What the F*ck: Marc Maron's WTF Podcast Coming to an End
It looks like a podcast institution is officially coming to an end. As he announced on his podcast WTF with Marc Maron (via Deadline) , Maron and his team are set to end the podcast after 16 years and close to 2000 episodes. ' Sixteen years we've been doing this, and we've decided that we had a great run. 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,' Maron says in the latest episode.
Maron had started the podcast back in 2009 and has since grown it into one of the most popular shows of all-time with 1.1 billion downloads. Maron is best known for having some great celebrity guests; while most of them have been comedians and writers, he also had high profile guests like President Barack Obama as well as musicians like Paul McCartney. He even managed to get Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio to do an interview together while they were promoting Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for Tarantino.
For now, Maron is chalking up the series closing due to him and his team being 'burnt out'. 'It really comes down to the fact that we've put up a new show every Monday and Thursday for almost sixteen years and we're tired. We're burnt out. And we are utterly satisfied with the work we've done. We've done great work, ' says Maron.
It also does seem like Maron is focusing more on stand-up and acting. Ever since GLOW , Maron has been appearing in more projects onscreen like Joker and The Bad Guys . He's also been in TV projects like Reservation Dogs and the upcoming Stick starring Owen Wilson.
Though Maron is closing the door on WTF , he does say that he could eventually get back to it in the future. He continues, ' This doesn't mean I'm never going to do something like this again. Doesn't mean I'll never have talks like I do here, or some kind of podcast at some point in time. But for now, we're just wrapping things up. It's okay. It's okay to end things. It's okay to try to start some other chapter in your life.'
WTF with Marc Maron is set to end this Fall. Watch out for Maron in Stick which premieres on Apple TV+ on June 4.

Controversial rookie outranks volatile FA as Cowboys most important 2025 addition
Amid the usual roller coaster of a Dallas Cowboys' offseason, which included a splashy receiver acquisition as well as a rare but busy free agency, one of their most meaningful moves this past spring came during the heart of roster building, the 2025 NFL draft. CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin named rookie guard Tyler Booker the Cowboys' best move of the 2025 offseason; it wasn't a flashy headline-grabber but it was a nod to the kind of decision that can help win games in December. George Pickens is a signature Jerry Jones splash, and he may well take the Cowboys' passing attack to new heights opposite CeeDee Lamb. Whereas he's more of a volatile swing, however, Booker feels like the kind of smart but unsexy investment that could really keep Dak Prescott upright. If he holds up as a Day 1 guard, Brian Schottenheimer might have this team back in the playoff mix. Advertisement Booker, the former Alabama standout, isn't the type of player who moves jerseys or headlines. But what he might move, and move well, is the pocket. And for a quarterback like Dak Prescott, returning from a season-ending injury and entering a pivotal year under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, that might be everything. That's the bet Dallas is making: that a dependable, sturdy, NFL-ready guard will solidify an offensive line that continues to add more youth and power on the interior. For all the talk of Prescott's inconsistency, much of it stemmed from protection breakdowns and limited support between the tackles. Booker, a First-Team All-American in 2024, brings polish and physicality that should plug into the Cowboys' line from Day 1. The Cowboys didn't just need a spark; they needed a stabilizer. Booker could be just that. If he helps protect Prescott, opens lanes for a ground game that finished 27th last season, and gives Schottenheimer more time to get creative, it won't matter if he's not the name on the back of every fan's jersey. Advertisement In a year where Dallas is trying to shed disappointment and reclaim relevance in the NFC, sometimes it's not the loudest move that matters most. Sometimes it's the one that gets you through the trenches, literally. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!

Trump to keep Starlink at White House despite break with Elon Musk

PHOTO: AFP Trump to keep Starlink at White House despite break with Elon Musk WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said on June 9 he has no plans to discontinue Starlink at the White House but might move his Tesla off-site, following his announcement over the weekend that his relationship with Mr Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of both companies, was over. 'I may move the Tesla around a little bit, but I don't think we'll be doing that with Starlink. It's a good service,' Mr Trump told reporters, referring to the satellite internet company that provides high-speed broadband access. It is a unit of Mr Musk's SpaceX. In March, Mr Trump said he had purchased a red Tesla Model S from Mr Musk, Mr Trump's then-close ally. Last week, a White House official said Mr Trump might get rid of it after a public feud erupted between the two men. The Tesla was seen parked at the White House over the weekend. On June 7, Mr Trump said he had no intention of repairing ties with Mr Musk. On June 9, the president said he would not have a problem if Mr Musk called. 'We had a good relationship, and I just wish him well,' Mr Trump said. Mr Musk responded with a heart emoji to a video on X showing Mr Trump's remarks. Last week, Mr Trump and Mr Musk exchanged a flurry of insults after the world's richest man denounced Mr Trump's tax and spending Bill as a 'disgusting abomination.' Mr Musk's opposition has complicated Republican efforts to pass Mr Trump's 'big, beautiful Bill' in Congress, where the party holds slim majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate. Since the dispute began last on June 5, Mr Musk has deleted some social media posts critical of Mr Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president. Sources close to Mr Musk said his anger has started to subside, and they believe he may want to repair his relationship with Mr Trump.
