Episode 1465 - Maria Bamford

Maria Bamford is not only one of Marc’s favorite comics, she’s one of Marc’s favorite people to talk with, as evidenced by her six appearances on WTF.

The two friends and colleagues compare notes on where they’ve been, how they got here and how they’re doing with this life thing anyway.
