Nice little read on Chick.

I was just about to post that. Personally I didn't care for Drew, neutral more than anything on Glenn, liked Ryan. I can't really speak on the latter two.

He wrote a few paragraphs about letting these guys go, and then 3 plus pages about how great he is?
That was really really weird.

I just found the whole thing a bit odd..
Look, it's his baby, he can hire and fire whomever he pleases, just thought the approach in the "letter" was a bit over the top self promotion. But to be fair again, it's his gig.

For Nestor? It would be weird if he DIDN'T do that. That's who he is.
I really enjoyed Drew and Luke in the morning, and thought Glenn did a great job on his own as well. Maybe Nestor will just be on all day since he's so awesome and all. He is absolutely unlistenable to me, but I guess some people like him.

I'd see you lasting about 2 days over there...I think it's fair to say that you're not exactly the type to hold back.
That's a compliment by the way.

Do we have any idea why he did this?
I mean, they are pretty poor and knowledge isn't good but they have been loyal to Nestor.
Is he trying to bring more knowledge?

Screams to me a business move, as in, not doing well. Getting rid of salary, while filling content working yourself (whom you don't have to pay).

Word I've heard is that it was advertising driven, not personal.

That 4 page manifesto was hilarious. Flat arbitron ratings. Unimpressive web analytics and social reach as well.
I don't see any chance that he is looking to add 'talent.'
There are a number of theories out there... but w/e, I'll wait and see what Nestor says in his next manifesto.

You'd read all about it in chapters 1-8,462 of "The Peter Principles", I'm sure.

Nestor with 6 more pages on his changes..
http://wnst.net/wnst...st-net-am-1570/
His show will be replayed throughout the day. He wasn't happy with how things were going, he's making the change... he likes his chances.
