My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A collection of responses from some of the interviewed celebrities featured in the (in)famous WTF! podcast, seperated into themes of life rather than just straight forward transcriptions. Mental Health; Kids; Addiction - each category contains funny, poignant, sad, relatable and unusual tales from the stars, all of which will keep you interested a second time as you read rather than listen.
Each life segment comes with an introduction written by Marc of why that topic is important or relevant to him and how it's affected his existence. With guests ranging from comedians such as Robin Williams and David Sedaris, to musicians such as Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen and even ex President Barack Obama, the format of podcast has this interesting range of guests share details about their existence they perhaps wouldn't feel comfortable doing in other, more formal scenarios.
There's also a delightful forward written by John Oliver.
If you're a fan of the podcast, I found this an interesting way to collate some of the highlights, and to know that everyone - even the people we elevate to near superhuman levels - has their shit. If you don't know the podcast you'll find this eye opening. Definitely worth a go.
