Car Talk is a metonym for the humorous work of "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers", Tom and Ray Magliozzi on automobile repair. Originally, Car Talk was a radio show that ran on National Public Radio (NPR) from 1977 until October 2012, when the Magliozzi brothers retired.[2] Since their retirement, the oeuvre now includes a website,[3] and a podcast of reruns that is currently hosted by Apple Podcasts, NPR Podcasts, and Sticher.[4] The Car Talk radio show was honored with a Peabody Award in 1992,[5] and the Magliozzis were both inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2014[6] and the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2018.[7]
