Welcome to Pop Pantheon, the podcast where we completely overanalyze all of your favorite pop stars and then rank them in the official Pop Pantheon.

This is your host, DJ Louis X. And I want to remind you that we have a live show coming up on December 2nd at Parkside Lounge in the East Village where we will be counting down the best pop music of 2024 with Jason Frank, Jason Lipschitz, and Julianne Escobedo Shepard. Our first show we announced, which is the following that on December 3rd, is already sold out.

So you got to get tickets to this one if you want to come out and see it. And also, if you have tickets to the second show, come to the first show because they're going to be different. We're going to be counting down different aspects of pop music. Let me put it that way. There's going to be aspects of pop that we're counting down that are going to be different at each show.

So you can come to both shows.

Isn't that so fun?

Your plans for the week are set.

So come see us December 2nd at Parkside Lounge to

count down the best pop of 24. Tickets are available in the show notes of this episode. Or you can go to
