DJ Stashu is the host of Dance With Me, Stanley (on legendary free-form radio station WFMU), a show dedicated to the joys of polka and other musical delights. She joins me to talk about her discovery and love of polka, giving music respect, curation as an act of kindness, novelty music, Dr. Demento, Gordon Thomas, the role WFMU has played in both our lives, and more.
