captaingamez Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Does anyone listen to the show "Car Talk" On NPR on the weekends?The show is hosted by two brothers, Tom and Ray. Tom passed away today. I listened to it with my dad and grandfather as a kid, and started listening to it again in the last few years, as I usually listen to NPR on weekend mornings. Its been broadcasting reruns for most of that time because of Toms alzheimers. http://www.npr.org/2014/11/03/357428287/tom-magliozzi-popular-co-host-of-nprs-car-talk-dies-at-77 R.I.P. Tom Magliozzi, you will surely be missed. 2 Quote Link to comment

a.d._510_n_ok Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 those guys always sounded like they were having a blast and I never heard them get rude or tacky with anyone. RIP. Quote Link to comment
Longtooth Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I like listening to the show. I thought they retired from it a few years ago and what we listen too was basicly repeats. None the less sad news and a great show,. Quote Link to comment
CGS1948 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 R.I.P. Tom. I've listened to these guys for years. Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Actually they aren't repeats, but 5 years worth of new shows that were pre-recorded. It sounds like they knew he was ailing and they were planning ahead. Doug Berman says the show will go on. I wonder if that means they will exhaust the unaired shows and then do repeats or if someone else will come in and do the show. RIP Tom. 2 Quote Link to comment

JoeCool Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Loved the Car Talk radio show, the Click and Clack weekly newspaper article, and all the short TV appearances. I have followed them on Facebook for years as well. They were funny, and could teach people a lot about cars. Rest in peace Tom Magliozzi. http://www.facebook.com/cartalk http://www.cartalk.com/ Quote Link to comment
