In the early days of WTF, some of Maron's most compelling guests were fellow comedians. Together, the host and his guest could lament about stories from the road and tell funny anecdotes about their careers. When interviewing disgraced comedian Carlos Mencia, though, Maron had a different aim than to simply share stories. By addressing the difficul...

Though Maron has interviewed sitting presidents and rock legends, it was his interview with a grand dame of soul music that was one of his most fascinating.

Expounding upon his life and career, Williams showed that not e...
Few podcasters can brag that they have interviewed a sitting president, but WTF was given that distinct honor when Barack Obama stopped by. The president spent little time in his interview discussing politics and instead answered many pointed and personal questions from the star-struck Maron.
