IF YOU HAVE A POLKA RADIO SHOW AND I HAVE NOT LISTED YOU HERE (and I know there are LOTS) please email me with the specifics and I will list you. It is my intention to include EVERYONE. Just as it will take some time to get all the polka bands in the band listings, this too is a work in progress and will be updated as I get info.
