In our final episode of Season 5 — and just in time for the Christmas season — Chris Christian returns to the podcast to walk John and Tom through the genesis (🛎️), history and timeline of Christian Contemporary Music, or CCM. One of the most interesting musical icons we’ve ever had the pleasure and privilege to interview, Chris is a treasure trove of information, fun facts and backstories.

And DON’T MISS: Our first interview with Chris from Season 3!
