So Long, Car Talk

Beloved duo Click and Clack are calling it quits. Tom and Ray Magliozzi of NPR's hit show Car Talk are retiring in September after 35 years of taping episodes. The show started out as a weekly segment featuring the two MIT-educated brothers and was intended to drum up business for their Boston auto repair shop. The program, which provides honest auto advice peppered with comedy and social commentary, gradually grew into a national hit show with more than 30,000 callers a month. Fans of the show shouldn't fear, NPR plans to continue to re-cut and air past episodes long into the future.
