6. Todd Glass Comes Out Of The Closet
It could be argued that Marc Maron's specialty on WTF is conducting humorous but also introspective interviews with comedians. He has interviewed countless people from many fields, but a large overarching theme of the podcast is providing a peek into the psyche of a comedian.
Todd Glass's 2012 episode of Maron's show was a prime example of this, when he used the show as a platform to publicly come out as gay. He spoke about how he had previously been reluctant to come out to the public, but a string of recent LGBTQ+ youth suicides prompted him to go on the podcast and do it.
Glass's appearance is an inspiring and heartfelt account of his experience as a closeted gay man, as well as his concern for LGBTQ+ youth and society's attitude towards them. It's clear that it is a big and emotional moment for Glass and Maron provides an empathetic and comfortable space for him to speak about it.
