Border Blaster: In Search of The Wolf
April 1st, 2008 by Steve BowbrickA radio nostalgia special! First, part one of a two-part feature about Wolfman Jack, legendary 1960s DJ who broadcast from a Mexican ‘border blaster‘ and was made famous when he provided the soundtrack for George Lucas’ American Graffiti in 1969 (MP3). Second, a really fascinating Archive Hour from last year about the surprising early years of commercial radio in Britain: God, Pirates and The Ovaltineys (MP3). Third, an hour-and-a-half of memories from 80 years of Irish radio made to mark the closure of the state broadcaster’s medium wave service last week (MP3).
Only the Wolfman doc will show up in the podcast so click the links to listen to the other shows. Border Blaster: In Search of The Wolf, God, Pirates and The Ovaltineys, Medium Wave Goodbye.
