The Prog Mill 490 - 19 October 2025

Edition 490 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (710 in total), first broadcast 19 October 2025, is now available for you to listen to anytime you like or download as a mp3 file. This week I'm joined by David Edwards of The Progressive Aspect who reviews the album 'The Pink Man and the Bishop' by Yak, and our fun proggy quiz invites you to identify five bands who released prog albums in 1986 by hearing a few seconds of each. All part of two hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock including brand new music from the likes of Pinn Dropp, Aufklarung and Homme.

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. PLEASE NOTE - 10pm UK reverts to 2200 GMT/UTC from Sunday 26 October and 6pm UK reverts to 1800 GMT.

Shaun Geraghty

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.
