Give me more than that! Why? Have you listened to it? Why did you like if you did?

I've got to put in a plug for "My Man Jeeves" read by sjmarky

Henry and I have been listening to this one in the car lately. Mark reads these hilarious stories beautifully, with a wonderful sparkle and a light touch. Thoroughly enjoyable and laugh-out-loud funny.

OK, so I'm having a hard time remembering, and motivating myself to do this each week. As with everything at LV, if you're not having fun you shouldn't be doing it anymore. Fortunately in the case of this project, it's not necessary to LV. However, this is where I put in my request.

I would like to turn the reins over to anyone who wants to take over the Weekly Picks for LV. You don't have to do things exactly as I did, and you can turn it into your own project if you'd like. If a non-admin would like to take this over (which is probably likely), I can post the Wordpress pages and upload the sample of the recording to archive.org.

If anyone would like to take this over, please respond in this thread. If we have multiple people who would like to do it, well let's see what we can work out.

You can also find it here and here. Of course there won't be anything new posted until I can find someone who wants to take over.
