Awesome show and podcast

Been listening to these guys on NPR live for years; now it’s the podcast as it is far more convenient (and I moved to Norway.) Click and Clack on-demand! Wit, engineering, strange and beautiful stories and human angles, and above all HUMOR, the good, clever kind, and plenty of it. Even if you don’t really care for car-related talk, even if car repair is the last thing on your mind, chances are you’ll probably love these guys and their show
