The Prog Mill 466 – 4 May 2025

Edition 466 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (686 in total), first broadcast 4 May 2025, is now available to listen to anytime you like or even download.

This week I’m joined by Leo Trimming of The Progressive Aspect who reviews the latest Lesoir release ‘Push Back the Horizon’, and (if listening in time) you could win a copy of the new Nova Cascade album on CD or download. All part of course of two hours of glorious 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 – and on your smart speaker.

Saturday Replay – 6pm – 8pm UK (1700 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.
