When most of us think about Border Radio, Mexico is the first place that comes to mind. But when Americans think of it, it’s not just Mexico but Canada that counts. In this hour plus-podcast, a guy who wrote his college dissertation on the subject explores Border Radio from both sides of North America.
 
If you have one hour and 12 minutes to spare, exploring the world that once spawned Wolfman Jack may be something you’ll find worthwhile. He talks about the high powered Border Blasters and why they came to be, the snake oil salesmen that allowed them to thrive, and in perhaps my favourite part, he relates the time he was a kid and accidentally heard the CBC on 740 when he was searching for WABC and wondering why it was so boring.
