Is Am Radio Dead?

Ah! Just posted about Click & Clack.

I have heard some here and there, but nothing close to them. :'(

I have heard a station in California (do not know call sign), the motor man, or the motoring man. There was also in Detroit a station where two guys tried to pick up similar like C&C, car show or something.

Those guys were unreasonably entertaining for people who were also so unbelievably knowledgeable about cars. Diagnosed some of the most bizarre things from the tiniest of details.

British guy here: sorry if this is a silly question but are you talking about an actual radio station which is just people talking about repairing cars? That’s so interesting! Nothing like that here. Maybe the odd specialist show once a week like Gardener’s Question Time or whatever.

Mostly, yes! Not quite just talking about repairing cars, but cars in general with a core of repair related stuff. One of them passed away in 2014 and to me the show can't be the same. But you can check out past episodes here: https://www.cartalk.com/radio/browse/

I'm not even remotely a car guy but they're super entertaining. Perhaps one (two) of a kind talent.
