An Important Message for our Spotify Listeners
We have recently received a number of takedown notices from Spotify on behalf of an organization representing songwriters and publishers and indications that Spotify could, at some point, remove Pop Pantheon from their platform. In light of that and while our current plan is to continue publishing on Spotify for the the time being, we're highly suggesting that our Spotify listeners subscribe to PP on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or any other podcast app so that you never miss an episode of the show regardless of what the future holds for the show on Spotify. Lastly, even if you don't subscribe at the paid tier, click here to sign up for Pop Pantheon's Patreon channel at the free tier so that we have a way to keep in touch outside of the reach of these major tech platforms. We'll also be throwing you some free goodies on there as well!
