Step into the untamed world of high-powered Mexican radio stations that forever changed the soundscape of North America. *The Outlaw Airwaves* tells the true story of the “Border Blasters” — renegade AM radio stations broadcasting across the U.S.-Mexico border in the mid-20th century with outlaw spirit, unregulated power, and revolutionary influence.

Hosted by music historian and storyteller **The Trout**, this podcast dives into:

* The wild history of DJs, evangelists, and pitchmen who became legends

* How stations like **XERF** and **XERB** shaped rock, blues, gospel, and country music

* The rise of larger-than-life personalities like **Wolfman Jack**

* The legal battles, political controversy, and cultural revolution they ignited

If you love stories of rebellion, innovation, and the raw power of radio, *The Outlaw Airwaves* is your backstage pass to a forgotten broadcasting frontier.
