Polka Radio: Stations Playing Polka and Brass Live

Published 26 September 2026

You can listen to polka radio online in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM, search for a station's name, and press play. Polka lives on in the American Midwest and in the brass-band traditions of Central Europe, and both have stations online.

A little history

Polka began as a Bohemian dance in the 1830s and swept the ballrooms of Europe. Emigrants took it to the American Midwest, where Frankie Yankovic's Slovenian-style bands and Polish-American polka made Cleveland, Milwaukee and Chicago its capitals — the Grammys even had a Best Polka Album award from 1986 to 2009. Slovenian radio, Polish radio and schlager radio go further.
