So her SiriusXM show was done from her home in Cleveland? Or maybe from the Hall of Fame, where I believe SXM has a studio?

I'm sure there are also lots of home studios. They used to have a studio at Lincoln Center, but closed it during covid.
I saw that Dusty passed away in Oregon, so I don't think she lived in Cleveland.

"Over the last two decades, Street had been in Cleveland —
working out of the fifth floor at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame —
as a DJ for SiriusXM, most recently on the Deep Tracks station."

If she died in Oregon, maybe she had an apartment in Cleveland during the work week.
Scroll down to to P. 42 of this PDF from CSU Northridge to learn how she got her name (and how she wound up with a draft notice because of it).

That's almost funny. How much do you think SXM pays?
Thank you. I should have linked that myself.
