THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #606 (“We Made It To March!”) After seemingly the longest February on record, Mike savors the little things… like just making it to March.

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #605 (“Never the twain shall meet…”) Mike curates another show of ‘most uniquely interesting’ music (yes, that’s a euphamism for ‘he certainly plays some crazy schtuff’).

THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #601 (“It’s Coming… Oh, It’s Here?!”) Mike’s back at the helm this week with a lot of new music, a Golden Tracks Album Feature, and no particular theme (that he’s willing to admit). What? You thought he’d change in two short weeks? Silly listeners. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Supertramp – “Just A Normal Day” […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #600B (“TWO From The Vault – #18 and #63 REDUX”) Not a new show this week… but a mash-up of TWO very old resurrected shows from 2013 and 2014 that were only heard on KPTZ when they aired, and have never been heard on Progzilla. So new to Progzilla then. It’s […]
THE PROGRESSIVE TRACKS SHOW #600 (“Happy Insurrection Day”) Mike marks his 600th show for KPTZ, which just happens to fall on a day with another (in)famous 6. 2024 has provided us all with yet another show’s worth of mostly new music, as we hurl headlong toward an uncertain future in 2025.
