Hi Marc! I’ve listened to WTF for a while now, and one of my favorite parts of my experience with the show is that I associate a few episodes with very specific places. I started listening when I lived in Le Mans, France for a year and I was training for a half marathon, so you accompanied me on a lot of my long runs. I remember listening to you speak to Bryan Cranston running around Avenue Rubillard, and to Penn Jillette in a neighborhood across from Université du Maine. You and Amy Poehler spoke to me in my little apartment on Avenue du Général Leclerc. I was on a train between Paris and Lyon when I listened to the live episode with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, and I had to pause during the segment where Odenkirk talked about the funny extra eating because I was laughing too hard for a public place. So even if you’ve never been to those specific places, in a way you have.

Having listened to so many episodes, I feel close to you as though you’re a friend even though we will probably never meet. I would imagine that my experience isn’t uncommon, so what is it like for you knowing that many strangers feel so close to you?

If you read this, thank you for your show. It’s really wonderful, and I’ve felt both joy and heartbreak listening to it. And I think that’s the mark of something good.

Oh man! MMJ has been spinning a lot on my turntable recently! I saw you guys headline Wakarusa a few years ago and it was one of the absolute best shows I've ever been to.

3 questions:

1) What is your favorite song or guitar riff that you've written?

2) How extensive will your solo tour be?

3) I just recently brewed a beer while listening to multiple MMJ albums, so I decided to name it after the band. I've narrowed it down to two choices--MMJ's IPA or Jim James' Furry Boots Brew. Which do you prefer?
