Say what you will about Mike Arrington fueling lots of silly drama, but at least when something like this happens he's open about it and we get to hear his side of the story. By remaining tight-lipped, Dan's inviting lots of speculation. Which is worse?
Last fall, Dan, John Siracusa, Merlin, and Marco were enchanted by his new producer, Faith Korpi. A couple of months later she disappeared. Jake Erickson wrote the following on Quora: "She and Dan had a falling out. She was fired from 5by5, but was given Geek Friday back as a concession to Dan's other hosts. They are not speaking any more."
The fact that within the span of a few months Dan lost Let's Make Mistakes, The Talk Show, and the producer that his other hosts stuck up for strongly hints that there is something about Dan's off-air personality that rubs people the wrong way.
Thanks for clearing that up. It seemed weird that after making such a big deal about hiring Faith, Dan didn't say anything after she was clearly gone. I thought she added a lot to 5by5.
