Dead Pundits Society

Season 2 of DPS has officially wrapped. Season 3 will launch in beginning of May featuring a new website, weekly YouTube videos along with articles and blog posts. In the meantime, patrons will be getting a weekly B-Side and the free feed will revisit classic episodes of DPS. This episode featuring Adaner Usmani aired a year and a half ago and remains as relevant as ever. Be sure to support DPS Media as we enter our third season: http://www.patreon.com/deadpundits -------------------------- Joining me this week is Adaner Usmani.
