John C. Dvorak, a technology columnist, pundit, author, and podcast host, dies at age 80. Multiple reports say he is survived by his wife, Mimi Dvorak. Dvorak is best known for co-hosting the “No Agenda” podcast with Adam Curry, where he regularly critiques mainstream news media. The news of his death is first reported via posts on X by the “No Agenda” podcast accounts, although at least one early announcement mistakenly gives his age as 74. One outlet also states that Dvorak’s death occurs on Monday, July 20, 2026, and describes it as sudden, with his wife at his side. It also notes that the most recent “No Agenda” episode was released the day before his death. Sources agree on his role in technology commentary and podcasting, and on his age at death, while details such as the exact timing and interim reporting errors appear to come from different stages of the initial announcement.

William Gallagher, AppleInsider: Legendary technology columnist, pundit, author and podcast host John C. Dvorak has died, age 80. He is survived by his wife Mimi Dvorak. Today Dvorak is best known for co-hosting the “No Agenda” podcast with Adam Curry, where he would critique mainstream news media. His death was first announced by the podcast on X, although note that Dvorak’s age is mistakenly given as 74. From the No Agenda News newsletter yesterday: For a man who spent decades famously predicting the catastrophic demise of almost every major technological innovation, it is with the heaviest of hearts we must announce that John’s own hardware finally gave out on Monday morning, July 20th, 2026, at the age of 80. He went peacefully, albeit suddenly, with Mimi at his side, critiquing the acting and story line of NCIS. His death truly seems quite sudden — the most recent episode of No Agenda dropped on Sunday, the day before he died. ★
