Progressive Rock Show on Mixcloud I did this for four or five years until I moved out of state. As all of the above are Progressive Rock artists. Peace! Julie, PRN

Prog Rock Nation is a Progressive Rock radio show that airs on KTAL-LP 101.5 FM, Las Cruces, NM USA on Saturday nights 8-10pm MST/MDT and again on Sunday mornings 3-5am MST/MDT. KTAL-LP also has a live stream https://tunein.com/radio/KTAL-LP-s299277/ or lccommunityradio.org/stream.html so you can listen no matter where in the World you are. My introduction to Progressive Rock was via the Prog Roc

k single “Roundabout” by the iconic Prog band Yes, I was just around 8 or 9 yrs old at the time and fell in love with the guitar intro and that prominent trebby jazzy funky swirling bass line. Although a generally quiet person, as I had a lifelong love for music as well as radio, I coerced myself into becoming a radio DJ and volunteered as such at a community radio station in Albuquerque, NM during the 80s. This passion to play music for the masses never waned, however, and I started my podcast, Progkast, in February of 2016. Progkast is an all independent artist podcast and is available through most podcast outlets and is hosted at www.soundcloud.com/progkast. My goal at Prog Rock Nation is to indulge those that are already into Prog, as well as to pull in new listeners who may not be all so familiar with the genre. If you like Pink Floyd, Rush, or TransSiberian Orchestra, you will like some of what I play. You may have liked it all along and never knew it! Jazz Fusion, Psychedelic, Experimental, Symphonic, Experimental... all these are subgenres or near genres (influencing Prog) of Progressive Rock.

Wow Prog Rock Nation and Progkast both released within days of each other - that's gotta be a first! Found this from way back when... the early days of the Progkast, the all independent Progressive Rock podcast. I am at exactly the same spot and could have written this same exact thing this morning! If you like PRN, but are interested in discovering new music, new bands, things you won't hear most anywhere else, check out the latest Progkast( #48), just released, and also now on Youtube.

Facebook, from June 2016 (First Progkast was in February):

"Call me a freak, but I am really excited about the next podcast. I have most of the playlist gathered, just a few more to add. The music is amazing. I have culled most of the music from independent artists that I have contacted. And most of it is new stuff. Music is like a drug for me... and putting it together in a cohesive bundle is a high.... and exposing this musical bundle of goodness to the masses... even a better high.. 😮 Looking for a release date somewhere around the 22nd."

Finally.... after a few months of sickness (even still, but slightly controlled), more months of busi-ness, and then procrastination, finally, I have released the latest PRN. 💁‍♀️ Big Big Train, Flower Kings, Arabs in Aspic, Monarch Trail, Emerald City Council, Samurai of Prog, Chronicles of Father Robin

Getting out a new show, hopefully this week. New means ALL new. Since I've been out of commission for awhile, my incoming music box has become quite filled. Some is from as far as 6 months back... so new, and semi-new? 😁 Anyway, it's all good. Music from the Flower Kings, Monarch Trail, Arabs in Aspic (ReRelease with new vocals), Emerald City Council, Samaura of Prog, and more.

03/06/2024

If you are an artist and have contacted me recently... or even in the past few months... I have been sick and haven't really checked or followed up on messages for a time, and they've gotten a bit piled up. I will soon be checking them soon, and following up, as I can. If you don't hear from me within the next week or so, please feel free to recontact, so that your message will appear at the top as "new". Thanks :D

Hey ya'll, was planning on getting a new PRN done this month. Have received lots of new music to throw down, but don't know if I'm going to get a new show done this month. Have been sick for a over a month now and still counting. Not totally debilitated, but still having issues with my throat, not sleeping much, and have been in sort of a slump. Just not feeling up to do a whole lot. Basically, my life's been on hold for the past month as I sort of veg away 🙁 Am bummed cus it's been awhile... So maybe there'll be a last minute squeeze before the month ends....

On this week's PRN, the last PRN that is going to be broadcast on KTAL-LP 101.5 FM (Las Cruces) or lccommunityradio.org - at least for awhile, a long while... is going to be broadcast tomorrow (Saturday) at 8pm US-MT and Sunday at 3am US-MT.
On this show: New Hats Off Gentlemen It's Adequate, and new Flower Kings, plus Caravan, White Willow, Jethro Tull, The Beatles, and Yes.

Don't forget that PRN will still be available at mixcloud 'dot' com/prog_rock_nation . I'll be uploading as many of my previous Halloween shows as I can find 😳And after Halloween (maybe before?) I will start loading the oldest shows- as far back as I can find - one by one - leaving each one on mixcloud for several weeks. I can only have 10 loaded at a time, so they'll be rolling out slowly. And, I also plan on doing new shows.

PRN isn't over, it's just taking a breath of fresh air, and not ON the air (but for the occasional specialty show aired on KTAL). So new shows will be posted monthly or bi-monthly (maybe tri-monthly) on Mixcloud. If all goes right. This will include music from my library, as well as new releases as they are sent to me, along with, of course, independent artists. And don't forget the all independent progressive rock podcast, Progkast.

Sad news, but not the end of the world. Prog Rock Nation will no longer have a regular weekly broadcast on KTAL-LP FM. I am taking some much needed time off of the show. I've been doing this show for 6 years, and I need to get on to other things in my life. Next week's show (Saturday 23rd) will be the last "regular" show aired on KTAL.

What will happen is I will no longer be doing a scheduled weekly show with a deadline.... and instead will do random shows that will be posted on mixcloud.com/prog_rock_nation . I will also be doing random specialty shows that will be aired on KTAL-LP FM, such as the yearly Halloween special, possibly my Tony Stratton-Smith yearly special, and things like that... and possibly end of year top albums again some time in the future. I will be posting these show airings and releases here on this page, so keep an eye out.

Also, don't forget I have a podcast, www.soundcloud.com/progkast , that currently is randomly released. I did one this year, and will be releasing another one next week. This is an all independent prog podcast.

Anyway, so I'll be working less, but still working... to bring some excellent prog to the masses.

Peace ✌️ Julie

My introduction to Progressive Rock was via the Prog Rock single “Roundabout” by the iconic Prog band Yes, I was just around 8 or 9 yrs old at the time and fell in love with the guitar intro and that prominent trebby jazzy funky swirling bass line. After 40 and something odd years (closing in on 50 very very quickly), I am still not tired of hearing this song (preferably the “long” version, and NOT the single version at this time however :D ). Since then I’d been picking up Progressive Rock albums whenever or however I could. This usually meant flea markets, garage sales, and secondhand stores. As Prog was not my only interest as far as music, I accrued many other styles of music as well, but Prog makes up the majority of my music collection.

Although a generally quiet person, as I had a lifelong love for music as well as radio, I coerced myself into becoming a radio DJ and volunteered as such at a community radio station in Albuquerque, NM during the 80s. I did this for four or five years until I moved out of state.

This passion to play music for the masses never waned, however, and I started my podcast, Progkast, in February of 2016. Progkast continued until the last episode in August 2018. Progkast was an all independent podcast, playing music from unsigned, generally unknown Progressive Rock artists, or even artists on small record labels. Due to the nature of Progkast and the time involved for “discovery” of new artists, as well as waiting to hear back from artists for permission and downloads, I retired Progkast, at least for the time being, due to time constraints.
