    The Great Stan War of 2020: Barbz vs The Hive

    The Great Stan War of 2020 has concluded and "Say So" came out on top, but what does that mean for the song's producer, Kesha's alleged abuser? Your favorite stans break down the Barbz vs. The Hive streaming wars, the birth of the antichrist (Grimes & Elon Musk's baby), Lady Gaga giving the gays everything they want (Chromatica-themed jockstraps and a BLACKPINK collab), and Ryan shows off his magnificent Rihanna table book.

    Bad Bunny's Drag Race & Dua Lipa's Dancefloor Manifesto

    Bad Bunny's Drag Race & Dua Lipa's Dancefloor Manifesto

    *Cardi B voice* "CORONAVIRUS!" Dua Lipa is here to save pop with Future Nostalgia while we dance in social isolation. Lady Gaga canceled Earth and is pushing back long-anticipated album Chromatica. Bad Bunny gets in drag for the latest music video from his critically acclaimed YHLQMDLG, but is it appropriation? And what the hell is going on with Katy Perry's career?

    Give Megan Thee Stallion Her Check!

    Give Megan Thee Stallion Her Check!

    Our queen "finesser and fly dresser" got finessed by her record label??? We riot at dawn, but let's talk about what the hell is going on with Thee Stallion's contract. Normani went toe to toe with the Camila & The Racists along with her inner saboteur in a new interview. ALL I EVER WANTED WAS Lady Gaga back to her gay old roots and send me to Chromatica. We're proud to launch the What's It Gonna Take For Bad Bunny to Fist Me Challenge. And in this haus we stan Marianne Williamson! Don't vote for her though. New music from Grimes, Soccer Mommy, and Allie X but @ SZA WHERE IS THE ALBUM.

A Pop Culture Podcast After My Own Heart

Am obsessed with getting to hear Ryan and Taylor talk about all things pop culture, especially pop culture that is not exclusively mainstream, straight and white. Y’all are the best.

Finally! Professional stans I can relate to :)

OnlyStans is just what I was looking for in 2020: A pop culture podcast that explores topics and stories beyond the surface-level. If you’re struggling to keep up with the many layers of references and connections in the modern pop landscape, Ryan and Taylor have got you covered. The more you listen, the more you’ll feel like they could be your closest friends 🥰
