I sort of think of the car talk guys as one of them the "main" speaker, who is sort of like the straight man and sounds a bit smarter (or at least more well spoken), and the other one as being a bit more comedy relief, and with an infectious laugh.
The one that died is the more comedic one. I had no idea which was which either, so I had to piece it together.

They have been in syndication or whatever for a couple years now. They apparently have quite a bit of material that they recorded but never aired which they are pulling out of the archive. Soemthing like 5 years worth of shows.

I wasn't an entirely devoted fan, but if I were ever driving at the time when they might be on, you can bet that was where my dial was going to stick. And they had a way of doing that to almost anybody who scanned through the radio looking for something to listen to. That's when you're damn good. When it's YOU that attract a portion of your listeners, not necessarily your topic. |

Damn. I would occasionally hear them on NPR. I first listened to them over 20 years ago when my sixth grade teacher mentioned them offhand. It was never appointment listening, but always funny and often informative. I had no idea they were off the air.
