Listener Reviews

I love you, Marc. What else is there to say? Your humor, intellect, empathy, and genuity is a gift to us all. I’m a fan of all your work, but especially of your humanity which shines through most in this thoughtful and well-produced podcast. Thank you.

Marc does his homework and is always very knowledgeable about his guests and the subject at hand. He lets guests speak but his comments and the ways he guides the conversation is on point. Did I mention he is very smart and funny AF?

Your sound equipment is the best . Your complete openness with navigating life is priceless to me. We share early childhood stuff so I get the brain churn to figure out how others make doing life look easy. Your expertise on literary history amazing and you are able to converse with guests as a student and truth seeker. Guests are lucky they get interviewed through your filter. They are better for it. Hang in there good things in your future. You have Lynn out there lining up the good stuff for you. 💛 Janis in Austin

Marc doesn't let his guests get away with anything. He asks the hard hitting questions! If you like Marc Maron, this is a great podcast for you. If you don't like his style of comedy, it'll be too much. Great stuff!

Marc Maron was one of the first people to take the medium of podcasting, and make it respectable and professional. He mixes a very direct and unfiltered style of interviewing, with a compassionate and non-judgmental almost unconditional tolerance, that seems to put each of his countless iconic guests at ease and have them willing to open up and divulge the human sorts of truths that are sometimes missed in less skillful conversations. Beyond that, he introduces his episodes with some of the most relatable and real insights into the world that I have ever heard. He might one day open up about his failures regarding a recent baking fiasco, or weeping and vulnerable as he openly and unashamedly mourns and grieves loss, or else consumed with a fury that aims at asserting himself in order to waken hope in those who doubt that everything will eventually be ok and we can do whatever needs to be done to surmount whatever odds we face. There is something immensely personal in his voice and his expression that reaches through the medium and creates a sense of interpersonal intimacy as well as offers the acknowledgment of the shared mortality that defines us all beneath the veneer of the masks we put on to seem ok. This podcast is more like a means of looking in on the lives of those we admire and seeing them for their truth in a very pure and raw way. I love it very much and I know anyone with empathy and a desire to hear the truth for what it is, will love it as well.

I live in LA and have had the pleasure of experiencing Marc’s standup many times and enjoyed endless hours of this podcast. He has a special skill of communicating complex psychological and cultural issues into relatable and funny conversations; whether in monologue or during an interview. Preach on Marc, the world is a better place with your voice being heard.

Obviously a great podcast. But I’m getting a kick reading the negative reviews. Who are these people that are upset about Marc bashing Trump? Maybe they just stumbled upon this and had no idea who he is?

Wow just wow, great interview!

Refreshingly honest chat. Real talk with celebs, politicos & public figures. Discovered during lockdown, hooked from there on. Never fails to move me & make me laugh out loud, everything mainstream TV & Radio isn’t!

I’ve become addicted to this podcast. A healthy enough addiction. Marc is so adept at digging beneath the surface and, if there is anything under there, he’ll find it. He’s also my Covid buddy, articulating all the outrage and despair I feel and somehow not surrendering to it. I would prescribe this podcast for any thinking feeling being.

What a great interview. Patti Smith is such a legend, and Marc does an expert job of highlighting her best stories and qualities.

sMarc, your interview with Pattie Smith was the most enjoyable episode yet. Thank you so much for that.

Marc knows how to get his guests comfortable so they can give their best answers. I’d love to hear more on his process for getting unstuck or as he calls it ‘paralyzing anxiety’.

The pathetic “one star reviews” from Trump followers just tells you how amazing this podcast is. Marc Maron is hilarious, has real conversations, and doesn’t tiptoe around people’s feelings about real issues. This is favorite podcast to listen to interviews. Listen to new episodes or deep dive and listen to older ones; they’re all fantastic.

Nope. Who gives a crap about nose hair. It’s funny. And it could save your life... you know.... the Rona. I. Love. This. Human. Grateful that Maron shares his gift of seamlessly bringing out the humanity of comedians and friends. A very grateful addictive substitute.

Hi Marc many thanks for sharing yourself & your guests in such a delightful way as well as providing a super-zoom lens into life in the USA in these dreadful times. I love you man, keep on keeping on !!!!

Absolute joy to listen to this conversation. Two of a kind!

John Cusack isn’t Irish though. His parents aren’t either. Or his Grandparents. He’s American. That’s the only time I’ve sworn at this podcast- when he suggested he may be eligible for citizenship. The other episodes have been brilliant!

RIP Monkey

He’s sad about most things so I don’t have to be. Ta

Such a great interview, there is something about people like Collette that make me feel comfortable, such a delight, you did a great job as usual Marc. Your podcast is documenting life as it has been back in the day with older actors/ comedians and also with current amazing people , making a living history so we can all absorb the past and present, Cheers Nuala

Just a great piece entertainment every episode. Marc Maron has brought something real and valuable to this medium. Sincerity wins every time.

I follow the podcast religiously and I absolutely love it! Mark is an exceptional host, comic and conversationalist! 👌

Loved the Ice T episode so interesting. One of my go to podcasts, never miss an episode. You have a way of opening up celebrities that you don't see in talk shows.
