Marc Maron Interviews Barack Obama In Final Podcast Episode

Marc Maron closed his 16-year podcast Monday with guest Barack Obama, reflecting on endings, responsibility, and the country’s strained civic norms. Maron cited burnout and the fear of leaving listeners who have relied on him, while Obama urged him to pause, take stock, and accept “partial victories” in democracy. Obama recalled serving as a de facto Democratic voice after leaving office, warned that institutional guardrails have been weakened, and urged Americans to stand up—even at some cost. The finale capped a run of candid conversations with famous guests and Maron’s own life laid bare.
