SUPPORT THIS PODCAST! Join Patreon Get some merch ~~~~ I was all set to do a bonus episode on girl groups, in conjunction with one of my boy band episodes, but in researching them I found the topic far too rich, and decided to do a full proper episode. A MEGA episode. In fact, the LONGEST MxG EVER.  Like with the boy band episodes, though with a markedly different trajectory, I take us far back in history and through to today, highlighting the most significant girl groups from every era, and reminding us that – like former girl group member Beyonce sang: Who run the world? Girls! Have you been into girl groups? Did you prefer the classic girl groups of the 1960s, or were you more of a ‘90s-2000s fan? Were you aware how different their history has been from boy bands? Do you think girl group solo stars have been as influential as those from boy bands, or even more? What are your favorite girl groups? Discuss dammit! BONUS MxTRA: Girl group solo stars ~~~~ *intro/outro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High" *mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
