Terrible interviewer, can’t listen to him. He talks over the guests, changes subject frequently, and talks too much about himself.

His format is conversation, not interview. Many times he just flips things on as they were already chatting while sitting down.

Yes it’s a conversation, which is mostly one sided towards him. He doesn’t let his guests finish their thoughts. As opposed to Rick Rubin who affords his guests enough time to get everything out. Marc has such a short attention span and seems to be such a narcissist that I cannot listen to him.

Going to politely disagree and say that he shares personal information with his guests to get them to open up. Seems to work from the episodes I listened to.

I understand sharing personal information, I just think he does it too much.

It’s always the same conversation. He will totally walk all over a story if it’s not on his list.

I’d rather not.
Maron - where’d you grow up?-what did your parents do?- have you heard about what a shit my Dad is and how I called him last week and he acts like I’m not a working actor?- did you parents support your career? -oh they did? Because mine never seemed to care- how’d you get started?- you know I’ve been acting/playing music/writing/buying vinyl/getting custom made boots and I’m thinking you’re not really all that much better than I am but some how you’re more famous-did you know I was a doorman at the Comedy Store?- that’s where I met Sam. You know Kinison, the one with the drugs?- did you ever do drugs? No but you still drink?- did you know I’m an alcoholic? - it’s spelled Marc with a C
Ok well it’s been good talking to you. Are we ok? Because I felt that you didn’t like me when we started but I feel better about myself now.
Alright I’m going to play my guitar without tuning it now. BOOMER LIVES.

Can’t speak for any of his other interviews really, but I don’t think he asked about or mentioned any of that stuff in this one

You just summed up the majority of the interviews.

They might get of track but Marc always circles back and picks up the conversation to make a thru line.

This is a fair critique-I wouldnt downvote it. I love maron but he def sometimes does this. He’s pretty self-involved.

Yes. I listen to a lot of his episodes because I want to hear the guests, but Maron needs to give them more space.
