Thanks Jim for showing good sense here. Maybe it's the dog days of
summer or the silly season, but somehow spinning skullduggery out of a
tiff between Coleman and the radio station and trying to attach Peter
McLaughlin to it is really over the top.
But for Janet Robert to hire him for a radio producer job is
just goofy - wouldn't she want to hire someone who had
actually done production before?
Air America is about 20 minutes old as an entity. If you'll notice from
hugely successful radio, tv, and movie folks like, say, Garrison Keillor
or Jim Hensen, and if you read or hear the credits, you'll see that
their success is due, in substantial part, to starting with a fairly raw
team/crew and continuing with that same group, as much as possible, over
a long span of time so they can grow into a reliable, popular team.
If I were in Janet Roberts position at a new and exciting endeavor, I'd
go for the bright, personable one every time, let her/him work through
OJT, and see what he/she comes up with.
