What are you waiting for?

This is my letter to the station managers... David, Kate (spelling?) Look I am sorry, I need to let you know that I am choosing to leave the show due to both creative and personal differences. I have had absolutely no creative influence on the show although TJ and I were supposed to be developing it together. The show no matter what TJ says was my idea, and to not be able to see any of my vision realized was quite frustrating. I understand that it was never "our" show but solely TJ's show due to the fact that you are his"connection" and thus I would never have gotten on the radio without him, he even told me that he has your agreement on this matter. That matter can be expounded upon, but whats the point? I dont feel that I need to complain or gain agreement or pity, Im just telling my side. Also, I had a personal issue with some of the show's content, I dont find it at all acceptable in any way to make fun of someone, (Anna Nicole Smith) on her day of passing, TJ attempted to spin her death announcement in a humorous light, and I cut him short. I am nowhere near P.C. but there are certain lines of personal integrity I will not cross and that is one of them, I have loved ones, I dont want to hear people making fun of my sister when she dies...Then there was the special needs mentally disabled children under foster care who were kept in wooden crates and cages. I find this kind of situation offensive and not the subject of laughter, TJ thinks that there could be a funny take to this type of story. I do not. Last in the subject of ill content, was the last segment of the last show, please listen if you havent heard. I hope you understand why I got upset when I was called "sick" by TJ three times, while trying to convey an observation. I cannot abide by TJ inferring that I was of questionable moral character. That is how I took his comments. We have had several conversations regarding this and I dont believe that he grasps why I was not amused by his connotations, and lame attempts at humor at my expense. I have never made off color remarks like that about him. And I didnt know that I was there for him to make fun of in inappropriate ways. I wish to thank you for the opportunity, I really enjoyed being on the air, although I was a bit reserved not wanting to slip and swear and get myself/the station in trouble, I took that responsibility very seriously, perhaps too seriously. I mean maybe after I got more used to it I would have been able to relax and be more like myself. Well, anyways, I went back to persuing my vision, I talked to a few people I feel are intelligent, atriculate and represent a great demographic cross-section, and have already recruited at least 5 members of an 8 member culturally diverse podcast show panel. I have a 60 year old African American Female Dentist, a 47 year old Chinese American Male Chiropractor, 29 year old Causasian Male Electrician, a 24 year old Multi-Ethnic Female Student...and I dont argue with any of these people! My vision was a relaxed show with intelligent, humorous banter about relevant ISSUES! Not the days news. Since the panel will be mostly roving (rotating panel members) I would love to have either or both of you come and be part of our panel sometime. I hope to just play the role of Moderator, much akin to Bill Maher, but I do not intend to emulate him. I had a great time, I wish TJ and I could have come to an understanding, but he seems to be stuck on not being wrong, and wont acknowledge that even had a legitimate reason any of the times I did get upset, let alone my lack of influence on the show. I dont need for him to be wrong, I just need for him to see how and why my feelings got hurt, so we can avoid a similar situation from happening again. Perhaps the amount of wine being consumed has something to do with it...Perhaps not, I only know, that I feel that I am not heard by TJ on and off the Air. I hope we can continue our acquaintance, you guys take care...Marco aka The Stick-Man
