CAR TALK: LIVE FROM THE PUBLIC RADIO CONFERENCE IN
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (RADIO)
Summary
One in this Peabody Award-winning series of radio programs about automobile repair and maintenance. Rambunctious Boston brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi, known as "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers," host this weekly one-hour call-in program, fielding questions from car owners and dispensing advice intended to solve their automotive problems. On this program, conducted before a live audience at the Public Radio Conference in San Antonio, TX, the madcap duo answers phone calls and questions from audience members, including fellow public radio personalities Terry Gross and Ray Suarez. Topics discussed include the following: why the brothers hate cars manufactured in France; the likelihood of a 1963 Dodge Dart surviving a trip up the east coast of the United States and Canada; Tom's most embarrassing moment while driving; and their contention that the Alamo had been relocated from San Antonio to Dallas. Also includes their staple auto-related riddle known as the "puzzler."
