Episode 150: Sound Chaser 318

The Sound Chaser Progressive Rock Podcast is on the air. The show this time is my annual birthday gift to myself shows, wherein I select some of my favorite listening in the prog rock and related genres. It is not merely a tour of the classics, though there are a few of those. It also includes some favorites from lesser known artists and some more recent music that has caught my attention in the past year or so, including a couple of selections from the most recent album by Big Big Train. So, climb aboard as we take a ride through a musical fantasy land.
