What's up, everyone?

It's John.

Before we get into the episode two quick things, first, listener mailbag coming up, year-end

episode, whole gang coming in, answer questions, drop a sneak mail, popgastinwytimes.com, or

put it in the Facebook group, I'll set up a thread or the discord.

I will find the thread that y'all set up there.

Second thing, holiday season, popgast lover in your life.

We got a bunch of t-shirts left, less than half, but still a bunch.

It's the popgast.myshopify.com, profits to the New York Times and media's cases fund.

That's all.

Album's the year, coming now.

Wasn't to the New York Times popgast.

You are plastic on the sofa that's ripped off of music news and criticism.

I am your host, John Caramonica.

That was Cuffit, that was Renaissance, that was Beyoncé, it is the albums of the year,

popgast.

By now, hopefully you've seen everyone's list.

We are going to get deep into the unusual corners, the unexpected overlaps, the intersections

between all of us.

John Prellis is here.

I am indeed.

Lindsay Zolladz is here.
