Hi KWMR Round Up subscribers. Hope you are all having a great day and enjoying this lovely November summer weather.

First off, sorry for the confusion - Marc Matheson got another job with more hours and is moving on from KWMR. He will still be programming his great shows. 

Please blab, be a big mouth, brag, flap your lips, yack, and go on and on and on about how much you love community radio. Tell your friends. Tell them that it is our pledge drive. Talk loudly about it in line at the market. Let them know you are a Calendar Club member (if you are, if you aren't why not become one). Pretend it's the hottest rumor in town. Shout it from one of the many mountain tops that we have in our topographical area.

We will need everyone's help to make this $40K goal for this Pledge Drive - so Go Nuts! 415-663-9050 or kwmr.org

Squirrel....what was that I just said?

Death in the Radio Family

Death in the Radio Family: A Salute to Tom Magliozzi of "Car Talk"

Living in West Marin, sometimes I hide the fact that I'm a yank. But today I'll admit that I am what I am: an East Coast girl with all the trimmings of a Massachusetts upbringing - cross-country ski trips, muggy summer camps, a trunk full of v-neck sweaters and an abiding love of the NPR radio show "Car Talk."


I've gotten a lot of flack for loving "Car Talk." I mean, it's a show where two men make fun of callers and their poor choices in cars, and often life, while cackling with laughter. But this morning when I awoke to a pile of emails from friends and family back east, I felt the pride of my inner Bostonian momentarily puff up. Yesterday, another Bostonian, Tom Magliozzi of "Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers" passed away, and it's as if we've lost a hero. Like many "Massholes" as we are blithely called, I grew up with our local NPR radio station, WBUR (which, I would like to point out, started as a scrappy community station just like KWMR) and I am endowed with a blur of childhood memories involving my dad, the little radio we had on a plywood shelf in the kitchen, and the lowbrow pleasures of listening to "Car Talk." I didn't grow out of "Car Talk," though - I continued to listen through high school, and even in college. I caught it once while driving home for winter break and had to pull over because I was laughing so hard.

So here's to Tom Magliozzi, master of the airwaves and unabashed yank. "Car Talk" has gone down in NPR history as the most popular show it has ever aired, and I am damn proud of it!

More on the magic and mayhem of "Car Talk" here:
