I don’t like mismanagement or frankly any authority figures, but unless Barnes is proven familiar with the distinctions and differences of podcasting as a medium, having someone she answers to who is seems reasonable. Terrestrial radio content can/should differ greatly from podcast content. If there is a personality clash between Barnes and her boss, that will complicate things, but all bosses complicate things, in my experience.
