Shows
On December 31, 2020, DSPN will be shutting down. Don't worry! All your favorite DSPN shows will still stick around. It's only the network that's ending.
All shows will keep their same feeds, but some might have a new website. Each show will have its own information about where it is headed in the coming months. Check in with them!
The dissolving of DSPN is super amicable! We're all friends, but James and Rudy have just got too much on their plates to keep it going. We love every show on DSPN and will keep listening after we're gone.
We want to thank all the DSPN shows, contributors, and listeners who have been with us. These last four years have been incredible, and we're looking forward to the future.
Thank you,
James and Rudy
