Progcast - A Johannesburg Underground Music Podcast•www.progcast.co.za

Progcast is a podcast featuring interviews with Johannesburg bands and experts, covering various genres and specializations. To put it another way, Progcast is here to celebrate all that's live, loud, and local. Our mission; to drag the underground out of Jo'burg's smoky bars and into the light of exposure. We give the little guys a platform, celebrate those who've made it, and let the rest of the city know where they can see talent in action.
