These podcast interviews seem to be revolutionary to me. Maron can be
fawning or unnecessarily complimenting at times, but he always lets his
guest tell their story and he can respond with compassion instead of
judgement. I don't listen to other celebrity interview podcasts so I don't
know how widespread this is. What I have observed over the years is that
older celebrities (besides rock stars) have become liberated from worrying
about PR issues and tabloid scandals and are more open to talk about
personal issues or former workplace nightmares.

Sally Struthers certainly felt confident enough to share her grievances
about Lear and the hurt she felt when comics made fun of her while she
worked for the Christian Childrens' Fund.
