I'm gonna miss "WTF with Marc Maron" so much. 16 years is a long time, and it feels like we're losing a part of our podcasting community. I know the show has tackled some heavy topics, but the way Marc Maron brings people together through his conversations and sense of humor has been truly special. He's had an incredible impact on the world of podcasting, and I'm sure we'll see many other shows inspired by him in the future 
... I mean, who wouldn't? The dude has been sharing his heart (and so much more) with us for 16 years straight - that's dedication, right there 
! I remember when I first started listening to "WTF", I was hooked from the very beginning. Marc's humor is infectious, but it's also not afraid to get real and raw at times 
. And let's be real, who else can make you laugh AND cry in the same episode? 
... minus the awkward silences, obvi 
. And let's be real, he's paved the way for so many other awesome podcasts out there 
. His legacy is going to live on, and I have no doubt that his unique brand of comedy and conversation will continue to inspire and entertain us for years to come 
.
. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's been super popular and all that, but I think it's cool that Marc Maron's gonna wrap things up. I've always thought the interview format was kinda boring, to be honest 
. I mean, how many times can you sit there and listen to someone talk about their life? 
. There are so many other shows out there that do similar stuff, like comedy and conversation. It's just gonna be one of those things where, hey, it was cool while it lasted, but now it's time to move on 
.
And who knows, maybe he'll just take his talents to YouTube or something 
. Either way, I hope he keeps being himself and not getting all stuffy and whatnot 
Marc Maron's show was a breath of fresh air 
after years of sifting through the noise online. I'm sad to see it go, but 16 yrs is a long time 
, even for the most dedicated fans like me. His conversations are always so real and honest 
. I'll miss listening to his chats 
. And the stories he shares... wow, they're just so inspiring. I love how he's not afraid to be vulnerable and share his own struggles. It makes him (and us) feel less alone 
. The fact that this show is coming to an end is crazy – it feels like a part of my daily routine is ending too 
.
Can't believe another podcast is finally ending its run... like we're running out of content or something 
. 
️. Maron's got this way of making you feel like he's sharing all these crazy stories about his own life, and you're just sitting there thinking, 'wait, that's actually my life too?' 
.
. I'm not surprised though, 16 years is a long time! I've been listening for ages and have always loved how he makes you feel like you're having a chat with him over a beer 
. He's got this way of tackling tough topics in a really relatable way that just feels so... human. And the guests he's had on are always amazing too! 
It's weird to think about not being able to hear his voice every week, but I guess it's also kind of exciting to see what he does next? Maybe he'll start another project or something? Fingers crossed for that anyway 
. I loved how he'd dive into these deep conversations with his guests and share some crazy personal stories 
. His enthusiasm is infectious 
. The impact he's had on the podcasting world is still being felt 
. He may be ending 'WTF', but his legacy will live on in our hearts 
.
I gotta say, 16 years is a pretty long time for any podcast, you know? Like, some shows are just meant to be short and sweet, but "WTF" has been this steady, comforting presence in our lives for decades 
. And honestly, I think it's kinda sad that it's coming to an end... not because I don't love a good laugh or thought-provoking convo, but because Marc Maron's voice and perspective are just so uniquely special 
.
.
and I'm thinking about how weird it is that beach towels get so big after a few washes 
I loved how Marc would be hilarious one sec and then super vulnerable next 
... the long-form format was really what made the show special, it allowed for these deep & meaningful conversations that felt more like hanging out with a friend than listening to a traditional interview 
. And let's be real, Marc Maron can't hold onto his audience forever... he's been getting older and less relatable to younger listeners 
. Mark my words, his legacy will get lost in the noise soon enough 
. Anyway, I guess it's time for new content, but who knows if anyone can fill those huge shoes 
?
. i loved how he'd dive into the deeper stuff, like mental health and relationships, in such an open & honest way 
it's crazy to think about how much of an impact this podcast's had on people's lives... comfortin' listening for some, but also sparked some amazing conversations 
. anyway, it's time 4 us to take a moment to appreciate the legacy of "WTF" 
. Marc's legacy will live on, but it's hard not to feel a little nostalgic about the end of an era 
. don't get me wrong, the guy's done some great stuff, but 16 years is a long time to be listening to the same dude talk about his life and random guests 
. i mean, can't he just take a break or something? or make it a comedy special instead of a whole series 
And in doing so, we've become more than just listeners, we're part of his inner circle.
