tower's hole before the second plane hit—adds a personal dimension to the episode's exploration of the classified 28 pages, Saudi Arabia's alleged role, and widow Terri Strada's confrontation of presidents. Curry revisits Bob Graham's Senate testimony and Megyn Kelly's reporting on the redacted pages, while Brunetti connects the Adrian Lamo thread in his shelved documentary Hackers Wanted to Chelsea Manning's arrest. This segment underscores ongoing questions about government transparency and the lingering impact of 9/11 on public discourse.
The AI discussion dissects what the episode calls a coordinated "kill all humans" psyop involving Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Bernie Sanders, and Rep. Greg Casar. It also covers Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's G7 remarks, Anthropic's Moonshot AI accusations, and the Sanders-Hawley bill proposing 20-year prison sentences for building artificial superintelligence. By framing these as hype, the episode challenges the escalating rhetoric around AI risks, suggesting it may serve particular interests rather than public safety.
Brunetti also recounts the Saturday-night phone call from David Fincher that steered Kevin Spacey and House of Cards to Netflix's untested original-content push. He details how Reed Hastings' team bought the show in the room for $100 million across two seasons. Yet he remains characteristically flat about his legacy: "So everybody gives me credit for starting streaming and all that. It would have happened no matter what." This perspective downplays individual genius in favor of inevitable technological shifts, a theme that resonates with the episode's skeptical take on media narratives.
Additional topics include the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, the Black holdout juror, and NBC 10 Boston's rapid opposition-research doxxing; the AfD's 43.8% earthquake in Saxony-Anhalt; and Russia's new targeting of Ukrainian rail and fuel depots. Curry delivers the line that gives the episode its title after a TikToker declares herself "a non-practicing white."
For audiences seeking alternatives to conventional news, this episode of No Agenda offers a blend of insider anecdotes and critical analysis. It can be found at noagendashow.net and wherever podcasts are heard. By bringing Brunetti back into public conversation, the show highlights how personal experiences and industry knowledge can inform a more nuanced understanding of events that shape public perception.
