Marc Maron to End WTF Podcast This Fall

Marc Maron has announced that his influential podcast 'WTF with Marc Maron' will conclude in the fall after almost 16 years, citing both burnout and a mutual sense of satisfaction with the show's legacy. Launched in 2009, the podcast has produced over 1,600 episodes and featured prominent guests, including Barack Obama, Robin Williams, and Chris Rock. Maron and producer Brendan McDonald consistently released episodes twice weekly, maintaining creative control throughout the show's run. The podcast helped popularize and legitimize the medium, with the Robin Williams interview inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. Maron described the decision to end as mutual and expressed openness to future podcasting projects. The show's candid conversations and cultural impact have been widely celebrated.
