I miss Car Talk dearly and have wished for a reboot/modern version of it on more than a few occasions. Anyone have recommendations for a contemporary show with a similar bent? The fact that it was a car show hardly mattered, I just loved listening to those guys riff.

It's very different, but similar in many ways. The closest thing that I currently consume to them is the youtube content from the Vlog Brothers, Hank and John Green. They don't talk about cars, but they do have a similar back and forth. Their format is a bit different, they each have channels where they publish weekly videos to eachother. They are basically formatted as little video diary posts to eachother. They've done an amazing job of sharing their humanity and helping others with theirs. Recently Hank has gone through Cancer treatment and thankfully remission, they've shared that whole experience in a very human, wholesome way. They also work to fight for things like tuberculosis treatment in Africa, etc.
