Summary: Marc Maron says he “didn’t know anything about anything” when he began working in radio. But producer Brendan McDonald can tell you the moment he knew Maron could be a radio star. It was during a morning show on the ill-fated Air America network, and then-host Maron was ranting about overcooked lentils. “The phones lit up,” said McDonald. The two went on to create <a href="http://www.wtfpod.com/"><em>WTF With Marc Maron</em></a>, the podcast now known for intense interviews with comedians, many of whom Maron quarreled with in the past. Maron’s latest book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1250088887/?tag=slatmaga-20"><em>Waiting for the Punch</em></a>, is a collection of interview excerpts.<br>In the Spiel, a few things Mike doesn’t understand about other people.
