Marc Maron to end his ‘WTF' podcast after 15 years of interviewing comics, actors, musicians, Obama
LOS ANGELES: Comic and actor Marc Maron said Monday that he's ending his popular and influential podcast 'WTF with Marc Maron' after nearly 16 years.
Maron said on a newly released episode that the last of the nearly 2,000 episodes he has hosted will be released later this year.
'Sixteen years we've been doing this, and we've decided that we had a great run,' Maron said. 'Now, basically, it's time, folks. It's time. 'WTF' is coming to an end. It's our decision. We'll have our final episode sometime in the fall.'
The 61-year-old Maron said he and producing partner Brendan McDonald are 'tired' and 'burnt out' but 'utterly satisfied with the work we've done.'
Maron was a veteran stand-up comic who had dabbled in radio when he started the show in 2009, at a time when stand-ups were trying out the form in big numbers, and many listeners still downloaded episodes on to iPods.

Vikramaditya Motwane has a mic-drop reaction to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos' comment on Sacred Games. See pic
After Anurag Kashyap, director Vikramaditya Motwane has defended their show Sacred Games. This comes after Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, in a podcast with Nikhil Kamath, said he was unsure whether Netflix debuting with Sacred Games was the right idea, adding that they should have started with something more 'populist' instead. (Also read: Anurag Kashyap calls Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos 'dumb' for take on Sacred Games: 'Should have started with saas bahu') Vikram took to his Instagram stories and shared IMDb's 'The 50 Most Popular Indian Web Series of All Time'. Sacred Games topped the list with an average of 8.5 stars compiled from 95,000 reviews. He circled the most popular part in the headline and added a mic drop meme to the story. On the WTF podcast with Nikhil Kamath, Ted Sarandos said, 'Our very first Indian original show was Sacred Games. And I thought, 'This is going to be great. People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie, it has movie stars.' What's interesting about it is that it was very, very novel, but what I didn't understand was that we were introducing a brand new kind of entertainment in a country the size of India,' he said. 'For me, if I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later, and did things that were more populist (instead)? Maybe. But we knew that India was going to be a slower journey to get to where we wanted to go. But it's a great prize, at the end of the day. The addressable market is growing in the next couple of years in India, so it's exciting," he added. Sharing a screengrab of a news report on Ted's statement, Kashyap took to Threads and wrote, 'He should have started with Saas Bahu .. he would have done well. Which he is doing now Z. I always knew the tech guys are dumb when it comes to story telling but ted sarandos is the definition of dumb is what I didn't know . Good to discover that. This explains everything now. (sic)' Sacred Games was Netflix India's first original. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane, it starred Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui and was received positively upon its release in 2018. Season 2, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, opened to mixed reviews, and the show was cancelled thereafter.

Netflix CEO Thought Sanjay Leela Bhansali Pitched Heeramandi To Hear A No: 'It's So Big'
Last Updated: Netflix's Ted Sarandos reveals Sanjay Leela Bhansali's bold Heeramandi pitch felt like a 'dare' as he opens up on the show's massive vision and journey. Sanjay Leela Bhansali decided to bring his signature grandeur to a streaming platform in 2024 and it turned heads. Known for his larger-than-life filmmaking, Bhansali had never made a series before. So when he pitched Heeramandi to Netflix, it wasn't just another meeting—it felt like a bold move. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, who was personally involved in the greenlighting process, shared how Bhansali presented his vision. 'Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision. Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production." Announced back in 2021, Heeramandi took nearly three years to complete and finally premiered in May 2024. Staying true to his cinematic style, Bhansali insisted on using massive real-life sets instead of digital backdrops, bringing old-school charm to modern streaming. 'He built these enormous, practical sets that we shot on. There was something beautifully old-fashioned about every element of the production. And he was so proud of it. I was so proud of him. To me, Heeramandi is a true reflection of India's deep, enduring love for cinema," Sarandos said during his chat on the WTF podcast hosted by Nikhil Kamath. About Heeramandi Set in Lahore during the pre-Partition era, Heeramandi tells a fictional story centered around the lives of courtesans in the city's red-light district. Bhansali first came up with the idea in 2007 as a feature film. He even considered casting Pakistani stars like Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Imran Abbas for the project. However, those plans were dropped after a 2016 unofficial ban on Pakistani artists in India. Eventually, the cast was led by Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha— each playing a part in Bhansali's grand vision for the screen.

Netflix top boss thought Sanjay Leela Bhansali pitched Heeramandi to them to be rejected: 'It almost felt like a dare'
When Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, was greenlit by Netflix, it was hailed as a landmark moment for Indian streaming. Bhansali has the legacy of being Indian cinema's most visually opulent showman. His films are larger-than-life and lavish. Hence, a series on the same scale was unthinkable. In a recent chat, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that he felt that the filmmaker almost wanted 'no' for an answer when he pitched the show. Speaking on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos talked about the scale of Heeramandi and said, 'Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision. Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production.' Announced in 2021, Heeramandi took almost three years to make and produce before it was released on the platform in May 2024. 'He built these enormous, practical sets that we shot on. There was something beautifully old-fashioned about every element of the production. And he was so proud of it. I was so proud of him. To me, Heeramandi is a true reflection of India's deep, enduring love for cinema,' Sarandos added. Heeramandi is a fictional tale set in the famous red light district of Lahore in pre-Partition undivided India. Bhansali had initially conceived the story as a film in 2007. It was later revived as a show in which Bhansali wanted to cast Pakistani actors Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Imran Abbas. But those plans had to be shelved due to the virtual ban on Pakistani artists in India after 2016. Heermandi stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.
