Making an HBO special, comedian Marc Maron tells Rebecca Ford, is “one of the bucket list, kind of grail-type of things. It’s a prestige thing. It’s almost like Netflix is—well, I don’t want to call it a dumpster fire—but it’s just sort of a repository for everything, and nothing has any priority unless the algorithm dictates it. Whereas HBO is like, it’s a curated game over there.” That’s just the start of their revealing interview, in which Maron also discusses working through the loss of his partner, Lynn Shelton, onstage. “It made sense to move from aging and my father’s dementia into the grief,” he says. “There are separate themes there, but they do seem to be about mortality and the way that the world is going.”
