Summary
Please welcome to the stage: Pop Pantheon All Access!!
Simply can't get enough of Pop Pantheon? Well, great news! I am so excited to announce the launch of our new Patreon channel, Pop Pantheon All Access (click here to join)! This is the spot for even more of the trenchant, in-depth, fun-loving pop music analysis you expect from Pop Pantheon but with a few fun twists, as well as a great community of fellow pop obsessives.
There are two tiers (duh) in PPAA:
1. Icon Tier: for $5 a month, Icon Subscribers will get access to at least one bonus episode of Pop Pantheon a month! That's right, ya'll! These episodes will focus largely on new music by all of our favorite pop stars, even ones we have yet to rank in the Pantheon, in-depth look-backs at past albums and eras and some more personal content from me on my life, DJ career and some behind the scenes on how the show gets made! You will also get access to our Discord server, exclusive virtual album release parties, early merch drops, guest list for my queer pop party Gorgeous Gorgeous in LA, and to provide meaningful input on who and what you'd like to see featured on future episodes of Pop Pantheon!
2. Niche Legend Tier: for just $2 a month, Niche Legend Subscribers can support the show, gain access to our Discord server, early merch drops and provide input on future episodes of the show.
Right now, there are three new bonus episodes up on PPAA:
1. A new music speed round where Russ and I talk new releases by Rihanna, Lizzo, Tove Lo, Kim Petras, Sam Smith, Rina Sawayama and more, then play a game called "Step up, Step down" where we assess major pop news of late (eg. Rih playing the Super Bowl!) and discuss how it might affect their Pantheon placement.
2. A conversation with Pop Pantheon fav, Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos, where we deep dive on Taylor Swift's 2017 album Reputation, lay out all the controversy that swirled around the record when it dropped, dig through the music, themes, and aesthetics with a fine-toothed comb and the power of hindsight, and tie it all to her new blockbuster album, Midnights.
3. A very personal (and silly :-)) convo with my sister Lily about some of our favorite shared pop music memories, the role she plays behind the scenes in making this show better and of course, all the Pantheon rankings she disagrees with.
I can't thank you enough for supporting this independently-produced show and I am so excited to do even more over-analysis of all your favorite pop stars!
See you guys there :-).

| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:17.7 | This is your host, DJ Louis X.th, and this is a very special announcement, |
| 0:22.2 | because today is the day that we are launching our official Patreon channel. It is called |
| 0:29.9 | Pop Pantheon All Access, and it is going to be loaded with new content and other perks for people |
| 0:35.5 | who just cannot get enough of me and of Pop Pantheon and |
| 0:39.2 | what we do here. |
| 0:40.0 | So I just want to take a moment here and record a special episode and describe what we're |
| 0:44.0 | offering on this Patreon. |
| 0:46.0 | First of all, I want to say that before I get into any of this, nothing is changing on this |
| 0:51.8 | main feed of the show. |
| 0:53.4 | You're still going to be getting a new episode of |
| 0:55.2 | Pop Pantheon every single week just as you have been for the last couple of years. And if you |
| 1:01.0 | don't want to join or this is not of interest to you, of course, nothing changes for you. Life goes on |
| 1:06.2 | exactly as it was. If you're interested in joining, this is what Poppanthian all access is going to be about. |
| 1:11.5 | So we have two tiers in this Patreon. And the main thing that we're doing here is we're going |

| 1:20.3 | a podcast. So we're going to be giving you more podcast content as one of the main features of |
| 1:25.3 | this Patreon. The bonus episodes of the show will be available |
| 1:29.7 | at what we're calling the icon tier, which is $5 a month, and we're promising at least one bonus |
| 1:34.8 | episode of the show per month. And right now, if you go subscribe, there are three new episodes on |
| 1:40.4 | there that represent a variety of ideas of what we're going to be doing on the Patreon. |
| 1:46.5 | So the Patreon is going to be something we play around with. |
