  • Always worth listening to!

    The Progcast has interviews that go beyond the usual „what brand of guitar did you use?“ questions. I love how deep they go and I have come to explore music I hadn’t known before because of these interviews. Good stuff!

  • Origins of progrock

    Great series with great interviews. It gives me context and full insight in all the different kinds of music that led to progrock. Wow! I just started listening form the start, I hope Gregg will do more intermezzos with bits of music from the one interviewed.
