The live broadcast airs through our parent station at www.progrock.com on Wednesday nights from 5-8pm Central (6-9pm Eastern, 10am-1am UTC). We invite all to come out to chat and make requests.

Another year, another new prog festival. Now in its second year I got to visit ProgStock in Rahway, NJ for the first time this past weekend. Myself and many friends were drawn by the rare chance to see IQ stateside. We ended up seeing a variety of amazing music, with Read More...
Sorry for the wait! Going forward I’m going to try (I know, said it before!) to do this on something of a more regular basis, hopefully monthly, which exact days and times announced closer to the actual show times. In any case thank you everyone who joined us for the Read More...
