For anyone who missed it, Prog Magazine has an Internet radio show every Saturday and Sunday, and there are many episodes available to listen to on demand. Of particular interest are the recent shows with guest hosts filling in while Phil Wilding (the normal host) was on vacation. These hosts include Steve Hogarth, Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness (the last two did the show together). It's really interesting to hear the artists' picks and their comments about the songs and artists played.
SW and Mr. Bowness in particular have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of prog, which led to some very interesting discussions, as they rattled off obscure band references at the drop of a hat and drew connections to prog from genres I wouldn't have expected. I also learned things I never knew, like the fact that Steven Wilson was never a huge Genesis fan and didn't know the name of the lead singer of Kansas (but Tim Bowness did). Other shows hosted by Phil Wilding feature interviews with prog heavies like Ian Anderson and Ray Shulman.
