The Prog Mill 377 (6 August 2023)

Edition 377 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (597 in total), first broadcast 6 August 2023, is now also available to stream on demand or download. Two hours of superb melodic & symphonic progressive rock. This week I’m once again joined by Leo Trimming of The Progressive Aspect who reviews ‘The Who Eden Sessions’ – The Who’s recent sellout concert at the Eden Project in Cornwall, and you can test your memory of prog albums from 1972 in our fun, quickfire quiz.

You can hear The Prog Mill on Progzilla Radio at these times every week (www.progzilla.com/listen – via the tune in and other internet radio apps and platforms – or ask your smart speaker to “Play Radio Progzilla on Tune-In”)

Sundays 10pm – Midnight UK (2100UTC) – main broadcast

Repeated Wednesdays 5am – 7am UK (0400 UTC) – for The Americas/Far East/Australasia (Tuesdays 9pm Pacific US/Midnight Eastern US) and Saturdays 6pm – 8pm UK (1700 UTC/1900 Europe, 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern).

Plus: A podcast of the show which you can stream anytime or download as a mp3 file is normally online by Monday evening each week, with links here and at progzilla.com/podcasts

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.
