I discovered Car Talk about 15 years ago. My local PBS station has always scheduled it for Saturday morning, far earlier than I'm ever likely to be up. For the first few years I used a portable radio/cassette recorder with a timer function and some C-120 tapes to record the shows. Now, I download the podcasts. Even the re-runs of the past couple of years are wonderful.
As was mentioned on today's Fresh Air, it's especially terrible that someone with Tom Magliozzi's humor and sharp wit should suffer through Alzheimer's disease.
