pplpod Episode 40 digs into Marc Maron’s singular lane—from road-worn stand-up and radio scrapper to the confessional architect of modern podcasting. We trace the early club years, Air America’s chaos, and how a cramped garage turned into a global conversation with WTF with Marc Maron—Presidents and punks, legends and newcomers, all pried open by curiosity and hard-earned empathy. Onstage, we chart the run of unflinching specials (Thinky Pain, More Later, End Times Fun, From Bleak to Dark), the grief-forged clarity after personal loss, and the joke craft that makes vulnerability land like thunder. We also hit the screen turns—Maron (IFC), GLOW, Sword of Trust, Joker, To Leslie—and the daily discipline: cats, coffee, guitars, and getting honest before the red light flips on. A portrait of a lifer who turned neurosis into connection.
