#Podcaster maron professional
One 15-year-old blogger, for instance, said unprompted that he wanted nothing more than to be a professional music writer a TV interviewer said that when she smelled the cigar smoke, it reminded her of hanging out with her grandmother and a comedy journalist regretfully attributed missing his big break into show business to his own arrogance.Īfter the last interview, Maron smiled and said, almost mischievously, “People just like to tell me things.” The most interesting part of the exchanges was what the interviewers revealed to Maron about themselves. In each interview, Maron fielded well-worn questions with familiar answers: His longform interview podcast, WTF, was born of losing his job as a radio host, a failed marriage, and the need to reconnect with people he never expected that a project recorded in his garage would lead to a book deal, a television show, and the rejuvenation of a 25-year career in stand-up comedy some of his favorite guests have been Robin Williams, Conan O’Brien, and Mel Brooks. He had come to Canada for an international comedy festival, and media trawled the hotel for Q&As with the hundreds of lanyarded performers who darted through the lobby and restaurant like fish in an aquarium. At 50, Maron is inconspicuous alongside the younger stand-up comedians with whom he regularly performs. Heavy stubble encroached on his soulpatch and sideburns, and his thick-rimmed plastic glasses, blue plaid shirt, and brown brogue boots suggested someone stuck in his thirties. When I left Marc Maron on the concrete terrace of Montreal’s Hyatt Regency, he was 40 minutes into an Hoyo de Monterrey and getting miked up for his fourth interview since lighting the cigar. Up front By sharing his own frailties, Maron creates a space where people feel safe talking about things they wouldn’t typically get into during an interview.
