Last week, after 28 years at the station, KUOW staple Steve Scher abruptly resigned. The former Weekday host took to Facebook to assure listeners that leaving KUOW was something he’d been “thinking about a long time,” and that his plan is to give “an honest attempt at the writer’s life.” Naturally, Scher’s decision inspired a flood of reaction online: “Writing is a good thing—I’m sure you have much more to say, contribute Steve!” —Peter Steinbrueck, via Facebook • “I’m sorry to say that Steve Scher drove me away from KUOW years ago. He was a public radio caricature of himself.” —Ryan Packer, via Twitter • “Good Luck and Happy Trails. You will be missed.” —Essex Porter, via Twitter • “Good fucking riddance.” —Anthony Scott, via Facebook
