Podcast - The Prog Mill edition 298 (30 January 2022)

Edition 298 of THE PROG MILL - first broadcast 30 January 2022, is now also available to listen to anytime or download. Two hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock. You can test your knowledge of the world of prog in our fun quick fire quiz as we ask "How Proggy Are You?!" (this week it's another "guess the intro" edition), and this week's album review from The Progressive Aspect sees David Edwards taking a listen to Mostly Autumn's latest - Graveyard Star.

And this show also marks the 40th anniversary of my very first foray into presenting radio shows. Yes I obviously started as a toddler on Nursery FM!

Shaun Geraghty

Shaun has been a radio presenter since 1982, starting in pirate radio broadcasting across Europe from an aerial strung between trees in the forests of Staffordshire. Soon after, he became a regular presenter and member of the management team at Hospital Radio Stafford, staying there for 32 years and receiving long service awards. Shaun also worked extensively in local community radio in Staffordshire on several stations including Stafford FM, Stone FM, Chase FM and Smart Radio. When Stafford Radio, an online community radio station started broadcasting from a 220 year old windmill in 2011, Shaun began presenting 'The Prog Mill' (the name inspired by the station's unique base). Stafford Radio became Windmill Radio before closing in 2016, when 'The Prog Mill' became part of Progzilla Radio. The Prog Mill leans towards the melodic and symphonic side of progressive rock, and includes regular album reviews from our friends at The Progressive Aspect, CD Giveaways, and a regular fun quickfire quiz.
