I'm laughing at everyone trying to split hairs over Car Talk in this thread. Most long-running programming on PBS were all "locally produced".
- BeetleB 3y ago> Most long-running programming on PBS were all "locally produced". And I would split hairs with PBS as well :-) As I mentioned in a sibling post, NPR shows are things like "All Things Considered". Stuff like "Fresh Air" and Car Talk are not considered as NPR shows - not even by NPR themselves.
- wannacboatmovie 3y ago> Stuff like "Fresh Air" and Car Talk are not considered as NPR shows - not even by NPR themselves. So when NPR themselves[1] refer to it as "NPR's Car Talk" in official copy, you're saying that is horseshit? You should write to NPR and let them know they are wrong. Also this: Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

- CoastalCoder 3y agoThis makes me nostalgic. I wish I could hear Tom weigh in on this discussion, and then hear Ray talk him down from the ledge.
