Tom and Ray Magliozzi |
Car
Talk
is a hilarious, fast-paced call-in program in which hosts Tom
and Ray Magliozzi take the fear out of car repair and find the
fun in engine failure. Every week, these uninhibited Boston
brothers dispense automotive first aid and roadside philosophy
to more than 4.1 million listeners on 588 public radio
stations-and the audience is still growing!
