Can DJ Shotski Save Polka From Aging Out?

I met DJ Shotski (Stacy Harbaugh) through her Substack home called Shotski’s Lodge. Her posts immediately attracted my attention because she does something that no one else I know does:

She produces radio shows, videos, and articles featuring the glory of … polka!

And not just any polka, Stacy specializes in Dutchmen-style polka from Wisconsin. Talk about a niche topic! For a musical genre with an aging population, she is the young voice ushering in the next generation of fans. Is her passion contagious? It was for me!

Stacy’s love of polka shines through in her branding, which looks like a European beer label. Her articles and videos spotlight the cultural aspects of polka such as dancing, lodges, beer gardens, beer drinking, and yes, vinyl. Lots and lots of vinyl.

If a polka party breaks out in Wisconsin, she’s on the scene with two turn tables and a microphone!

Thea’s Magic Mind Story

In this podcast episode, I share my experience with a new liquid supplement called Magic Mind. Menopause has caused issues with fog brain and low energy levels— like how you feel after following your favorite band for weeks without ample sleep or homemade food! So when Magic Mind contacted me to try it with a consideration fee, I said yes in spite of my skepticism.

You’ll see from the podcast story that I was pleasantly surprised about the results. So much so, that I asked Magic Mind to create a discount code for Herizon Music fans. And they came through!
