“I love Car Talk and listened to the boys every Sunday when our local station played them. This is the only podcast I pay extra for. That said, for those of us that pay for CarTalk+, the ads should be omitted. I still love the show and will continue to pay AND skip past the ads.”

“Tom made some excellent shows with his brother Ray, I have to say, even after years of him not being here, just listening to reruns is great!! I am so content, entertained, and sometimes even informed when I listen to it! I still remember the day the news broke he had passed, we lost something...”Read full review »

“NPR has totally ruined the Car Talk podcast over the past few years. I’m a subscriber so I have access to the many versions of Car Talk, but I promise, all we really want this the archive, in order, full length episodes, from oldest to newest. All these feeds like “rust buckets” and “family...”Read full review »

“You have to respect Tom and Ray. For all their shameless commerce, their show and useful website were always free to access. Car Talk should be a public good.”

“Informative and fun- especially when a caller vocally describes a noise that their car makes. I wish I could call Tom & Ray to describe a noise my Honda makes which sounds like Ayesha Rascoe.”

“So good! I have an 1897 Jeep Fiesta with a 13 cylinder engine and 1 wheel drive. It has 8.3 bil miles and gets 304 miles per gallon, but the transmission keeps banging when I get above 12 kilometers per hour. Can you help?”

“By far my absolute favorite thing to listen to… Quite literally the only thing I can stomach on NPR, and from the sound of the commercials during the show, things are only getting worse. Shame, I used to listen regularly, but the idiot ideologies are off the rails. Defund NPR.”

“Apple got too big for its britches or maybe it’s NPR. They want to charge you now so we can’t even listen!? It was fine when you released two episodes a week for free. I’m not going to support this any longer. I hope you lose all your patronage trying to make more money.”

“I’m happy to cough up a little cash to keep listening to this gem. Not an issue of greed…it’s just like paying to watch an old movie you love.
This show bring me back to a better time and I just love these two to bits.”

“I have loved Car Talk since my long lost youth. I do not, however, love the edited version now offered. It ruins the rhythm of the show and manages somehow to make it less funny. Please bring back the full unexpurgated shows. I might be willing to pay for a subscription to that.”

“Why are these episodes a lot shorter than the ones that were originally recorded? Seems like additional work for the staff to cut out portions of the program. Still funny shows, just less.”

“This podcast is absolutely the best automotive show out there! A good listen for anyone, even if you don’t care about cars because Tom and Ray are very humorous.
The bottom line:
if you want entertainment, and like laughing, this is for you. If you like automotive related stuff, even better.”

“Love the show enough to pay a subscription, but can’t justify when the episodes have been cut from the full hour to a “modified” format (unsure if this was for copyright or for NPR “political correctness”). Hey NPR: bring back the full episodes and we’ll pay to listen.”

“My dad and I love listening to car talk while on road trips and the four show rotation just isn’t enough. There are so many tv shows on rerun on cable that costs far more than the $30 annual car talk subscription. Totally worth it as my subscription helps support NPR and the shows I love.

“Great show tha I've listen to since the 80's. This was funded by PBS, so disappointing you can no longer listen without paying. I've supported PBS for many years, had hope this podcast would have remained free for all to enjoy. Guess profit is more important than loyal 40 year plus...”Read full review »
