I was in the offices of WBUR Boston's NPR station a few years ago when either Tom or Ray (can't tell them apart) came in and the station marketing mgr introduced him to me. We had a nice chat but you should have seen him skedaddle when I asked him a question about a Weber 32/36;)

NPR is about all I listen to on the radio.

I have lots of good memories of me and my dad taking morning trips listening to car talk on the radio in our pickup or his car. They will be dearly missed.

You and I both. After moving to Florida, we used to go to the swap shop flea markets on saturday. We quickly discovered Car talk on the radio.. loved it. I've heard many a diagnosis on that show over the years which has helped with friends and my own cars.

Listening to the podcast of last saturday's episode right now..
