I have about 20 shows recorded on cassette tape from when I lived in the US.

I'd only just recently gotten into the show via the weekly podcast.

Very sad news indeed.

I first heard them via WRN on the Sky analogue sat, on NPR and was hooked for every week after that. Lost connection for a few years, but heard them still plugging away every so often.
Of course, many of the car models they dealt with were unfamiliar to me, but of those ones they mentioned I did know about the shortcomings of, their advice was usually spot-on.

They've put up a new podcast which is composed solely of Tom's best bits.

Within the first 2 minutes I was pretty much in tears laughing.
