A volatile business

A DJ I knew told me that he thought one of the other DJs at his station "sounds alright on the air, but for morning drive, I think (this DJ) is a little lacking in ability."

At the time, neither of us knew that the DJ making this comment would soon become the station's program director--and that the DJ of whom he spoke wouldn't be doing morning drive there much longer.

Beware the perils of regime change--especially in an industry that's built on subjective decisions.
