MADONNA (with Jezebel's Rich Juzwiak)
b"This week, DJ Louie is joined by Jezebel Senior Writer and Pot Psychology Host Rich Juzwiak to discuss the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Their conversation focuses mainly on Madonna's latter period career, from 2008's Hard Candy through 2019's Madame X, and the ways Madonna's vice-grip on both her artistic muse and Pop writ-large have slipped after 25 years of dominance. Louie and Rich discuss Madonna's strange choice to make Hard Candy with a post-prime Timbaland and Pharrell, debate her legacy as an innovator and clout-chaser, her often cringey Instagram presence, her self-destructive feud with Lady GaGa, how notions Pop and diva-dom have shifted over her nearly four decade (!!) career, and the ideas- or lack thereof- behind her recent albums. Finally- and despite these recent missteps- Louie and Rich discuss Madonna's well-earned position atop the Pop Pantheon, what she could do now to right the ship, and whether she is in fact the greatest pop star of all time.\\n\\nRead Rich's review of Madame X on Pitchfork: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/madonna-madame-x/\\nRead Louie's review of Madame X on Buzzfeed: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/djlouiexiv/madonna-madame-x-pop-music-age-women\\n\\nFollow Pop Pantheon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/poppantheonpod/\\nFollow Pop Pantheon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PopPantheonPod\\nFollow DJ Louie XIV on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djlouiexiv/\\nFollow DJ Louie XIV on Twitter: https://twitter.com/djlouiexiv\\nFollow Rich Juzwiak on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichJuz"
