Announced on his Twitter feed today, comedian Marc Maron landed a podcast interview with President Barack Obama scheduled to be recorded Friday morning. Titled WTF, the podcast is recorded within Maron’s garage located in Highland Park, Los Angeles. The podcast has seen significant success on iTunes, often climbing to the number one slot in the comedy section.

According to details of the interview, the White House reached out to the comedian a few weeks ago to set up the meeting. President Obama will be Maron’s only guest during the recording and the podcast is expected to be published on Maron’s iTunes channel as well as other sources on Monday, June 22.

Of course, Maron’s podcast is no stranger to popular guests. Over the last 600 recorded episodes, popular Hollywood guests have included Zach Galifianakis, Anna Kendrick, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Elijah Wood, Jonah Hill, Amy Poehler, Louis CK and Chris Rock. His most recent guest was director Judd Apatow.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that Obama has been interviewed by a comedian. While Zach Galifianakis’s web show “Between Two Ferns” is a farcical take on celebrity interviews, Obama appeared with the comedian in one of the episodes during early 2014 to crack a few jokes as well as promote the Affordable Care Act.

Releasing a statement about the upcoming interview, Maron said “This is a big day for our country, for me and for my cats. I’m looking forward to a respectful conversation with the President. I’m calling it the WTF Summit. I hope he’s cool with that.“

The Walmart Plus free trial is your chance to check out what the retail giant has to offer. Walmart Plus is basically Amazon Prime for Walmart. You get free shipping on most orders, early access to deals and new product drops (like PS5 restocks), the best grocery delivery, and more. If Walmart is your go-to option for the best smart home devices or the best tech products in general, you should get a membership. If you want to test out the service, you can sign up for a free trial. We have all the information you need right here.
Is there a Walmart Plus free trial?
There is a Walmart Plus free trial available, and it’s one of the best free trials we’ve seen in terms of how many great features and conveniences you’re able to access. This is really a reflection of how great the Walmart Plus service is, as the Walmart Plus free trial is essentially a 30-day experience of what it would be like to be a paid Walmart Plus subscriber. A Walmart Plus membership can help you save over $1,300 per year, so taking advantage of the 30-day free trial is a great way to get in there and see what those savings will look like. And if grocery delivery is what you're really after, an alternative you might consider is the Instacart free trial -- they have more than one program to try!

As part of a Walmart Plus free trial, you’ll get free shipping with no minimum order, so even small orders will qualify for free shipping. You’ll get fresh groceries and more with no delivery fees, and all at the same low in-store prices Walmart shoppers are used to. Walmart Plus members, and Walmart Plus free trial members, get exclusive access to special promotions and events, as well as a savings of up to 10 cents per gallon on fuel. A new addition to the perks of being a Walmart Plus member is free access to Paramount Plus, a top-notch streaming service with more than 40,000 TV episodes and movies. All of this is accessible for 30 days through a Walmart Plus free trial, and once those 30 days are up, Walmart Plus is just $8.17 per month or $98 annually.

Windows includes many interesting tools, but if you’re like many people, more and more of your digital life is happening in your web browser and nowhere else. That being the case, you’ll want to keep your most important websites close at hand. The easiest way to access them in Windows is the Start menu and the taskbar, treating them more or less like programs in and of themselves.

Although easy overall, getting a website from your browser to your taskbar is slightly different depending on which browser you’re using.
