    The End of an Era: Our Last Show + Is AI Taking Over Your Car?

    This episode was recorded live on Friday, September 4, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.  This week on The Nathan Markley Show, Nathan and his dad Glenn dig deeper into AI's growing role in the automotive world — from cars charging subscription fees to unlock features like the Mustang Mach-E's frunk, to manufacturers collecting and monetizing your driving data, to GM swapping Android Auto for Google's Gemini AI. They also break down what it really means to "own" a modern vehicle.  Plus: a special birthday call-in, this week's Ask a Mechanic email about a 1982 Ford Fairmont carburetor mystery, a Chrysler Pacifica brake pedal sensor recall explained in detail, Uber's layoffs amid the rise of robo-taxis, a Ford Edsel history lesson for This Day in Automotive History, a Jeopardy-style trivia question with a prize pack up for grabs, and a money-saving windshield washer fluid hack. Nathan and Glenn also share an important announcement about the show's future — thank you to everyone who has tuned in this season. Chapters:  00:00 – Intro 03:17 – Do You Really Own Your Car?

    Neutral Gear, Key Fob Hacking & Big Recalls

    This episode was recorded live on Friday, August 7, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.  This week on The Nathan Markley Show, Nathan is joined by his dad Glenn for another Ask a Mechanic segment. They dig into whether you can still push a car in neutral with today's transfer cases and all-wheel-drive systems, why flat-towing without a transfer case can cook your transmission, and what that "key fob battery low" warning on your dashboard actually means. Nathan and Glenn also take a deep dive into the RF technology behind keyless entry — how vehicles are constantly broadcasting a signal to find your key fob, and how you can actually hear it with a simple AM radio. Regular caller Mike from Cranston phones in with extra key fob tips, including hidden center-console antennas and how to jump-start a dead Tesla's 12-volt backup battery. Plus: two major NHTSA recalls (Dodge Ram 1500 seat belt buckles and Ford Explorer/Lincoln Aviator power seats), a "this day in automotive history" look back at Ford and Navistar's short-lived Blue Diamond Truck Company, a listener email about an intermittent license plate bulb warning, and this week's automotive trivia question: what year did a spare tire first become standard equipment on a vehicle?  Chapters: 00:00 – Intro & Welcome 04:01 – Neutral Gear, Flat-Towing & Transfer Cases 11:05 – Key Fob Battery Low Warning 13:37 – RF & Key Fob Hacking Deep Dive 27:19 – Caller Mike from Cranston: Hidden Antennas & Tesla Tips 35:11 – Trivia: First Standard Spare Tire 36:12 – NHTSA Recalls: Dodge Ram 1500 & Ford Explorer/Lincoln Aviator 47:00 – This Day in Automotive History: Blue Diamond Truck Co. 53:07 – Email Q&A: Intermittent License Plate Bulb Warning  Sponsors and Affiliates:  Hillview Auto Body – Johnston, Rhode Island.

    Monster Jam Recap, Sports Photography Tips & the 1990 Indy 500 Pace Car

    This episode was recorded live on Friday, July 31, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.  Nathan and Glenn kick off the show recapping their trip to Monster Jam at Gillette Stadium — from the pit party and meeting drivers to the standing-start drag races, four-wheel steering, and jaw-dropping freestyle tricks like backflips and two-wheel driving. They talk about how the sport has grown, the rise of women drivers, and how fan voting now plays a role in determining freestyle winners. Nathan also debuts a new project: his YouTube channel, Markley Chats. He plays a clip from the first episode, filmed at Beavertail in Jamestown with photographer Norm, answering a listener's question about the best camera and lens setup for capturing baseball and softball action — covering zoom lenses, aperture, ISO, and the exposure triangle. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/frhx-3CEiLA  In Ask a Mechanic, Glenn answers an email from Manny in Woonsocket about why his shop recommended replacing all four tires on his all-wheel drive CR-V instead of just the two worn ones — a deep dive into tread depth, rolling circumference, and power transfer units. Glenn also covers a new Toyota recall affecting the Grand Highlander and Lexus TX over a rear axle carrier manufacturing defect, plus a fascinating aside on how a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan forced Toyota and Honda to briefly halt production. The show wraps with a fun trivia question about the 1990 Indianapolis 500 pace car, answered correctly by a caller: the Chevrolet Beretta.

    21 Weeks Strong: Herbie's Secret Number, the Mazda RX-7's Rotary Engine, and the Dodge Caravan's 42-Year Legacy

    This episode was recorded live on Friday, July 24, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.  On this milestone episode, Nathan and his dad Glenn look back at their favorite moments from the past 20 weeks of the show — engaged callers, the interview with photographer Norm, the Rhode Island Feline Rescue visit, and the very first guest appearance on the show.  Then it's time for Ask a Mechanic: Glenn tracks down why Herbie the Love Bug wears the number 53 (hint: it's a baseball tribute) and explains why Mazda discontinued the RX-7's rotary engine. A new recurring segment debuts too — This Day in Automotive History — kicking off with the Dodge Caravan's fourth-generation launch in July 2000 and a look back at the minivan's 42-year production run. Callers Bill and Mike from Cranston phone in with their own Dodge Colt and Caravan stories, and Mike shares an important safety tip for anyone driving a Tesla. Glenn also answers a listener's email question about why the Honda Ridgeline is classified as a midsize pickup.  Sponsors and Affiliates:  Hillview Auto Body – Johnston, Rhode Island.

    Windows 10 Extended Support, Herbie the Love Bug Trivia & Radio Install Tips

    This episode was recorded live on Friday, July 17, 2026 on WNRI 1380AM & 99.9FM in Woonsocket, RI.  Nathan and Glenn open with a deep dive into Microsoft's decision to extend Windows 10 security support for another year through October 12, 2027, via the free Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. Nathan breaks down who's eligible, how to enroll without paying the $30 fee by syncing a Microsoft account, and what happens behind the scenes when your PC is protected versus left vulnerable. They also touch on whether other antivirus companies can still support aging Windows 10 machines, and tease an upcoming discussion on using Linux to extend the life of older computers.  Glenn opens Ask a Mechanic with a fun trivia question about a late-60s movie starring a racing Volkswagen Beetle — and it doesn't take long for a caller to nail it: Herbie the Love Bug, car number 53. That same caller, a first-time caller, long-time listener named Mark, sparks a great conversation about the Mazda RX-7's rotary engine, the Volkswagen Scirocco, and the infamous Volkswagen "Dieselgate" emissions scandal, including a book recommendation on the subject.  Glenn also follows up on a caller from the previous week regarding 1950s Pontiac Hydra-Matic transmissions that could roll away even in "park," and answers an email from Paul in Lincoln about installing a Bluetooth radio into his 1998 Ford Taurus — covering wiring harness kits, speaker polarity testing with a battery, and keep-alive memory circuits.
