    I had to stop at “this guy strangles the dog. (chuckle)”, a German shepherd. “took him off in a police car” (joke). I won’t listen to normalized abuse of animals even here.

    Nah man!
    Maron is on the ambition over talent Mount Rushmore with Rogan Trump and Kim. Horrible interviewer with no ability to listen and ask interesting follow up questions. Just waits for his turn to say “yeah man!” and puke out something tangentially related about himself. On an Amy Schumer ep she was about to tell a story about getting arrested with her cousin who is Chuck Schumer’s kid, and Marc side tracked and the story never got told. There are people who actually deserve to have access to these interviewees and wouldn’t waste their time. And his guitar playing may be worse than his acting.

    Been patiently waiting for the day when Larry David made it to the garage. It did not disappoint. Thank you, Marc and Larry!

    George, to Jerry: “Here’s an episode: ‘What’s in your shake?’ That could be a show.” J: “A whole episode of ‘What’s in your shake?’ THAT could be a show?” G: “THAT’S a show…” Thanks, Marc. Great conversation
  • Brethren of Heernt.
    Oh yeah!
    Marc’s the man. Good conversationalist. And I have to say, he blows my mind with his breadth of knowledge with many things but especially anything entertainment or arts related.
  • MarkChicagoIL
    Great Podcast
    Love Marc’s podcast… but he was way over-caffeinated for the Tony Goldwyn interview.

    My Favorite Podcast
    I’ve been listening to Marc Maron’s podcast since around 2015. It’s the only one I consistently listen to. I run four days a week, so I normally end up spitting the episodes in half, which gets me through the week. It doesn’t matter if I’ve heard of the guest or not, I’m tuning in either way. I’ve learned about so many new comedians, musicians, and actors over the years thanks to this podcast. Do it up!

    Marc Maron
    Interruptions and the “ yeah, yeah, yeah” is why it’s just a podcast.
  • sle3665
    Enough with the Yeahs!
    Love the show & Marc, been listening forever but the nervous tic of saying “yeah” after each guests comments is over the top. It’s all you can hear after a while. Enough already! Let the conversation breathe and skip the caffeine & nicotine before interviews, Marc.

    Billy Strings!!
    Just loved this interview! Best yet! Greatest young man so humble and true! Thanks!

    A. Whitney Brown
    Whitney episode one of the best ever.
  • Paulie Joe
    Great interviews
    Have loved this podcast for years but always skip the 10 minute self-indulgent openings and go right to the interview. The extra ads, such as right before the guest comes on, are annoying, but Mark is still one of the best and most intelligent interviewers out there, always getting to a deeper conversation than in other podcasts.

    Reese Witherspoon & Tig
    Tig Nataro episode: Reese shows her true colors through a “priceless” comment. Celebrities are as out of touch as politicians.
  • Kelly_330
    Great
    Loved the Attell episode. Thank you!
  • a parisi other than ur mannies
    Love this podcast! Love Marc Maron!
    I especially love the diversity of Marc’s guests—something you don’t see in other podcasts hosted by white male comedians. Marc is an expert interviewer and gives ample space for his guests to speak. He’s generous, enlightened, and open. And he interjects personal experiences only as a way to connect and push the conversation forward. So many favorites, it’s hard to pick. They just keep getting better. Thanks since 2015-Grace

    Loved Carol Burnett
    Carol Burnett interview was so interesting and how amazing to hear her stories. She’s a treasure.
  • J Clam
    Waited too long
    Signed up a while back to follow you and I guess I didn’t realize what you were all about until I heard a program. It was great. Carol Burnett is great you’re great show was great now I’ve got 1500 episodes to catch up with. With pleasure.
  • Littleworldcunningly
    Thank you for talking about Palestine
    I really enjoy this show, and am really glad you are talking more about Palestine.

    What The Lubbock?!
    If you’re wondering whether or not Marc’s ever done an independent film set in Texas, in which he had to sport a Lubbock accent, then this podcast is for you.

    this is what an eating disorder sounds like.
    one of the greatest podcasts of all time, have loved marc forever, have listened since the beginning and rarely miss an episode. I was so moved by witnessing his grieving process when Lynne died and admired his deep vulnerability in talking about long term recovery. marc, please get help for your eating disorder. I have to skip through every intro and yet the eating disorder content invariably also comes up in the interview. Vegan talk is fine, whatever, but the unending obsession with bodies and food is so distressing and triggering. You deserve more quality of life than this. We deserve to listen without being barraged by the contagious obsession with food and body perfection every single episode.

    Favorite podcast of all time
    Sometimes I have zero interest in the guest, but I listen to the monologue every episode regardless. I’ve loved coming along on Marc’s emotional journey and personal growth, and have often found kindness toward myself through hearing him share these things twice a week. I’ve discovered some great art, film, comedy, music from listening to conversations with people I may not have otherwise heard of. I’ve even gained some empathy for people I didn’t previously care for or about. It’s also one of those shows that I sort of imagine being a guest on his show. Not that I think I’m interesting or deserving of that kind of attention, but because I’d like to be a part of the kind of conversation that Marc is able to out of people.
  • traverseTownie
    Great comedy interviews!
    The Dave Attell interview was a fast 50 minutes!
  • Alpha Laambda MUsuck
    Used to love this show
    But so over Marc pretending he’s the big expert on grief because in his late 50’s his barely a girlfriend of less than a year died. and boo hoo Poor Marc, his elderly mom and dad are still alive but deteriorating. What a baby. Ungrateful.
  • RReyes1987
    Too short
    The only pod I still listen to. The only gripe is I usually want to keep listening when it ends.

    RIP Richard Lewis
    My god!! This episode was hilarious! I’m in the grocery store with my earbuds on/ in(?) listening and I’m crying with laughter! Richard was legend! RIP Richard!!

    Ben Mendelsohn
    Marion & Mendelsohn heartily praising Mel Gibson? What’s next? Father Coughlin was a fine radio broadcaster or Joseph Goebbels was a great speech writer?

    Succeeds in spite of himself sometimes
    Enjoy this podcast but could be better. This podcast is successful because Marc has a lot of great guests. I think the guests like doing this show and because the interviews are easy and free flowing discussions rather than conventional interviews. But boy does Marc make it difficult to like sometimes. He talks about himself too much at times. Was listening to the Jacqueline Novak interview and a bunch of times she was about to say something interesting he spoke over her and steered the conversation into a totally uninteresting direction about himself. The whole working through his issues thing was endearing when he was starting out. But at the level he’s at now, it comes across as narcissistic.
  • Jackiedo123
    Another leftist
    His political views are what’s wrong with this country. Just another useful Bidenite idiot.
  • Gudehbewiuburwhbdy
    Antisemetic Mark Ruffalo
    Having notoriously antisemitic Mark Ruffalo on who won the not so distinguished title of being 2023’s biggest tormentor of Jews was a huge blunder and grave disappointment. You just lost many many listeners by giving this cruel racist, antisemitic poor excuse of a human being a platform. Hope you do better going forward.
  • AmKeeler
    17 minutes of nonsense before the interview?
    Love Marc but Jesus Christ..
  • feedbackfromks
    Marc is the best
    Marc is a best, he’s not for everybody… but he’s the best.

    John Iliver
    You can be funny, discuss world events but being each others laugh track was a little annoying. It’s like you were competing for who could be the most ironic or funny.
  • snailwigg
    Compassionate
    Marc champions mental health challenges in a humane way that is too often missing when the subject arises. He has great interviews with many interesting creative people. He loves cats.
  • dbsbsvdb
    Maron is just so bad
    He is insufferable. He’s so tacky and boring.

    Just don’t
    Don’t say the r-word my friend. You still can be funny without saying a word that exploits people who can’t stand up for themselves.
  • bayodome
    Ho Ho Harjo
    I just listened to Mark’s interview with Sterlin Harjo from 2021 and it might be the best interview I’ve heard among the hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours of interviews and podcasts I’ve listened to since lockdown. I’ve never left a podcast review before but had to say something. The realness that Mark brings to the table with Sterlin’s honesty about his upbringing and experiences getting to the place he place he is now made this very enjoyable and inspiring. Huge fan of Reservation Dogs. Huge fan of what Sterlin and all of the native creators are doing and getting their voices out into the world. Thank you! -Bayo
  • wichopunkass
    Wow
    Such a profound perspective on Israel I never could quite recognized until their discussion. Moshi is revelatory while Marc remains dependable. Great ep. C+.
  • thelayabout
    Interrupts Guests
    He gets such good guests, the interruptions are surprising. Interviews start about 15 minutes in.
  • sobernotdead
    Let’s play a game!!
    Let’s play a game, we try to guess how long it takes before Marc brings up being Jewish or how hard it is being a comedian. No disrespect to anybody who is Jewish or a comedian for that matter, but we get it already.
  • prettykitty500
    Def one of the best !!
    Recent interview with Paul Giamatti is my new favorite, listening to them crack each other up made me laugh

  • Long_time_listener2
    Marc can’t take the heat
    That interview with Davis was rough! Marc can’t take it, he is totally projecting onto this guy, you aren’t that great Marc. Take it easy.
  • solidg70
    So good…
    Marc, I love ur show. I’m a Chicago native & anytime I hear a Chicago reference, I either learn something new or am surprised by you not knowing! I discovered you on that show years ago filmed in Chicago- you were the perfect angry writer guy out dating in Wicker Park. Then there was Glow- a masterpiece. Then on to listening to ur stand up. Always dry. Always funny. Love the podcast. Love the guitar. Keep it coming. Big fan from Chicago. -Amy Goldberg
