In this week's episode of the CNC Auto Show, host Aaron Clements takes listeners on a deep dive into the world of car maintenance, offering invaluable advice and expert insights. Whether you're a seasoned car enthusiast or just someone who wants to keep their vehicle in top shape, this episode has something for everyone. Aaron starts the show with his signature tech tip quiz, a fun and engaging way to impart useful automotive knowledge. This week's question involves a spy, a Genesis GV 60 electric car, and a bowling bag, setting the stage for an intriguing discussion. The winner of the quiz gets a special prize package, making it a fun way for listeners to test their automotive smarts. One of the standout segments of the episode is Aaron's advice on finding a reliable repair shop. He emphasizes the importance of building a relationship with a shop before you actually need one. "The best time to find a shop is when you don't need one," he advises, underscoring the value of proactive car maintenance. Aaron walks listeners through the steps of researching shops online, visiting them in person, and even getting a small job done to test the waters. Aaron also clarifies the often confusing difference between service bulletins and recalls. While recalls are usually safety-related and done at no cost to the consumer, service bulletins are more about providing helpful information to both consumers and repair shops. He highlights the importance of understanding these distinctions to avoid any surprises when you take your car in for service. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to electric vehicles (EVs) and the challenges they present. Aaron discusses the recent cutbacks in EV production by major automakers like Ford and General Motors, attributing it to lower-than-expected consumer demand and financial losses. He provides a balanced view, acknowledging the potential of EVs while also pointing out the current limitations and the importance of consumer choice. Listeners also get to hear real-life car issues from callers, such as a 2006 Chrysler Town and Country van with blower motor problems and a 1996 GMC truck converted from fuel injection to a carburetor. Aaron's practical advice and troubleshooting tips make these segments particularly engaging and informative. In a fascinating twist, Aaron touches on the increasing use of cabin cameras in vehicles for monitoring driver behavior. This raises questions about privacy and the ethical implications of such technology, adding another layer of depth to the discussion. Overall, this episode of the CNC Auto Show is a treasure trove of automotive wisdom. Aaron Clements' expertise and approachable style make complex topics accessible, ensuring that listeners walk away with practical tips and a better understanding of their vehicles.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
