The Prog Mill 408 – 10 March 2024

Edition 408 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (628 in total), first broadcast 10 March 2024, is now also available to stream on demand or download. As always we bring you two hours of fantastic melodic and symphonic progressive rock. This week I’m joined by Leo Trimming of The Progressive Aspect who reviews ‘Dreams, Myths & Machines’ by Retreat From Moscow, and our fun quickfire quiz invites you to identify five of the bands who played Fusion last week by hearing a few seconds of each.

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 (2200UTC) – main broadcast

Repeated Wednesdays 5am – 7am UK (0500 UTC) – for The Americas/Far East/Australasia (Tuesdays 9pm Pacific US/Midnight Eastern US) and Saturdays 6pm – 8pm UK (1800 UTC/1900 Europe, 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern).

Please note: For the next 2 weeks US broadcast times will be one hour later due to the difference in changing to Summer time.

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.
