About this episode
Nick kicks things off with Herb Weisbaum, aka The Consumerman, who breaks down the FTC’s crackdown on hidden junk fees—what it means, how it works, and why it might finally spare you some surprise charges. They also dive into the sketchy world of overpriced solar installations and wrap with practical, money-saving travel tips for your summer plans. Later, Car Guy Tom Appel pulls up with tales of hybrid Toyotas, obscure concept cars inspired by butterflies, and a nostalgic look at the Super Jeep. There’s also some history on the Pope-Mobile (yes, really) and a reality check on whether that Porsche you spotted is actually worth only twenty grand. As always, Nick throws in fresh rounds of #Starspotter and #MysteryShow to keep things unpredictable. [EP 355]
