The Prog Mill 423 – 23 June 2024

Edition 423 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (643 in total), first broadcast 23 June 2024, is now also available to listen to anytime or download. Another two hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock. This week I’m joined by Leo from The Progressive Aspect who reviews the recent Riverside live gig in Bristol, and our fun quickfire quiz invites you to identify five pop songs which have proggy sections by hearing just a few seconds of each. All part of course of two hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock.

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, 2300 Europe, 2pm Pacific US, 5pm East Coast US) main broadcast

Saturday Replay – 6pm – 8pm UK (1800 UTC/1900 Europe, 10am Pacific/1pm Eastern).

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.
