Thanks for the link on the alien thing.  Were there any episodes in particular in which she discusses astrology?  For some reason the masochist in me wants to know.

The other big thing Maron does is act out what his guest is telling him, then laughs wildly at it.  He mainly takes this tack when speaking with someone far more successful than him who he doesn't have any history with, like McBride.  I had a bet with a friend that Maron wouldn't know what The Foot Fist Way was, but…

Can anyone point to an interviewer that does as little research as Marc Maron who gets such high profile guests?  It’s somewhat shocking to me how little he prepares for these things.  It makes sense if you have years of shared, bitter history with someone, but for people he hasn’t encountered before, Marc’s…
