During the almost seven years that I had a biweekly show on KZYX, Aigner did nothing to help me. Nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch. I planned all my own shows. I scheduled all my own guests. Every single one. I outlined all shows. Prepared all questions. And, I did all my own follow-up, including thanking guests. 

Do you know what a program director does, John? I do -- my father was one for many years at radio stations in San Francisco, Tuscon, and Pittsburgh.

I'll let wikipedia take over from here:

> Typically, a program director decides what radio program or TV program will be broadcast and when.


I would NEVER want a program director intruding on the content of a show I did by outlining, preparing questions, or anything else. That isn't a program director's job.

It's funny how the people who complain about Mary Aigner tend to be those whose shows she's cancelled.
