“As a woman who has long argued for the equitable treatment of women, I am highly alert to sexism and discrimination and I sensed absolutely none of that in his greeting.”

The post was shared more than 800 times, and several Facebook users commented that it seemed like the radio station was being too sensitive.

St. Louis Public Radio tweeted on Sunday that its management “did not take issue with Don for his in-person or on-air greeting” of Foss.

Madalyn Painter, the station’s director of marketing and digital media, said in an interview that Marsh was “an amazing host” and that he “was never asked to resign, nor did we want him to resign.”

Foss could not immediately be reached for comment.

Marsh told the Post-Dispatch that a producer had complained about his greeting of Foss. He said he was called into a meeting with two managers before going on the air Wednesday, in which one of them said they wanted to “put this behind us.”
