Waiting for the Punch: Words to Live by from the WTF Podcast by Brendan McDonald, Marc Maron, John Oliver
5.0
A stroll down memory lane as I’ve listened to the majority of Marc’s now 1000+ episodes so it was fun to read these snippets and stories in the same voice and cadence of the guest. Definitely a few personalities stood out as unfamiliar and reading their bits gave the same thrill of human connection as the podcast does (on such a consistent basis too)!
This is and will always be my favorite podcast, and now that it’s easily been six or seven years since I’ve been listening to Marc in his garage(s); I can say it’s shaped me in countless ways, especially as I approach the age of thirty and issues of mortality, relationships and failure/success take on new shapes and weight at this most critical and cliche of junctures in life...
Highly recommend this book to fans of nonfiction, self help books, and humor tales (akin to David Sedaris’ musings on family and heartbreak most notably) as you quickly learn that we’re all in this together as humans and we’re not so different after all.
Marc admits to having grown exponentially as a result of this long, unexpected, but ever-fruitful journey that the podcast has taken him on and the reader/listener with any modestly invested interest in these “talks” (not interviews!) can say the same.
