For Immediate Release
Brand New Polka Radio Show Debuts in Northwest Ohio!
Contact: David J. Jackson, 419-787-2946 and [email protected]

A brand new Polish-American style polka radio show made its debut on Sunday April 10th from 8:00AM to 10:00 AM on WXUT, 88.3FM and on-line at www.wxut.com. Host David J. Jackson promises the show will provide lively Polish-American style polkas, waltzes and obereks, as well as some Slovenian and other ethnic polkas.

“Plus, we’ll throw in some Polish folk and pop music just to keep things interesting,” Jackson said.

Jackson is no stranger to polka radio, formerly hosting broadcasts in Detroit and Saginaw, Michigan. This is his first visit to the radio airwaves of northwest Ohio, however.

Jackson is an associate professor of political science at Bowling Green State University, and has traveled extensively in Poland, including teaching for a semester on a Fulbright Fellowship at the University of Lodz, in Central Poland. His book about that experience is entitled, “Classrooms and Barrooms: An American in Poland.”

I lost my kielbasa down the sewer...I lost my kielbasa down the drain. Since I lost my kielbasa, my heart has felt nothing but pain...

Who stole the Kishka?....

WBGU-FM didn't have an opening? There wasn't one death metal kid who didn't want his slot next semester?

Sounds like a fun show. Break a leg.

Polish blues? Wasn't that by Little Walter Kowalski with Shorty Walenza on harp?

WBGU may have had an opening, but WXUT has a larger potential audience through the airwaves...

Yeah, I hate to go watch Woodward play football. Sight lines are terrible. In that stadium every seat is behind a Pole.

Well, the Poles have largely abandoned Lagrange, but they sure come back in force for the festival in July. A can't-miss good time!

I think they're the Polar Bears, not the Cardinals...
