The Spidermobile : The Best of Car Talk

Car Talk’s “Best of Car Talk” episode centers on a case of unusual pest problems after a stolen car was recovered. Heather’s Honda was taken, and soon afterward, she noticed the vehicle was “infested with dozens of black widow spiders.” The episode leans into the theme with Click and Clack’s responses to the situation from an arachnophobic perspective. The short segment also promotes NPR+, encouraging listeners to support public media and mentioning perks including full archive access and sponsor-free listening, along with new call-in bonus episodes featuring Ray. The focus remains on the story and the show’s humor around fear of spiders.
