The mania surrounding Serial has brought podcasts to the mainstream, and Slate just put together a pretty solid list entitled, "The 25 Best Podcasts Ever." Even for the uninitiated, you'll likely recognize some of the shows on this list: The Ricky Gervais Show, Comedy Bang Bang, The Moth, Radiolab, Hardcore History, This American Life, and WTF with Marc Maron sliding in at number one. Maron's two-hour interview with Louis C.K. was originally produced as a two-part episode in October 2010. At the time of the interview, the two comedians had been friends for roughly 25 years, and, as Maron notes in the show's introduction, it was a rocky friendship. Listen to Maron and Louie riff on comedy, big breaks, big failure, family, and much more here on Maron's website, where has posted the conversation as a single, uninterrupted episode for the first time.
