Famed Comedian, Marc Maron, Talks Podcasting And Building An Audience

Episode #368 of Six Pixels of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast is now live and ready for you to listen to.

I think that Marc Maron is to thank for a lot of what we’re seeing these comedians do. Since 2009, he has been producing his podcast, WTF With Marc Maron.

I sat down with Maron, this past Friday (prior to a live recording of his own, WTF With Marc Maron). Enjoy the conversation…
