The difference is that a lot of people didn't listen to "Car Talk" for the car advice--they listened for the banter between the Magliozzis and the callers. In some cases, it was people who didn't own cars, although I suspect that the most active non-car users of the public radio audience (as in radical activist groups) hated "Car Talk" and would've preferred a local DJ playing folk music or "Alternative Radio" presenting a Noam Chomsky lecture instead. But they also want "Democracy Now!" instead of "Morning Edition"--and no other national programming except for perhaps "Free Speech Network News."
