NPR's 'Car Talk' Duo Putting on Brakes
After 25 years, the chatty pair of mechanic brothers from Boston are calling it quits
Sad news out of Boston today: Tom and Ray Magliozzi, better known as the Saturday morning radio mechanics on NPR's Car Talk, are calling it quits, the Associated Press reports.
The show is heard locally on WEPS (Elgin, 88.9 FM), WNIJ (DeKalb, 89.5 FM) and WBEZ (Chicago, 91.5 FM).
The show will continue to air in reruns, but after 25 years of giving at once useful and hilarious advice on car maintenance to callers with every manner of malfunction, no new episodes will be produced. Older brother Tom is 74 years old, while Ray is 63.
