WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

iTunes

I still see the dl links @
http://wtfpod.libsyn.com/

but idk I never try to save them I just stream

I use Pocket Casts instead of the Apple Podcasts app and I vastly prefer the experience fwiw.

I use Pocket Casts for android. It's not perfect, but worth the 3 or so bucks.

I still use an iPod :/

I lost my iPod right after Christmas. 6th Gen Classic. I used it every day for years for all my music and podcasts and everything, with just some shitty $5 case to protect it that apparently rendered it invincible. It's still somewhere in the house, but god knows where.

Player FM for android also works well for me

You should only listen to WTF on pressed vinyl

Do NOT give Marc any ideas, dude.

i use instacast. they've stopped updating the app but it still works & i love it

WTF is on Spotify now fwiw (which is how I've started listening to it).

hmm i can't find it there. is it only on android?

Maybe? I can only get to it on the mobile app, not the desktop one.

I like the podcast addict app on android

Only drawback of Pocket Cast vs iOS podcast app is that you can't search for a name and find all the podcasts that person has done. More than outweighed by not being a giant piece of shit like the iOS podcast app.

This Julia L-D episode is excruciating, but I'm making myself listen to the whole thing

I figure she'd be a decent interview. Or is it Maron himself that ruins it?

Folks will probably disagree with me, but I feel like Marc's doing fine and trying to warm things up. I don't know if Julia really is into being interviewed.

The new Louis CK one on the other hand is pretty interesting. At least the half I heard. Basically a Horace and Pete making-of.

^^Yeah! I never saw "Louie" but this new thing seems worth a watch.

Mentioned it on the Wire thread - the David Simon one from last week is good.

David Simon is a p serious dude.

Really? I thought that was a completely comfortable interview.

Maybe it's just me.

Joanna Newsom on Monday apparently.

Honestly can't stomach her music at all, but I'll be interested to hear from her.

I love her music, but I had to turn the interview off after Maron tells her about how he found a youtube video where a guy taught him how to play The Boxer on guitar because he wanted to learn fingerstyle

(in response to Joanna expressing a desire to eventually learn how to sight read sheet music at speed)

Alright, this shit's gone too far

is that amp photoshopped in?

tbf, Maron seems like the ur-demographic for Guitar Aficianado.

finally, we'll get to find out who marc's guys are

One thing's for sure, they're guys.

middle aged comic likes guitars. whoopdey fucking do, jeez give the guy a break

Louie Anderson episode is great. Lots of old Comedy Store talk and Rodney stories.

Rodney stories >>> Lorne stories.

Yes, that episode was excellent. I've never much enjoyed Anderson as a comic, but as an interview guest with great stories and an interesting life, he was superb.

oh wow, neil young today! two cranky motherfuckers in one garage could go either way i guess but hoping for the best

NEIL YOUNG, motherfuckers

(I'll have to listen to the Louie Anderson one next)

yeah the louie anderson ep was really great. on the other hand i'm not touching the chelsea handler ep with a barge pole.

They just pick at each other the entire time without ever really getting into any legit conversation about anything. Not sure why he even posted it.

I think he's got a deal with Netflix to do interviews that focus on a new show (with Handler, Aziz, etc.).

disagre, i could listen to her belittle him for hours.

The JLD interview was interesting in that he seemed to have provided a few moments where she could have mentioned that her dad was a billionaire but evaded it maybe.

I actually bailed on Neil 20 minutes in and skipped to Louie, no regrets

Neil interview was great
Louis was boring as usual

I thought Neil might be a steel trap, but Marc basically had to kick him out at the end.

Neil interview was great
Louis was boring as usual

Louie or Louis?

nothing too exciting in the neil interview, but it was perfectly listenable, neil seemed generally into it.

I wouldn't even say that the Neil interview sucked, it was just a dynamic that I couldn't deal with as my work day started: Neil trying to remember and elucidate things, Marc leaning on him a bit to move the story forward, etc. Gotta be in the mood for that.

And as a sucker for WTF comedian interviews, I loved the Louie interview. To each their own, I guess.

(Also this was the first time I'd ever listened to anyone interview Neil - previously I'd just read his print interviews.)
