I'm extremely apprehensive about listening to the Anthony Bourdain interview. I like No Reservations but I get the feeling it would be a real chore to hang around with the guy.

I like both Maron (what little I've heard) and Bourdain (heard and seen a lot of him, including a live talk).  I have the feeling that they're a lot, a lot, a lot alike.  I don't know whether that makes for good radio or bad.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I think every episode is worth listening to regardless of the guest. A lot of my favorite episodes are guests I'm not super huge fans of, and some of the times when I am (Hannibal Buress comes to mind) the episode is a total B-.
The opening chat of the Dr. Steve episode nearly made me cry.

I've listened to every episode, so I agree with you. I listened to the Bourdain and enjoyed it. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but I didn't get it. His TV persona is one of those swaggering dum-dums who thinks that talking about how much he loves to eat meat makes him more of a macho man or something, but in the interview he came across as much more insecure and thoughtful, which made for good listening.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Just finished up the Penn Jillette interview.  Very entertaining. Loved the Al Goldstein story.

I've seen Penn & Teller four times over the last twenty years and every time has been totally different and well worth it. Also, they sign autographs after every show and are unfailingly polite and gracious.

Penn also had his own radio show a few years back. It was generally a bit iffy (you're either a talk radio host, or your not), but his interviews with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, as well as the Mythbusters guys, were very entertaining. Apparently, all Libertarian Atheists hang out all the time and are generally great interviews.
If I tried, I could probably make at least six figures for shaking my moneymaker.

Kevin Pollak's interview is gross. 

I should attempt to spell his name right, though.

I loved the Penn Jillette interview. I wasn't a fan going in but now I am - he's got great stories! And worked hard, studying schtick when he was young at the tv&radio museum and stuff. He did the work, as Tom likes to say.

Am I the only one who was disappointed that the Mary Lynn Rajskub interview didn't mention Girls Guitar Club? I love this movie!!

I LOVE Girls Guitar Club. Don't want to admit how hard I looked for a higher resolution version of this a year or so ago.

I agree there should be a hi-res version somewhere! Also this is one of the first movies directed by Ruben "Zombieland" Fleischer! I love his work.

Hey this looks higher-res!

Thinking about how Marc and Tom finally did each other's shows this past year...

Is there a reason why Louis C.K. has never appeared on TBSOWFMU?

Louis CK did appear, in the form of him saying 'Hi' during one of Todd Barry's call-ins.
