I don’t know why I care, but I feel like this is the BIGGEST ego boost to Marc Maron’s already skyrocketing ego, which upsets me greatly.....and now I’m annoyed that I have thoughts about this at all.

Marc Maron gives off such creep vibes, so I will have to take a hard pass on listening to this.

Exactly!

Yeah, it reminds me of the This American Life segment that dealt with pretentious readers who wrote in to say they couldn’t listen to several of the regular contributers who are women because of their “vocal fry”. Gimme a break, douchebags. *eyeroll* That said, I’m still a big public radio lover as well. I have so…

I was trying to reply to the article with a comment in this vein but it’s early and I’m having trouble putting my words together good. Basically, I’m getting the vibe of people who feel like their 5 dollar a month donation entitles them to some sort of ownership in the station.

And the best way to get off heroin is through the sick boy method, he knows a lot about Sean Connery (which i’ll admit is hardly a subsitute for good moral fiber) so it has a pretty good chance of working
