According to Folkenflik's report, Barnes and NPR Senior Vice President for Programming and Audience Development Anya Grundmann "often disagreed on which podcasts or innovations to pursue".
"We're not even sure who's on the field. We don't have a flip card in front of us. We don't know if there's any major injuries or if there's anybody missing."
“I look forward to working with our team, our listeners and our supporters in the weeks and years ahead to put more ‘public’ in public media by better serving all our communities."
