Justin Gage on 20 years of Aquarium Drunkard.

We close out the 10th season of Transmissions with a special look under the good with Justin Gage, who founded Aquarium Drunkard 20 years ago in 2005. Initially envisioned as just a place to share cultural recommendations with this friends, Aquarium Drunkard blew up as the blog rush began. Suddenly, Gage found himself running a respected media outlet. 20 years later, he joins host Jason P. Woodbury to discuss how Aquarium Drunkard has stayed true to the maxim of only the good shit. In this frank back and forth, the two colleagues share how an ethos that puts music and deep engagement with it at the forefront feels like a counter-cultural endeavour in this day and age, and how they've managed to keep in touch with the love of art that initially inspired Aquarium Drunkard. We hope you have enjoyed the 10th season of this show. Up next from Aquarium Drunkard's podcast department? All One Song, in which host Tyler Wilcox (Prairiewolf, Doom and Gloom from the Tomb) sits down with a musician to discuss a single Neil Young song. The podcast will appear in this very feed later this summer.
