Marc Maron ends his podcast with final guest Barack Obama after 16 years and nearly 1,700 episodes

Barack Obama returned to Marc Maron’s “WTF” for its final episode, closing a 16-year, 1,686-show run. Recorded in Obama’s Washington office, the former president opened the interview, asking Maron about ending a defining chapter. The surprise guest offered advice—don’t rush the next thing, take a beat—and praised the podcast’s “core decency.” Maron kept farewells light after a more emotional penultimate episode, though he signed off with tributes to his beloved cats: “Cat angels everywhere.” He and producer Brendan McDonald had announced the end in June, citing fatigue and satisfaction.
