This Monday in Episode 70, Aaron navigates Brent through the topic of 90s-era Christian Rock by highlighting six songs he grew up listening to. An interesting aspect that Aaron and Brent examine are the parallel media outlets that contemporary Christian music utilized to mirror the mainstream alternative. From books and magazines to a music television channel called "ZTV", echoing the programing of MTV, there was a Christian music equivalent for fans of the genre.
