Brendan was a really great guest. There were many times he could have just easily given me a yes or no response, but I could tell he went out of his way to give me an elaborate answer at times when it felt like maybe I didn\u2019t ask the right question. We talk about Marc Maron and the famous Obama interview in his garage, Brendan\u2019s background, and so much more on today\u2019s podcast episode.\nShow Highlights\n\n 03:45 \u2013 Technically Brendan isn\u2019t a podcaster.\n 07:45 \u2013 After Marc and Brendan got fired from Air America, they both knew they still wanted to work with each other.\n 09:00 \u2013 When did Brendan first meet Marc?\n 12:15 \u2013 Why did Brendan get into radio?\n 19:35 \u2013 At the time, there was nothing similar to what Marc and Brendan were doing.\n 24:15 \u2013 The WTF Podcast really starting taking off about 7 months in.\n 27:20 \u2013 Marc can really showcase his personality on the mic.\n 34:45 \u2013 The audio that\u2019s in there has been left in there for a very valid reason.\n 39:55 \u2013 Marc knows how to prep people before the interview and the pre-interview parts are always being recorded.\n 41:35 \u2013 Brendan touches on the Obama interview and what it was like.\n 48:55 \u2013 This was the first time Obama did an hour long interview with a podcaster.\n 51:15 \u2013 Feel free to contact Brendan on Twitter @ProducerMcD\n 51:45 \u2013 It was such an awesome feeling to get a guy like Brendan on the show.\n 53:55 \u2013 Brendan is just an awesome producer and I think this kind of stuff comes naturally to him.\n\n\u00a0\nFULL SHOW NOTES:\u00a0http://www.podcastjunkies.com/47","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/ce7fec39-d51c-46e0-991f-3214c1215d5b/full1544682913artwork.jpg"}
