This year marks the goal of Jerry Halkoski to be on Wisconsin polka weekend radio for 35 years: 29 at WTKM in Hartford, 19 years at WYMS, Milwaukee Public Radio, 3 years at WEMP in Milwaukee, and now going on 3 years at WJYI, 1340 AM Milwaukee.

Although he presented "Polonia Polka Hits" for 29 years on WTKM, 1974 to 2003, he had always used the term "Pod Nogi Polkas" for my 19 years of Sunday shows on WYMS, 1983 to 2003. Then on WEMP, he aired "Pod Nogi Polkas" on Saturday and "Ethnic Potpourri" on Sundays.

When Halkoski went to WEMP Sports Talk, he continued to air "Pod Nogi Polkas" as part of "Polka Parade," 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on WJYI. Today, "Pod Nogi Polkas" is broadcast from 10:00-11:00 a.m.

He is the only DJ on "Polka Parade" each week with rotating DJs sharing the 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. hours.

Jerry Halkoski can be heard streaming via the Internet each Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at http://www.joy1340.com .
