Click and Clack exit; 'Car Talk' ending live NPR show after 25 years


"Car Talk," the venerable NPR program featuring brothers Ray and Tom Magliozzi, a.k.a. Click and Clack, is calling it quits -- at least as far as live shows go.

The Boston-based brothers, who turned their experience as mechanics into one of public radio's most beloved programs,  informed listeners Friday morning with their signature winking style in a blog post titled: "Time to Get Even Lazier."

"The good news is that, despite our general incompetence, we actually remembered to hit the 'record' button every week for the last 25 years," Tom Magliozzi said, adding that the show will continue in reruns pulled from more than 1,200 programs, beginning in October.

Oh well.  At least there's reruns.

One of my fave memories is traveling to brass band rehearsal on Saturday mornings listening to those guys.

"Well, you've managed to squander an otherwise useful hour..."

Great guys....radio was the perfect medium for what they do.

I love that show.  Everyone I know loves that show.  Work stops, if possible, to get near a radio and listen to those guys.
