The Prog Mill 531 - 2 August 2026

Presented by Shaun Geraghty

Edition 531 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (751 in total), first broadcast 2^nd August 2026, is now also available for you to listen to any time you like or even download. As always we bring you another two hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock including a couple of curveballs. This week's proggy quiz invites you to identify five prog albums released in 2025 by hearing just a few seconds of each, and I'll be joined by The Beast of Exmoor who brings us up to date on what's going on in his rather bizarre corner of rural Devon.

You can hear The Prog Mill on Progzilla Radio at these times every week - https://progzilla.com - via the tune in and other internet radio apps and platforms – and on your smart speaker.

Sundays 10pm – Midnight UK (2100UTC/, 2300 Europe, 2pm Pacific US, 5pm East Coast US) main broadcast

Saturday Replay - 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

Your melodic and symphonic progressive rock music suggestions for the show are very welcome. Just email shaun@progzilla.com, or facebook.com/theprogmill

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.
