When I first saw Marc Maron on stage I didn't like him. I felt his neurotic, angry and somewhat embittered persona was just a shtick to hide a little scary man behind. To some extent I still feel that way but as time went I found it to be more and more candid and genuine and through that, much more relatable. From his stand-up I moved towards the WTF podcast and then the TV show. At the end it all feels very much connected and honest because it all comes from a place of honesty and that is why I like Maron now. I respect him for being truthful about his life, about his struggles, about his narcisism and most of all for being a great story-teller and interviewer. Wonder if the show ended on Marc's terms (daily job must have been a terror for him) or if it was cancelled because they should have kept going..
