Barack Obama has helped Marc Maron close out his podcast, “WTF With Marc Maron,” after 16 years and over 1,600 episodes. Obama first appeared on the show a decade ago and joined Maron for the final episode released on Monday. The two talked in Obama's Washington office. Maron shared his feelings about ending the podcast, expressing readiness for a break but also fear of what comes next. Obama offered advice on moving forward, encouraging Maron to reflect and not rush into new projects. The episode marked the end of a pioneering podcast that began as a venue for stand-up comedians but became a major media player.
