Welcome to Pop Pantheon, the podcast where we completely overanalyze the music, legacy, and cultural impact of all your favorite pop stars.

I'm your host, DJ Louis X.

and I'm a DJ, writer, and all-around pop music fanatic. I've spent my entire life and career

thinking about dissecting and being obsessed with pop stars. Their music, their legacies, how they

relate to one another, to the larger pop musical landscape, and to culture more broadly.

What separates an icon from a mere superstar?

Why does some careers become the soundtrack to our lives and why do others flop?

Whose work in legacy transcends time and whose feel stuck in it?

Every episode of Pop Pantheon, we'll devote an entire episode to a pop icon,

from Titans of the Genre like Beyonce and all the way down to

lesser Titans, like Nicole Scherzinger. Each episode, you'll hear a little breakdown from me,

and then some distinguished guests and I will chop it up about their careers, discographies,

public personas, live performances, music videos, feuds, tweets, you name it.

And at the end, we'll turn pop into fantasy football, make our final judgment, and place them in

the official Pop Pantheon.

Ladies and other ladies, welcome back to episode three of Pop Pantheon. I am so excited to be back with you again this week for our

third episode, just chugging right along. I hope you enjoyed our episode last week on

underrated pop queen Sierra and spend some time going back and listening to some of the great music that

Sierra has given us because there is so much. And I was so happy to get to like put the

spotlight on her for a second because she deserves, baby. And that's part of what this podcast

is all about. I want to take a moment up top here to say if you have it in your heart, if you have

the emotional space to share, please go on to Apple Podcasts, rate, subscribe, and leave me a review.
