Their loss is our gain.
I've been a Car Talk fan for years, ever since I first
discovered Click & Clack during my regular Saturday morning
grocery run. I know nothing about cars, and cared even less, but with
these guys it doesn't much matter. They're classic proof that the
right teacher can make anything interesting. And now they're a
podcast!
So what's with that "their loss" business? Well, when NPR first got
wind of podcasting, there were two approaches. Some shows like
On
The Media and
Wait
Wait... Don't Tell me! got into the spirit of the thing and
began offering their episodes for free download. Others thought there
was money to be made from their content and went the pay route. Well,
as I say, their failed experiment in capitalism is now one more reason
to love the web, podcasting and your MP3 player of choice. Heck, I
even know a little more about cars. Okay, a very little.
