In a new feature to Aesthetic Magazine, we are proud to announce a collaboration with Toronto-based writer/photographer/podcast host Adam Harrison and his new show, The Adamantium Podcast, which features local and celebrity guests engage in casual conversations on art, culture, and entertainment.

On our season finale episode of The Adamantium Podcast, we are joined by Canadian radio broadcaster and music journalist, Alan Cross. We talk about the origins of his love of music, how he got his start in broadcast, and why his 800+ episode show, The Ongoing History of New Music, breaks all the rules of radio. We also discuss the power of streaming, why rock n’ roll songs don’t make the Top 40 charts, and his response to the claim that “rock is dead.”
