  • Dear Marc,

    I was wildly concerned about you after hearing you were falling asleep with nicotine lozenges in…you’re a true wild man Maron—find a lower gear. Take care.

  • It’s crazy!

    I’m listening to the Sept 1 episode intro. Marc is saying it’s crazy it’s been 16 years of the podcast… It is crazy! I can’t believe we’ve been able to be a fly on the wall for some of Marc’s most intimate and raw experiences. He gave us a peek into a real life. No wonder us fans feel so very connected to Marc, like we know him. And although Marc doesn’t know, I remember exactly what I was doing in that time of my life when I think back to old episodes.❤️
