If you have either a car, a Dad or a family, then you will love this show! “Click & Clack” are always great on NPR, and this tape/CD compiles some of their best calls & rants loosely arranged around the themse of cars, Dad’s & families.

These guys are something else. Yeah I know a lot of it is planned in advance, but it is none-the-less good for a good laugh. They are the only two I can think of who can laugh at their own jokes and have it all come out as real. Really a pleasure to listen to.
