    Depends who's on it. He can be a really good host and get people to really open up and find him funny when he's on form. The Bob Mould (90s rawk throwback AGAIN) was great for example. I find the never ending parade of old buddy New York club comedians soul-destroying unfunny though. I thought the Obama interview was a disappointment too. Timing didn't help. It was right after the Charleston Church shooting.

    I do find Maron occasionally lets his guard down and allows a latent sexism/misogyny to sneak out. Maybe that's me being overly sensitive having mentally put him in that category but every time I think back to an interview where I noticed, "Oh man, he actually sounds bored and totally disinterested in what this person has to say, it's ALWAYS been a woman". Kim Gordon, Lake Bell are a couple of recent examples.

    He's a hot mess of a man. But I find him endearing and entertaining more often than not.

    Can you recommend me some other good podcasts? In the podcast thread perhaps?
