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 the 14th.

And gorgeous, gorgeous, my queer pop party has two Halloween parties coming up that are selling really fast. The first is next Friday, October 25th, at Most Globos in Silver Lake in Los Angeles. The next is the following Friday, November 1st, at Sultan Room in Bushwick in New York. Get your tickets in the show notes of this episode while you can. And I'm telling you, especially for New York, especially New York early is like there's not going to be tickets for very long. There will be door tickets for both. So if you can't grab a ticket online, still come out, see what you can do at the door. But I definitely recommend grabbing those tickets online while you can. They're cheaper and more guaranteed, so to speak. So can't wait to see everybody at gorgeous, gorgeous Halloween.
