I can do whatever I want to. I'm completely independent. NPR over the years began taking itself enormously seriously -- as it should. In the end I was so micromanaged that they were telling me how to pronounce syllables of words.
This is clearly just pettiness directed at me, ... It baffles me that they are going to these petty extremes, especially when I am still an outspoken supporter of public radio and NPR specifically.
