WTF/Marc Maron - Wow...thanks everyone for the recommendation on this podcast! Just heard the two part Louis CK episode...TOTALLY different than what I expected. I've known Maron before from some of his standup, and a few Youtube interviews from his Air America show he did (one with Chuck Klosterman is how I initially found out about the guy). But I did not expect the format of the comedy interviews to be as raw, bare, emotionally honest, forthright, and "walls down", for lack of a better word. A huge breath of fresh air as far as interview shows go...and here I was thinking this was going to be yet another hipster/way-too-ironic/too-snarky podcast...the surprise in the opposite direction = great. Was kind of like a Kevin Pollack Chat Show...for comedians...but with a level of emotional honesty that makes it different.
BB6634 - I think you were the one that recommended the Risk podcast a few pages back. I'm a huge fan of The Moth, SpeakEasy DC, Tales from Lake Wobegon, and recently The Tobolowsky Files, and Risk sounded great, like a dirtier, raunchier, uncut version of all the above. Downloaded two of them...and have to say, so far I'm a bit disappointed. But I'm not giving up quite yet...are there are episodes in particular you remember as standouts that you'd recommend trying out?
