Ray ‘Clack’ Magliozzi is returning to NPR to host new episodes of “Car Talk” for the network’s NPR+ subscription service.
CarTalk+ will be released on a “semi-quasi-regular basis” with Magliozzi stating, “Whenever I can fit it in between my yoga classes, Mahjong games, and mechanics’ romance book club meetings.”
Magliozzi and his late brother Tom ‘Click’ Magliozzi hosted Car Talk on NPR from 1987 until 2012. He stated, “It’s been really fun to talk to listeners again,” said Ray after recording the first of these new segments. “I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to answer all their questions. Not correctly, but they all got answers.”
NPR+ subscribers also will receive bonus content including producers’ picks of classic Car Talk moments, highlights from Tom’s legendary mail segments, and rare archival gems, including early collaborations with Susan Stamberg from Weekend Edition, recorded before Car Talk officially launched, and more than 800 original Car Talk episodes.
Lance Venta is the founder and publisher of RadioInsight.com. Lance has been covering the radio industry since founding the first radio industry discussion forums in the mid 1990s. He also advises and builds content strategies and web platforms for stations and programs across America.
