I believe "Car Talk" was loosely patterned after an earlier show called "Shop Talk" -- both originating in the Cambridge/Boston area. (WBUR maybe?) Shop Talk was a weekly program about audio and featured Peter Mitchell and other experts of the day. Not so much a listener call-in format, but rather a panel discussion about various audio topics. Sometimes had guests from the hi-fi industry.
For a while cassette tape copies of Shop Talk were being distributed via a USPS round-robin scheme. But that was long ago.
I'm old enough to remember this. Which means I'm old enough to have a failing memory . . . So can anyone else verify?
