Along with husband and partner in crime A.P. (real name Mike Salamone), Stella made a name for herself with a number of shows on WRUW that blended aggressive musical stylings with political commentary from far right field. The pair’s latest show, Domestic Decay, was featured on Wednesday nights from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
