POP Goes The World! / What the Fontaine?!

Proceed With Caution……The Best Of 2021 (rewind)

Fri, Dec 26, 2025

For these few weeks where we have to run pre-recorded shows while we get our new station set up and running I figured we’d run back some of the best end of the year round ups and see how well these songs held up as POP Goes The World continued to evolve its aesthetic.

We’ll start with POP Goes The World’s best of 2021 show which originally aired on Friday December 31st, 2021.
