    Talking Pop Classics With Bebe Rexha

    18/06/2026 | 41 mins.
    It is my pleasure to welcome to the podcast Bebe Rexha - a pop music titan who is responsible for some of the biggest hits of the last decade. Freshly independent and with a new record 'Dirty Blonde' in the bag, we talked about her journey to this point and her most cohesive album to date.
    As always, we also talked pop classics touching on everything from dancefloor bangers to Miley Cyrus.

    Talking Pop Classics With Madeon: Lady Gaga, Slayyyter, Porter Robinson and More

    03/06/2026 | 47 mins.
    Madeon has long been one of the most exciting producers in the game. He broke through as a teenager with a pop music mash-up and turned that into a consistently evolving career. He’s collaborated with Porter Robinson, Lady Gaga and more recently Slayyyter and so he feels like the perfect person to join us to chat Pop Classics.
    This was such a pleasure for me personally. I’ve been a longtime fan of Madeon and always admired how he’s been able to show great admiration for the producers that came before him while also being a trailblazer. We had a great conversation talking about his work with Lady Gaga and Slayyyter and also his forthcoming album ‘Victory’.

    Pop Classics With HorsegiirL: Kylie, Pop Maximalism and 'Nature Is Healing'

    27/05/2026 | 46 mins.
    HorsegiirL is the first horse to ever appear on The Pop Pod but also one of the most fascinating. The German producer and DJ has transcended her meme-ish origins to become one of the most important figures in electronic music right now.
    In this episode, we talked about pop classics from Kylie to Usher but also what makes pop so fascinating. The ability to make the complex universally snackable.
    HorsegiirL's debut album 'Nature Is Healing' is out next week.

    Ranking Ariana Grande Albums From 'Yours Truly' To 'Eternal Sunshine'

    20/05/2026 | 42 mins.
    In July, Ariana Grande will release her eighth album ‘Petal’ so we thought it was the opportune time to roll out the definitive ranking of Ariana albums. From ‘Yours Truly’ to ‘Eternal Sunshine’, Ariana has one of the most interesting and personal discographies in pop music tracking personal triumphs and tragedies. 
    We can update this ranking in July when ‘Petal’ finally arrives but for now, join PopSamCam for the current Ariana Grande albums ranking.
    What’s your ranking?
