Smothers Brothers featured on ‘WTF with Marc Maron’ podcast

Comedy podcast features an in-depth interview with our two local laughing legends.|

Guests who have visited Marc Maron’s iconic garage-based podcast studio include President Barack Obama (complete with Secret Service detail), Robin Williams and Pulitzer-Prize-winner Annie Baker. The star-powered guests, irreverent interview style and self-deprecating commentary has made “WTF with Marc Maron” one of the top-rated podcasts in the country.

This week, the hilarious host sat down with Sonoma Valley’s Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick. The conversation covers Brothers’ plans to return to the stage, the history of the variety show and their battle with a network that fired them, all spliced together with funny anecdotes and memories.

Maron also welcomes pop culture historian David Bianculli, who speaks about the Smothers Brothers’ impact on the comedy industry. This week’s episode of the podcast can be downloaded free at wtfpod.com.

Tommy Smothers sold his palatial ranch above Kenwood and Glen Ellen in 2019, downsizing to a smaller property in the region.
