Marc Maron<\/a> has revealed that he\u2019s ending his long-running, game-changing podcast WTF With Marc Maron<\/em><\/a>. After nearly 16 years spent interviewing musicians, comedians, and other cultural figures, the veteran comedian and actor will release his final episode of the podcast later this fall. Maron broke the news during the post recent WTF<\/em> episode with John Mulaney, sharing that both he and his producing partner Brendan McDonald are \u201ctired\u201d and \u201cburnt out,\u201d but \u201cutterly satisfied with the work we\u2019ve done.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSixteen years we\u2019ve been doing this, and we\u2019ve decided that we had a great run,\u201d Maron said. \u201cNow, basically, it\u2019s time, folks. It\u2019s time. WTF<\/em> is coming to an end. It\u2019s our decision. We\u2019ll have our final episode sometime in the fall.\u201d Listen to the full episode below.<\/p>\n WTF With Marc Maron<\/em> quickly established itself as an alternative approach to podcasts, especially when it debuted in September 2009. What began as a space for Maron to hash out his annoyances and beefs with fellow comedians soon turned into a go-to resource for in-depth, sprawling, and laid-back conversations with cultural figures. Maron took a nonplussed but friendly approach when speaking with guests, and in the process regularly coaxed never-before-heard stories from celebrities while making them chuckle.<\/p>\n During WTF With Marc Maron<\/em>\u2019s long run, he recorded nearly 1,700 episodes and talked to everyone from President Barack Obama and Carol Burnett to Ariana Grande and Osees\u2019 John Dwyer. Though episodes typically got laughs out of his guests and listeners alike, Maron never shied away from heavy topics or dark corners. In 2010, he navigated a particularly personal and emotional interview with Robin Williams; and following the 2020 death of his girlfriend, director Lynn Shelton, Maron opened up in a heartfelt, sobering episode.<\/p>\n While Maron hasn\u2019t shared what his next plan is, he does have a few projects lined up that have been publicly announced. One of those is his starring role<\/a> in Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/em><\/a>, the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic starring Jeremy Allen White as the Boss. Maron will portray Chuck Plotkin, the producer who painstakingly mastered Springsteen\u2019s pivotal 1982 album Nebraska<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Revisit Marc Maron\u2019s 5-10-15-20 interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n
