And yes, if I were to ever win, it would have to be Bill Curtis on my voicemail.

Sorry Peter Sagal.

I miss "Car Talk" terribly.

It was part of my Saturday morning ritual.

I can hum the theme to All Things Considered on command.

I grew up listening to Prairie Home Companion in the car. Either the original Saturday Evening broadcast, which was followed by a local folk music show called Traditions, or the rerun on Sunday afternoons, which was preceded by two BBC shows called My Word and My Music.

These days it’s Wait Wait and This American Life.

And yes, I still feel a stir in my heart when I hear that All Things Considered theme.

Is a "do not miss" for me.

Tom and Ray would have liked this one....
