The Drawing Room Experts
If actual drawing room conversations were recorded, the result wouldn’t be too far off from what we deliver through this podcast. Join the ”drawingroomers” as they discuss everything under the sun and provide an honest opinion as Pakistani expats living in North America, the likes of which is hardly heard in the current podcast/media space.

Episode 37: In defense of Imran Khan
Monday Aug 24, 2020
Monday Aug 24, 2020
Zaib finishes the 'essay' he started a couple of weeks back by finishing off the thought of forming an opinion of Imran Khan by talking about the realities that surround him and his government. The Prime Minister of Pakistan certainly has his work cut out if he is to fix the institutional flaws in the country but at the very least, Zaib believes he knows and recognizes them.
There also some strong words for the 'Pakistani Left' and their 'holier than thou' attitude in their constant attacks of IK and his government, albeit justified but malafide in the intention surely.
Pakistan's solutions are NOT looking back on the leaders of the past and certainly not holding on to the present forever, it is by using the current state to evolve into something better.

Episode 36: U talkin' U2 to Z?
Monday Aug 17, 2020
Monday Aug 17, 2020
From Boy to Home... Lights of, that is. This is U talkin' U2 to Z (Zaib & Zain), an encyclopedic compendium of all things U2! This is GOOD rock'n'roll...uh... Music! (sadly, this reference will not 'Fly' with many)
Zaib and Zain, ultra U2 fans, combine forces to talk about U2! How and when they heard of them, their music overall, their influence on them, and also testing one another with deep-cut/obscure guitar parts for the other to guess!
The episode ends with a tribute from Zaib and Zain to the best band in the world with one of the best songs they've ever written! Check out the end of the podcast to find out what it is!
Great Ep! (C+ tops)

Episode 35: New Series, 'Old Trafford'
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Tuesday Aug 11, 2020
Can Old Trafford get any more manhoos? (I'm talking to you Awais)
You dominate 80% of the sessions, you take one quick yawn (ala WC2019) and you lose the game and get labelled a prat!
Zaib talks about the much-discussed 1st test match between England & Pakistan in Manchester trying to rationalize some sense into the discussion after the hate-mongers had their time in the sun for a good few days
It's a quick ep, so just listen to it already!

Episode 34: The Problem with Imran Khan
Monday Aug 03, 2020
Monday Aug 03, 2020
Zaib takes a deep dive, 'A' Levels English Essay-style, in discussing his issues and problems with Pakistan Prime Minister & Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan.
Zaib talks about issues with IK's self-proclaimed ethical and moral leadership and why it ends up hurting his own cause. He talks about his political knee-jerking and immaturity that hurts great causes because of the fact that it goes 1 step forward and 2 back.
But wait, don't curse just yet PTI fans! Zaib also promises a sequel to this episode. But I wouldn't hold my breath ;)

Monday Jul 13, 2020
We're back with another episode of our, now, the weekly installment of The Premier League round-up, and today Zaib finally gets his One v One with the Great One! Awais is back gracing our eardrums live from New York with his unfiltered take on how the league is panning right now especially for Manchester United and that too fresh off the conclusion of Matchday 34 and United's last-minute draw against Southampton that finished literally a few minutes before we hit record on the Ep.
We discuss the games Tuesday (July 7) onwards through to today's huge game at Old Trafford. We talk as 2 massive football fans would and converse with some spicy back and forth as any United-Liverpool fans would when talking about the league!
Another fun episode for the Prem' lovers!

Episode 29: Patriotism, the ultimate constraint!
Monday Jul 06, 2020
Monday Jul 06, 2020
Zaib tries to elaborate on a fairly controversial opinion he has about Patriotism and how it fails to support the journey of one's intellect in pursuit of Truth!
It's a heavy episode with various trigger warnings and requires a lot of patience and control over one's own subconscious bias is probably the only disclaimer one would give before listening to this one.
What better way to kick off the week after July 4th than to talk about Patriotism! Yea...

Episode 28: Weekly Premier League Round-up
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Wednesday Jul 01, 2020
Zaib is back with another Premier League episode this time discussing the happenings from the last week or so ever since the Premier League resumed on June 17th
He discusses the relegation battle, the Champions League spots, the title race (yay!) and the makes some rather unpopular calls (among united fans!) Granted it is a sly effort into luring Awais Tahir into another episode ;)
The episode concludes with the debut of Zaib's abstract original called 'After Rain'
