If you guys wanna help me out, to vote you have to add it to your favorites on SoundCloud. If you don't have an account, it takes 10 seconds to sign up. If not, maybe share it with some people who you think might like it? Anything helps really, and it means more than you might think.

Not really, Forbes just uses a giant font size. Also it's not split into a new page every three paragraphs like most sites.
