Inside The Generator - a VdGG podcast

When Graham Harfleet interviewed me for The Progressive Rock Show on Progzilla Radio, he mentioned that he was about to begin a special VdGG series, where himself, prog fan Chris Clark and The Tangent's Andy Tillison would talk through the band's discography one album at a time, and play selected tracks. Suffice to say, I immediately invited myself onto said series - or podcast, if you will - and Graham kindly allowed me to join the panel. 

​

While Chris is a relative newcomer to VdGG, Andy and Graham are lifelong fans - and Andy in particular has some fantastic anecdotes to tell. Between us, I think we've produced something that's both entertaining and insightful.
