The show closed in October last year, but this two hour long episode is "animated, by humans," says host Marc Maron - including additional information and photographs from the recording, but without actually animating the main interview. It's well worth a watch as a different, and sustainable, way to visualise.
  • Other non-video visualisation examples include this BBC World Service show (visualised by 1UpMedia); HBO's Ricky Gervais Show, or Liquid Studio's visualisation of the Podnews daily podcast - a final episode of which will be published today as part of a week-long pilot.
