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. Louisth, 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. Welcome back to Pop Pantheon. This is your boy, DJ Louis, of course. Thank you so much

for being here. I know we've got a bunch of new listeners in the house.

Thank you for listening.

I hope you're enjoying the podcast.
