There are few things as reliably joyful as Tom Magliozzi’s laugh. It’s infectious. As I make my way to the market on Sunday mornings, Car Talk lifts up my day, and even in reruns, it has never failed. I didn’t know that brothers Tom and Ray, aka Click and Clack, both graduated from MIT. But it’s not surprising. The show was folksy, but whip smart. My heart opened whenever I listened to Car Talk and it broke hearing the sad news today. Here’s a great idea: In honor of Tom’s passing, the family suggests making a donation to NPR.
