Fans Mourn Their Favorite ‘JCD’
There was a massive outpouring of grief on social media, even hours after the death of John Dvorak. Thousands of followers of ‘The No Agenda Show’ posted about missing the 80-year-old. So much so that at one point on Thursday evening, ‘JCD’ started trending on social media.
Here are some of the touching tributes for the veteran journalist amid his passing Monday.
“It was JCD that brought me into No Agenda,” wrote a fan in a heartfelt tribute. “Sure, I remembered Adam from MTV, but JCD was on my radar due to TWIT and Cranky Geeks. When I underwent multiple retinal surgeries, I was forced to be face down for the better part of two months. Podcasts became my saving grace.
“I started doing the art for the show as a way to get some of that value back to No Agenda. The fact that JCD asked me on a few occasions to do art for his Substack pieces was an absolute honor.”
