show was part of Air America's paid podcasting service. The show was officially scheduled from 1AM - 3AM ET. Due to contractual issues at KTLK, the show was frequently delayed by Los Angeles Clippers broadcasts and postgame shows during the basketball season. As of April 10, 2006, the show moved to being pre-recorded between 5PM - 7PM PT. Syndication by Air America was scheduled to start on April 17, 2006, but changes in the AAR management team delayed that event. Talks between Maron and AAR management continued, according to Maron, and because the management team refused to syndicate the show, Maron chose to exercise an escape clause in his contract when the syndication clause was not honored. Regular features Marc Maron's Short Order News - Maron's take on the day's news; airs at the top and bottom of the show Dick (as in Cheney) of the Day - the most reprehensible person of the day as chosen by Maron; airs at the bottom of the show Liberal Confessional - Maron and callers confess their less-than-progressive moments Wheel of Anger - Rants by Earl Weekly Remembrances with Mort Mortensen - Earl disrespects the recently dead Movie reviews with Svetlana, the Russian prostitute - contributor Iris Bahr Catchphrases Opening: "Good evening, geniuses, philosopher kings and queens, working class heroes, progressive utopians with no sense of humor, lurking conservatives..."
