2012-07-25: As was announced on the show tonight, a new review is available! The record in question is the sophomore attempt from District 97, Trouble with Machines, and it has been reviewed by both Nick and Mason. 2012-07-18: First off, my apologies for the lack of a show last week. The server which broadcasts the show unfortunately went down. As the week before that was Independence Day, tonight was the first show in 3 weeks, and I want to thank everyone who came out to help the show get back into the swing of things! As I mentioned during the show, there will be several new reviews coming soon, so keep an eye on this page! 2012-07-06: Fun fact, July is also known as the month in which the "next few days" actually means in over a week! The tardiness aside, the interview with Oceans of Night main man Scott Mosher is now online! 2012-06-27: As was mentioned on air, there will be no show next week, July 4th. The show will return on July 11th. However those two weeks won't be completely idle, as Nick will be interviewing Scott Mosher from Oceans of Night tomorrow night. Keep an eye on the site for that to appear in the next few days. 2012-06-21: Another day, another review! Today's installment is Mason's take on the new Circus Maximus album Nine.

chatting over the past few weeks, and to all those who have signed up
for the email list (in info page) and become loyal podcast regulars!
2012-06-02: In order to give everyone a better introduction to
new contributor Mason Rouser, I've added a staff bio page to the site
here. In addition we've created a new grading
rubric to use going forward here. With a
doctor/professor in the house it's only fitting we throw away the
numbers and let hand down letter grades. 2012-05-30: As was talked about on tonight's show, please
welcome Mason Rouser (DTVT) to the When Prog and Power Unite family!
Mason will be contributing reviews to the site, and his first will come

check out the newest of Sonata Arctica's Stones Grow Her Name. 2012-03-21: As announced on the show, the bad news is that there will be no show next week, March 28th.

I hope all the regular listeners are able to join us at the new day and time! 2011-12-14: Long time no update! After some time off the show finally returned for a broadcast this past Monday but had to be cut short due to technical difficulties. I've been working the past two days to fix this and so we should be good to go next week. I have updated the site to include this years album of the year poll which can be found here.

If you have any info or suggestions for us, or you are a station looking to host the program please send an email to info@wpapu.com.

Finally we also announced that we will be taking user requests for 2010's intro medley, stay tuned for more information on that. 2009-11-02: There's going to be a little change in the way the show will be run. We'll be trying to make the show a little looser, and one of the ways I'll be doing that is by removing the two special features of the show, the essential epic and the obligatory ballad. In the future epic and ballad requests will be more easily filled, and in general they will be played more freely, as opposed to only once a show. 2009-11-01: Looks like we're in for a big change here at When Prog and Power Unite. First off there will be no show this Monday, November 2nd. Next, when we return on Monday, November 9th the show will have moved to a new home at Dementia Radio. The owners of Dementia have been close friends for many years, and we have decided to move to help them as they bring their stream back online after a fourteen month absence. We would like to thank Metal Messiah Radio for hosting the show previously and for their additional help. We wish them the absolute best and hope everyone will still pop in over there for any programs of interest. We hope all our listeners will help us out during this time of transition, as it will be a fresh start for both this show, and our new station. Early support will be greatly appreciated! Over the next week we will be revamping the site a bit, replacing banners and updating links. Thanks again to Metal Messiah Radio, thank you to our new station, Dementia Radio, and see everybody on November 9th! 2009-10-19: Site updated with tonight's show.
