enjoy the podcast, but can you put the download link in the RSS feed. All my readers choke with an error of nothing to download.

WTF: facebook, yahoo, AOL, hotmail ?? How about openid or gmail

Really cool guest with an amazing backstory. Just great.
Dammit, I love this podcast.

First time I heard “Neil” refer to anyone but Neil Young.
He’s very funny tho.

I just learned that Rob was from KC, very cool. I liked being able to hear about his take on things, and the 9-11 stuff took me back to when it happened. I liked that he said he felt grateful that he could actually do something.

As a side note, is there any way Marc could get Dave Chappell on the show? I hear he’s doing a new show, and I would love to hear the two of them have a conversation.

Antonio July 21, 2011 at 7:23 pm


Enjoyed very much.

Dave chapelle would be mind blowing with marc

Another great guest i found really interesting - keep up the great work Maron !!
Also, like Leah and Antonio i would also love to hear Dave Chappelle on the show - i think he would appreciate Marc’s honesty and integrity . . . . .

The term band of brothers may seem a bit melodramatic, but it’s probably the best description for soldiers in combat. They are willing to take risks and make sacrifices for their buddies. For them, it’s all about each other, not god, country or mom’s apple pie.

I’d like to echo Stephen Bunn’s call to fix your RSS feed. It’s fine for people who enjoy manually downloading MP3s, but it’s broken with respect to automated download software.

The automated software expects a link to the MP3 for the show in an “enclosure” tag within the feed.

Hey Marc,

I heard your plug on Real Time so this is the first episode of your show I’ve heard, great interview.

I’ve always liked Rob’s pieces on the Daily Show but wow what great stories and a sounds like a solid human.

Let me put my hat in the ring for some Chappelle. I think that could be the greatest interview you ever do (short of Zombie Richard Pryor).

Grant Johnson July 24, 2011 at 8:59 pm


Somebody with skillz please start a Chappelle to WTF facebook page

Curt July 26, 2011 at 2:31 pm
