I love the show. Lately I’ve been recommending it to everyone. The conversations make me love music even more. I think the best episodes are with guests that make the host laugh because then we get to laugh along and learn at the same time.

Could not press play on the Hilary Duff episode fast enough!

Love this podcast so much. As a teacher, I also love introducing my students to various episodes as we take deep dives into the various facets of culture and history.

I love this podcast but am hoping for a britney pop pantheon episode 💖🩷
Brooke102904 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/24
I truly cannot get enough of this podcast. I appreciate how seriously DJ Louis, Russ and the guest take pop music. I’ve learned so much about music history, and I have reevaluated music that I didn’t enjoy/get the first time around. I don’t always agree with the takes, but love to hear them....Read full review »

My all-time favourite podcast. Great host, great guests, absolutely correct opinion on Katy Perry - that is all 👍

Discussing the good, the bad, and the dirty of pop music history, theory, aesthetics and culture through a largely queer lens, this podcast feels like I’m sitting at a coffee shop with my favorite Queer, Music lover friends. Let me clarify, you do not have to be Queer to enjoy this podcast, nor...Read full review »

I stumbled upon this podcast looking for podcasts discussing George Michael. That was the first episode I heard and I was HOOKED! I love the detailed analysis, fast pace, humor, music sprinkled in, and the discussion of where the performer may have been emotionally when writing and performing. I...Read full review »

The host of this show is so annoying and grating to listen to but the guests and content are usually pretty good

Very cool podcast
JzyyBluee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
Louie is incredibly charming and you can hear in his voice how studied and respectful he is of these artists. I’ve always hoped that someone would make a show like this that has such reverence for pop history old and new and truly makes an effort to pair each episode with a commentator who can...Read full review »

Love this podcast. Well produced, always well researched, and great guests. Makes me appreciate artists I sometimes ignore and always dive deeper into their music catalog. Highly recommended!
JayLLR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/24
Love the podcast. I am familiar with a lot of the artists featured, but it has been a real pleasure to dive deep in to these pop legends’ discographies. Well researched and so fun!
Anoynomous2005 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/23
Loveeeeee the podcast! So insightful and well researched. After listening to Mariah’s 3 parts and hearing all the Mary J. references, I’d love to hear an episode featuring her. I’m such a huge fan I want to see where she’d rank. 😊
BDT823 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/23
I absolutely love learning about all the idols and listening to the host and guests. This pod is accessible to the casual pop fan, not only diehards. Very easy and interesting listen 💛
Ledada Lou via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/29/23
I loved this podcast for several years but lately it’s been the same takes from Louie over and over. They just did a 2023 best of recap and it was basically the same thing as the half year recap. We never need to hear how pop stars like Billie or SZA don’t look like Janet Jackson again. Someone...Read full review »

Appreciate the host and guests that bring so much knowledge about the history of the artists and their music! Keep going, because I’m going to keep listening!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I saw Troy McEady post on Instagram about his guest spot on this show, so of course I listened as I’ll follow him anywhere. Glad I did because I’ve been binging episodes for the past few days. I think this was such a great idea for a Podcast and DJ Louie does an amazing job. It sound so...Read full review »
OB199813 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/23
Overall this is an excellent podcast and a fun topic to cover. My only critique is the host has a tendency to rapid fire 20 questions in a run on sentence and the guests never really get to answer them before it’s off to another set of questions.
DBrewer75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
This podcast is a masterpiece in the vein of Blackout and Autobiography. Highlight of my weeks!
AshleeSimpson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/23
i found out about this podcast from Joe Coscarelli on Popcast Deluxe and i’ve been hooked ever since! Louie and his guests are a wealth of knowledge about the people they talk about and it’s truly been a joy to listen and learn about artists i didn’t know much about previously. i think the...Read full review »

…rock wonks like myself love to listen to these historic dives because 1) the window is closing on those who remember these groups and 2) we want to find gotchas. In fairness the podcaster here is doing shows that span decades. So he should be complimented for his knowledge. But a couple of...Read full review »

THIS PODCAST FEEDS MY GAY SOUL🩷 Please do an episode on Norwegian singer Aurora, & Dula Peep🩷
Yep... she did it again via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
This podcast is amazing, the level of detail makes me feel I am doing a masters in pop music without it ever feeling complex. The guests, the topics, the discussions are delectable. Super excited to hear more, would love more UK/US differences, let’s hear a UK girl group episode as people need to...Read full review »
RyReid via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/14/23
One of my favorite recent finds in podcasts! I’ve been binging the older episodes and subscribed to the Patreon for the album deep dives, highly recommended! Only critique is the glaring blind spot of not covering any of the Slayyyter rollout/coming album, c’mon Louie get it together!
Glee Junkie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/23
honestly an amazing podcast. While I always learn something new and often come away with new songs, my favorite aspect is DJ Louie’s enthusiasm for each conversation. Each guest is perfection, especially when they bring something personal to the episode. I wanna say a special shout out to the...Read full review »

Please do an episode about Bruno Mars. I know some people have issues with some of his music. It is fair to criticize him, but there is no doubt (I would love to listen an episode about No Doubt) he is a very talented musician. He is from Hawaii, which was a great foundation for him becoming such...Read full review »

I am not at all involved in the music industry and I don’t even know how I stumbled on this podcast and I am obsessed. I immediately signed up for the Patreon. There are so many amazing throwbacks and the analysis makes me develop an even greater appreciation for my favorite (and not so favorite)...Read full review »

Kava17 via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 07/25/23
I love this podcast so much and have shared it with all my friends (multiple times, depending on the episode). DJ Louis and his team do a phenomenal job and the quality of this pod is second to none. It is the highlight of my week. Favourite episodes are Diana Ross, Shania, Rappers (50, ja rule,...Read full review »

Do an episode on second albums/comeback albums! Very relevant with Olivia Rodrigo right now
Jessicarew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever come across and that’s saying a lot as a podcaster as well as pop fan. The way the episodes are structured is so entertaining and I learn sooo much about pop stars and history. Plus Louis’s opinions are funny and the guests are perfectly curated. Great...Read full review »

And oddly attracted to the hosts voice and the way he says “girlies”. Bring GORGEOUS GORGEOUS to chicago!

I just discovered this podcast and I am obsessed. It is a fun and incredibly smart look into many Pop Stars ⭐️ I have enjoyed hearing about my favorite Girls and it has helped me understand girls like Billie Illish??? The latest episode of Little Richard brought me to tears. I can’t recommend...Read full review »

Paul Richie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/23
Loved the Kim Petras episode because it was one of the first conversations I’ve heard about her incredibly complicated but important trajectory. Educational, fun, dare I say…camp? ways to learn about the context of our most beloved pop figures. Keep em comin
atlantictiger via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/04/23
I love listening to people dissected classic albums, so I searched on Apple Podcasts to see if anyone ever broke down Usher's My Way (it turned 25 last year) and came across the a whole episode breaking down his career. It was so much fun listening to DJ Louie XIV and the guest, Rawiya,...Read full review »

I discovered this podcast while on maternity leaves, and as a lifelong, pop, obsessive, I can’t speak highly enough about it. It is well researched, well, edited, funny, and I can’t wait for the next episode to come out keep up the great work!
LesEd626 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/23
Has quickly risen to be one of my favorite podcasts. The show is so well researched, I think it’s perfectly written while also being spur of the moment and has incredible guests with insightful contributions. I recommend it to so many of my friends and I am always stoked to listen. Love love love

Wow! What an amazing show! My current favourite Podcast and it’s all I’;m listening to. Pop Pantheon is insightful, interesting and just plain fun. Well-researched and in-depth, manages to balance fun and frivolity while also looking at pop from a cultural and academic perspective. It think it...Read full review »

SD1980* via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/01/23
I enjoy the podcast. The main presenter… please, please slow down and take a breath. You speak so very quickly with long, run-on sentences that it can be difficult to follow what you are saying and exhausting to listen to sometimes. It’s your podcast, you don’t breed to rush!
panry via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/01/23
I found this podcast like 2 month ago looking for a beyonce deep dive. And like kismet this podcast showed up. Love all the in depth convos about pop music/music industry, so much in fact that I decided I’m going to sign up for the patreon (thanks to all the patreon teaser ep). Keep up the great...Read full review »
