    Touch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal. Maybe it was just coincidence, but Bill Hill - who used to run the spectacular Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs - can see dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic "touch." The trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful and an assortment of media leeches. But everyone who's looking to put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise - because Juvenal's got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    This week on Car Talk, Barry's holiday road trip through South Carolina got more exciting when his wife noticed the road behind them was on fire.

Also, have you ever heard of a Himalayan Exhaust Transfusion? Neither have we, but it might be a great way to start a dead car on a cold day. Or, it could just be a wacko theory. And, our on-call Physics Professor Wolfgang checks in on the great drafting debate. All this and more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: January 25, 2014] Language: English.

    This week on Car Talk, Santa comes through big-time for Tom and Ray in their never ending quest to escape difficult callers. They're now the proud owners of the Get Off the Phone Excuse Machine, and it's likely to get an early test, thanks to Nancy and the Tupperware-like noise coming from her Volvo. Elsewhere, desperate times call for wacko measures, as Jamie considers plugging a cracked head with oatmeal; Mark ponders giving his Suburban a full drive-train transplant into a new body; and Julie goes shopping for any car that can survive her husband's aversion to the emergency brake.

    Car Talk, Who Moved My Alamo, March 3, 2012, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    This week on Car Talk, Ray unleashes perhaps his best wacko conspiracy theory of all time--the relocation of the Alamo, and his own unsuccessful attempts to rectify the situation. This all takes place as Kelly from San Antonio waits to find out if her fiance's promiscuous use of a plug-in seat massager is responsible for her car's drop in gas mileage. Elsewhere, Marshall's Jeep is making a strange clunking sound, akin to being hit from behind by a Nerfmobile; Debbie's clutch is whistling a tune laden with hints of boat payments to come; and on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Eddie in New Hampshire got his truck started. All this, plus a creative, if incredibly insincere wedding invitation, and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: March 3, 2012] Language: English.
