Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #496: A Whole Lotta (Rubber) Soul

This week on The Five(ish) Fangirls Podcast, we’re heading back to the swinging '60s to dive into the sounds that helped shape modern music. We're putting the needle down on Rubber Soul, the groundbreaking 1965 album from The Beatles. With its mix of folk rock, soul, and lyrical evolution, this record marked a major turning point in their career—and in popular music as a whole. Join us as we explore the tracks, the stories behind them, and why Rubber Soul still resonates decades later. Plus some fandom news and your feedback!
