Nick D – “For The People” – December 2024

From The Nick D Podcast on Radio Misfits Nick Digilio

In this “For The People” episode, Nick is joined by The Consumerman, Herb Weisbaum from Checkbook.org, to discuss holiday shopping tips and warnings. They cover how to avoid overspending during the Christmas season, spotting worthless gift cards, being cautious when buying toys from overseas websites, and identifying fake product reviews online.

Next, Car Guy Tom Appel from Consumer Guide Automotive joins the podcast to talk about the latest cars he’s been driving, how Mazda bent the rules to release a hybrid, why seatbelts were often ignored in the 70s, and the fascinating history of cars associated with Playboy—and no, not the magazine.

A round of “Starspotter” wraps things up as Tom recounts Foster Brooks’ guest appearance on an episode of Adam-12… playing, of course, a drunk driver. It’s another fun and informative episode! [Ep303]
