Andy Trudeau leaves NPR. But how?
This morning on Weekend Edition Sunday, Liane Hansen offered a tribute to Andy Trudeau, who left NPR this past week after 27 years as a classical music producer and nine years as a guest on Weekend Edition to talk about Oscar-nominated music scores. This prompted me to send the following letter to WeSun@npr.org - in the unlikely event I receive any response, I’ll post it (or at least the information, since the email itself would be covered by creation copyright) here:
Morning!
Was interested to hear Liane Hansen’s tribute to Andy Trudeau; she mentioned that his leaving was overshadowed by that of Mr. Edwards.
But what she didn’t make clear, and I believe listeners would be interested to know, is whether Mr. Trudeau, too, was unceremoniously dumped by NPR management against the wishes of listeners, or whether he left voluntarily to pursue other opportunities.
Hum…that she didn’t mention may be telling…and that I need to ask should tell you how little faith in NPR your listeners now hold.
