In September 2007, the number of broadcasts slumped dramatically following a Curry family reunion in Fire Island, New York State. Far from being daily, Curry started leaving gaps of up to five days between podcasts. Ongoing problems with the Podshow network web sites, which Curry founded, were rumoured to be partly to blame.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

''The ''Daily Source Code'' was one of the shows featured by Adam Curry on [[Sirius Satellite Radio]] in his "Adam Curry's PodShow" from May 1, 2005 till the end of the contract in May 2007.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=EditorialAsset&cid=1117220854482 |title=SIRIUS Satellite radio partnering with Adam Curry |publisher=SIRIUS Satellite Radio |accessdate=2007-03-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://inoveryourhead.net/sirius-and-podshow-end-their-contract/ |title=Sirius and Podshow end their contract |date=April 24, 2007 |accessdate=2007-11-21}}</ref> Since May 4, 2006 (episode 380)<ref name="mediabarondotcom-adam-curry-discovers-sl">{{cite web | url=http://www.mediabaron.com/blog/2006/05/03/adam-curry-discovers-second-life/ | title=Adam Curry discovers Second Life | publisher=MediaBaron | date=May 3, 2006 | accessdate=2006-11-28 | author=Sekiya, Baron | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061104224530/http://www.mediabaron.com/blog/2006/05/03/adam-curry-discovers-second-life/ | archive-date=November 4, 2006 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Curry has been promoting Daily Source Code in [[Second Life]] under the name "Adam Neumann" via Curry Castle.<ref name="mediabarondotcom-adam-curry-discovers-sl"/>

From episode 813 Curry trialed a semi-live format where the show was [[streaming media|streamed]] and listeners of the show could call in. From around episode 820 in February 2009 Curry moved his attention to producing the [[No Agenda]] podcast with [[John C. Dvorak]] and production of the Daily Source Code became much more intermittent, at most weekly.<ref>Aside: "No Agenda began simply enough, in late 2007, as an unscripted, unrehearsed and unedited dialog between MEVIO President and Co-Founder Adam Curry, and MEVIO VP John C.

''The ''Daily Source Code'' was suspended with episode 821 on February 16, 2009. After a year of hiatus Curry rediscovered creative energy for the show and resumed ''The Daily Source Code'' with episode 822 on March 19, 2010, focusing more on music. However, it was announced in an episode of [[No Agenda]] that Curry would not be continuing production of ''The Daily Source Code'', fearing penalties for copyright infringement.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

Curry produced another episode of the ''The Daily Source Code'' in May 2012, however, and announced plans to continue the podcast. As of 2015, only two more episodes had been produced: #866 in August 2012 and #867 in November 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.curry.com/2014/01/15/theDailySourceCodeArchiveProject.html |title=The Daily Source Code Archive Project |date=2014-01-15|accessdate=2015-05-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hotcoffee.org/na_page/Podcasts/DSCPodcasts.aspx|title=HotCoffee.org: Download Adam Curry Daily Source Code (Archives)|accessdate=2015-05-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150513211730/http://hotcoffee.org/na_page/Podcasts/DSCPodcasts.aspx|archive-date=2015-05-13|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2016 Curry again began regular production.

=== Signature introduction ===

The DSC's signature introduction, "...with 16 million dollars' worth of airplane strapped to my ass, and the next generation radio content in my ears, I'd like to think I'm flying into the future" started life as a comment Curry received from airline pilot [https://www.threestorks.net/ Christopher Stork] during the podcast's early days (March 2005). Curry read it out during a show, and that recording (along with other audio clips used previously as part of the show's opening sequence) were utilized by a listener and contributor to produce a show opening, which was submitted back to Adam Curry.<ref name = "Daily Source Code">{{cite web |url=http://www.dailysourcecode.com |title= Daily Source Code 03/25/2005 podcast |publisher=[[Podshow]] |date=2005-03-25 |accessdate=2005-03-25}}</ref> Curry loved the produced piece so much, that he made it a predominating feature of the show's opening. It became the podcast's signature introduction and was highly recognized and often mimicked on other podcasts. Although the listener/contributor that produced the piece was never actually mentioned on the show, it was the voice-over artist known as "Kevin the Announcer Guy", the imaging announcer for the early days of Jan Polet's Hit Test, a prominent feature played on the ''The Daily Source Code''.
