Re: Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 102 - jo

Hi, just FYI. I've got the section ready but I'm not sure yet what do with it. Reading it, it does seem to me that just sticking it (chapter 3 of a book, as it is) in this collection, it would probably feel too abrupt... assuming anyone would be interested in listening to it, that is :lol: I think ...
