True enough.  However, it should provide programming not available
elsewhere in the commercial market.  News programs, believe it or not,
air on commercial stations.

I think it's a fine show.  I question why it has to be on public radio.
I mean, there *are* car programs on talk radio.  So why is this on public
radio, other than its creators want it there? Why give them precious time?
