Why is Marc Maron Ending His Podcast?
Marc Maron is seemingly choosing to step away from his podcast due to the time and effort it takes for him and producer Brendan McDonald to create it.
After he announced the show would be coming to an end, Maron said, “I know it will be jarring for many of you. It’s a bit difficult for me. It is time though. Brendan and I had an understanding that the only reason we would stop the show was if one of us was ready to stop. So, that happened, for both of us. We’re tired, people. Burnt out.”
Maron added that the duo often has to perform extensive research, record, and edit two shows per week.
He then said, “Both of us are tired. We’ve done great work. There’s absolutely no reason to just keep plugging along because we can. It’s okay for things to end. We’ve been very fortunate to do things exactly how we wanted to do them, all on our terms. We started the show on our terms and we are ending the show on our terms.”
