Podcasting titan to end hit show this fall
One of the most prominent and prolific interviewers in podcasting is planning on hanging up the microphone this fall. Marc Maron's 'WTF' podcast will come to an end after more than 1,600 episodes, he announced Monday. 'Sixteen years we've been doing this, and we've decided that we had a great run,' Maron said on the intro to Monday's episode, which features comedian John Mulaney. 'Now, basically, it's time, folks. It's time. 'WTF' is coming to an end. It's our decision. We'll have our final episode sometime in the fall.' Citing burnout, Maron will leave behind a legacy of making news with some of the biggest figures in entertainment, politics and culture, largely from the garage of his Los Angeles home. While then-President Barack Obama's appearance in 2015 drew perhaps the most attention — Obama used the N-word when discussing race relations in America — 'WTF' also frequently featured significant revelations about celebrities' personal lives. Leaning on his own past with addiction and an up-and-down career in comedy, Maron has sat down with 'Saturday Night Live' creator Lorne Michaels and comedians like Robin Williams and Pete Davidson, drawing out revelations like Todd Glass' publicly announcing for the first time that he is gay. Maron also has hosted A-list stars like Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt and the elusive Leonardo DiCaprio. Maron added on Monday that he and producer Brendan McDonald do not plan to coast into the show's end, as they'll 'try to have as many people on as possible.' Looking at what's already been accomplished, however, Maron noted how 'WTF' altered his career. 'Because of the podcast, my life changed dramatically … I did the podcast as sort of a hail Mary pass to be a standup with an audience, to try my hand at acting, to have experiences with other people that were one-of-a-kind and completely exciting and unique and engaging and revealing, to talk to a president in my garage,' Maron said. 'So many things happened because of just setting up a mic in my garage with Brendan on the knobs, producing it, discussing with him how we do it all, it was a real creative partnership. And you, the audience have been here through all of it. I shared everything I could with you because that's the way I do it, and with my guests, and there've been so many amazing guests … And now, this is part of it, ending it the way we want it to end.'

Hazy, hot, and more humid weather this week, Storms return by the weekend
Tonight, the surface high pressure will sit over us making for a mostly clear night. Smoke from the Canadian Wildfires will continue to impact the upper levels of the air above Alabama. This will make for another pretty sunset. It will be cool and comfortable with low humidity. Lows will range from the lower to middle 60s. The high pressure will move east of Alabama on Tuesday. This will make it more humid with a mostly sunny sky. It will be warmer with high temperatures in the upper 80s. The heat index will be in the lower 90s. Warm and more humid weather is expected on Wednesday and Thursday as the high pressure sits off the East Coast and pumps in tropical air over Alabama. Each day will be partly cloudy with a low chance of a pop-up shower or storm. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s, and the heat index will be in the lower to middle 90s. A cold front will move toward Alabama on Friday, accompanied by an upper-level wave. This will set off scattered showers and storms. It will be hot and humid with highs in the upper 80s and the heat index in the 90s before it storms. Weekend Outlook: The front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee this weekend. A train of upper-level waves will move along the front each day. This system is close enough to trigger scattered showers and storms on Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by downpours and frequent lightning. High temperatures will be in the middle to upper 80s. Additionally, Saharan Dust will move over to the Southeast U.S. this weekend. This will cause the sky to appear a milky color and makes for beautiful sunrises/sunsets each day. This phenomenon is very common and happens every year from June through August. High pressure over the Mediterranean Sea causes the winds to move east to west across the Saharan Desert. The dusty sand gets sent aloft and travels across the Atlantic to the U.S. Be sure to follow the CBS 42 Storm Team: Follow Us on Facebook: Chief Meteorologist Dave Nussbaum, Meteorologist Michael Haynes, Meteorologist Alex Puckett, and Meteorologist Jacob Woods.

Johnstown Central Park renovation funding sparks controversy
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) — The multi-million dollar renovation project of Johnstown's Central Park is moving forward and so is the fierce debate over where the money came from and how it should be used. The City of Johnstown received millions of dollars in relief funding following the COVID-19 pandemic from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The council earmarked it for upgrades to Central Park. The federal guidelines for how that money could be spent may be unclear and there's debate as to whether those funds should cover the cost of a park renovation estimated at up to $8 million. City manager Art Martynuska recently told WTAJ the project is on track with plans having been approved Thursday. Johnstown City Council approves designs for Central Park project 'The original plan was going for about $6 million. We hope to be around that same amount, if not lower,' Martynuska said. But Representative Frank Burns (D-72nd District) questions the price tag and the use of these particular funds. 'Casual upgrades, small upgrades to the park people are fine with. But 6 to 8 million in Central Park is ridiculous. And what people really wanted is meaningful things in their community and infrastructure,' Burns said. Burns proposed the money be put towards renovating or building a new police department, tearing down blighted homes or even building a new grocery store. But council has stated they believe the money must be put towards the park. 'City council members are telling us a former city manager, Ethan Imhoff, has misled them and they were told that they had to spend this money on the park…That's at least what they're telling us now, that they had to spend 6 to 8 million on Central Park as part of the Main Street program, which is not true at all,' Burns said. In a letter sent to each council member in May 2024, Burns stated he felt the lines were blurred between the ARPA funding and the city's RAISE grant when it came to how the project would be funded. The city's RAISE grant had to be used for transportation projects and could not be used for the park, according to the department of transportation who awarded the grant. WTAJ reached out to former Johnstown city manager Ethan Imhoff. He did not agree to a recorded interview but, in a phone conversation, said the decision to spend the money on the park was already made before he became the city manager. The grant specified that the money had to be allocated by the start of the year meaning the city has to move forward with current plans. It remains unclear whether this is an appropriate use of the funds as the grant was intended to be invested into COVID-19 response efforts or to address economic impacts.
