The Other Rock Show

I just thought I recommend this show, which I haven't seen mentioned on progarchives yet:
https://otherrockshow.wordpress.com/
This is presented by Marina Organ, who plays music of which the main qualifying feature is to depart into odd territories from the omnipresent 4/4 time signature. She's keen on all kinds of messing around and doing away with straight and standard song structures while still rocking (more or less) hard.
Her favourite band apparently are the Cardiacs and much of what she plays has some punk/post punk aesthetic to it, with a focus on music from the mid eighties onwards including very recent things, but she also played Tarkus honoring Keith Emerson in the latest show, and mixes some 70s music in at times. As you might expect from her obsession with time signatures, a significant portion is devoted to Math Rock. On the other hand she doesn't appear to be keen on much of modern prog metal, probably because it's often too polished and formulaic. She plays a good share of obscure and hardly known stuff, so it's great for discoveries.  
It's one of my favourite shows and highly recommended.
