    The end of the Bill Burr one had me laughing on Saturday morning as I listened.   Bill excitedly talking sports and visiting stadiums as he toured and Marc saying ,'yeah' before getting back to his points....just hit me as funny since Marc isn't a sports guy and Bill really is, just how they misaligned during that part.

    Good talk, though. 
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    edited June 2

    Marc Maron is signing off.

    The comedian will end his influential interview podcast "WTF" this fall after 16 years. Maron announced the news at the start of his Monday, June 2, episode interviewing John Mulaney.

    Maron, 61, said he made the decision to end the show with his producer, Brendan McDonald.

    "We both realized together that we were done," he said. "There was no convincing or pushback or arguing. We were done, and it's OK for things to end."

    He went on to explain, "It really comes down to the fact that we have put up a new show every Monday and Thursday for almost 16 years, and we're tired. We're burnt out. And we are utterly satisfied with the work we've done."

    "Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"

    Big News.
    The time has come, People!

    All good things must come to an end. The end is nigh for most things, generally speaking, but more specifically, the end of the WTF podcast is coming in the fall. 

    I know it will be jarring for many of you. It’s a bit difficult for me. It is time though. 

    Brendan and I had an understanding that the only reason we would stop the show was if one of us was ready to stop. So, that happened, for both of us. 

    We’re tired, people. Burnt out. 

    As of September we will have been doing the show for 16 years. Wow. That’s a long time to do anything. We have put a new show out twice a week for 16 years and we’ve put everything we have into those shows. That’s just the way we work. We have since the beginning and it’s always been just us. Obviously, we had help along the way, but in terms of creating the show Brendan does his job, I do mine. No networks, no boss. Just us and hundreds of guests and you. 

    I know you might think, ‘How hard can it be to record a conversation?’ But reflect on why you listen. There’s a lot that goes into each show that makes it great. We are workaholics and meticulous about the quality of the show. Editing, music, engagement, remaining all in and interested. 

    Both of us are tired. We’ve done great work. There’s absolutely no reason to just keep plugging along because we can. It’s okay for things to end. We’ve been very fortunate to do things exactly how we wanted to do them, all on our terms. We started the show on our terms and we are ending the show on our terms. 

    My gratitude for all of you listeners is big. We’ve been through a lot together. I hear from so many of you that I helped you through hard times, cultural changes, sobriety, depression, fear. Some of you have grown up listening to me by now. Some of you started listening because your parents listened in the car. Some of you just started listening. The good news for newbies is there’s plenty to catch up on. 

    I want you all to know that I appreciate deeply that you were all there for me as well. You changed my life in so many ways. You helped me through so much.

    WTF was there at the beginning of the podcast invasion. We weren’t the first, but in terms of making it a viable medium we were certainly one of the OGs. We changed the world, literally. We showed the world that it was possible to create a specific type of show on one’s own terms. We helped unleash an exciting type of delivery system for pure self expression. Sadly, on some level, we also unleashed a format that can be used for dubious means, propaganda and pure evil. But hey, it’s not the atomic bomb.

    I’ll be around. I’m looking forward to these fun and full months of final shows. I’ll be doing my standup, acting and hopefully enjoying life a bit. I’ve earned that. 

    So, that’s the big news. I’m sure we’ll talk about it in the weeks to come but for now, thank you all for being here. 

    Today I talk to John Mulaney. He’ll be the first guest to know. On Thursday I talk to Josh Homme again. Heavy dude. Great talks. 

    Enjoy!

    Boomer, Monkey and LaFonda live! 

    Love,
    Maron

    I got that too. Who the one guest that he hasn’t had (minus PJ members) that you’d love to see before the show ends? I think I’d go with Adam Sandler. I’m a big fan but also would love to see them bury the hatchet

    will counter that with Jon Stewart then....

    since I gather the acting will be more prominent going forward,   going with DeNiro

    I mean I think the closest thing to Maron's style is Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast.
