The ProgCast With Gregg Bendian Progressive music and thought in all its forms I'm drummer/composer/producer/educator Gregg Bendian, host of The ProgCast. Over the last nine years I've interviewed over 100 of America's most innovative musicians for the Yale Oral History of American Music. I'm expanding my focus to include a podcast where I can converse freely with progressive music's most fascinating and accomplished figures.
