Just Listen: WTF with Marc Maron Featuring Kevin Hart


Kevin Hart sits down with Marc Maron to talk about his rise and fall and rise again in comedy.  I didn't realize just quite how big Kevin Hart is until I heard this podcast and I actually like him and have seen him in concert.  There's also a cool discussion on the business side of television.

Just Listen: WTF with Marc Maron Featuring Patton Oswalt


I stumbled upon a great podcast for fans of comedy called WTF with Marc Maron.  For the first few minutes of the podcast you typically have to endure a monologue of the comedian working through his issues, but once you get past that you are treated with a cool conversation between two comedians talking about the business of comedy.  Think of it as Inside The Actors Studio for comedians & comedy writers.

In this particular episode he sits down with one of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt where they discuss Oswalt's book and how selling out helped him finance Feelin' Kinda Patton & The Comedians Of Comedy.
