Progtastic: The Prog Rock Show is the natural home for progressive rock music and its manifold roots and branches.
From the hub of the universe, also known as Bradford on Avon, DJ Mike will be on hand to guide you through the labyrinthine multi-realms of progressive rock as well as a smattering of related genres such as psychedelia, space rock, progressive metal, neo-prog, jazz fusion, art rock and experimental weird stuff that no one really knows what category it belongs to. So pull up your preferred choice of comfy chair, strap into your favourite listening pants and tune in for an hour of unparalleled aural magnificence.
