Summary

For the two-year anniversary of No Guitar Is Safe, I am proud to bring you a guitar hang with "the Jimi Hendrix of podcasting," MARC MARON. I met up with the famed interviewer/comedian/actor (and, yes, guitarist) in his now-legendary garage — the same place he has interviewed everyone from famous actors, musicians, and comedians to President Obama. The garage is also the same place where, as you'll hear, Marc likes to crank up vintage amps and play the blues. (Check out Maron's new hit comedy series, GLOW, which is binge-watchable now on Netflix!) Thanks for listening to No Guitar Is Safe. JUDE GOLD Host, No Guitar Is Safe

Mark Merrin's little back spot that is the Abbey Road of podcasting.

beginning. Sometimes he's got an earthquakeer devices pedal plugged in. He's got all kinds of cool

toys, but mostly he's got this vintage gear and he's got this vintage soul, man. an old blues dog and I just I couldn't wait to sit down with him and play we just went totally bareback today in terms of
