Funny you should mention that.  That's exactly where Maine Public Radio
most recently put The Annoying Music Show.  The 2-minute feature was
added to MPR's schedule in October 1997, right between the locally
produced musical nostalgia program Down Memory Lane and All Things
Considered at 3:57 on Fridays.  My recollection is that within a year
Jim Nayder's program was moved into a break in Car Talk.  If you're
within range of MPR you can check for yourself if it's still there--Car
Talk airs Saturdays at 10 a.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. (except last
weekend when coverage of the National Folk Festival in Bangor rearranged
the schedule).  I can only take Click & Clack in small doses so I'm not
volunteering to check for you.
