Listening to it live over the air it did not come off to me, at least, as cynical or self-centered. But I must admit I'm very disappointed he's leaving. He mentioned several times this morning during different breaks how much he had appreciated listeners and all the great music through the years – but he was oblique about this being his last show until the very end segment. His tone, which doesn't carry through in simple text, was warm enough. He's always gregarious over the air.
Carl Hampton, in his goodbye Friday, was very warm and effusive about his time with the "station," also characterizing his final show as a "so long" rather than "goodbye."
I thought they were handled well enough, but casual listeners who don't know what is going on with WW1 probably were baffled to some extent.
