Welcome to Pop Pantheon, the podcast where we completely overanalyze all your favorite

pop stars and rank them in the official Pop Pantheon.

I am, of course, your host, DJ DJ Louis the 14th. Welcome back to another

episode. I want to kick this episode off by kind of doing what I've done before, which is asking

if you would please subscribe, rate and review to the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. But more

so than doing that, I actually wanted to just take a quick moment up top here to share some of my favorite reviews in recent memory.

I've gotten so many fun ones from people that I want to shout out and also say thank you, obviously, for leaving them.

People say the sweetest things, and they also leave the most hilarious suggestions for episode subjects.

Insightful. Many are insightful,

but some are also funny. Obviously, people like Shockey Mama 7 say, we hope we do Taylor Swift

soon. Obviously, that's everybody's number one priority. It seems like Esk eight left a comment

saying that they love the podcast so much and they're dying for a Bruno Mars episode and

dare they say it, a Kanye episode, which seems like a tall order right now, but also kind of

can't wait to dive into Kanye and talk a little bit about how we process his music in the

context of what's been going on with him lately. And of course, M. Kutaro 4, who left a message

recently that said, so good, please do an

episode on Farah Abraham's avant-garde album, which like, sure, that's would be interesting.

I think that's funny.

So anyway, I really love when people leave reviews with suggestions of who they want to hear.

So if you're looking to drop a review or you haven't done it yet or you want to leave another one, drop a review and let me know who you'd like to see on the podcast. I also wanted to highlight that we are going to be doing a mailbag minisode in the next few weeks. So this is a really good time to get in any questions you have about Pop, about Pop Pantheon, about artists we've covered in the past. The best way to do it is to send me an email at Pop Pantheon Pod at gmail.com, but you can also shoot me a DM at Pop Pantheon pod on Instagram or at DJ, L-O-U-I-E-X-B on Instagram. Get your questions in. I'm going to go through a series of them in an upcoming minisode. I also really wanted to share a DM I got last week about the Nelly Furtado episode of a

couple weeks ago from Jason Q on Instagram.

And he said, hey, Louie, thank you so much for doing the Nelly Furtado episode.
