About this episode
In this “For The People” episode, Nick welcomes The Consumerman, Herb Weisbaum from Checkbook.org, to discuss a variety of consumer issues and stories, including why Americans pay more for prescription drugs than anywhere else, CarShield’s $10 million settlement over advertising charges, and some big news for planning your vacations. Then, Tom Appel from Consumer Guide Automotive joins Nick to talk about the curious case of Chinese Chevys in Mexico, the best time to buy a used EV, and why the Hyundai Hybrid is currently a great value car. They also take a nostalgic look back at the hilarious ad for the 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon. Plus, they round off the episode with another edition of StarSpotter and Mystery Show. [Ep285]
