Summary:
Each week over a million and a half listeners tune into the WTF with Marc Maron podcast to hear Marc and a guest do something remarkable: talk. Waiting for the Punch is not simply a selection from these interviews, but instead a running narrative of the world's most recognizable names working through the problems, doubts, joys, triumphs and failures we all experience. With each chapter covering a different topic: parenting, childhood, relationships, sexuality, success, failures and others, it becomes a sort of everyman's guide to life. Barack Obama candidly discusses the challenges of the presidency, and the bittersweet moments of seeing your children grow up and away from you. Bruce Springsteen speaks on the dual nature of desperation to both motivate and devastate. Amy Schumer recounts the pain of a parents' divorce. Marc Maron is a stand-up comedian, actor, podcast host and the author of Attempting Normal. He lives in Los Angeles. Brendan McDonald is the co-creator of WTF with Marc Maron.
