First thing this morning I went to
podcastawards.com and voted for my beloved
BigFatty, as you all should!
I love and adore him, but it is a difficult thing to do, because I also love
The BigLesbianSexShow with Matt and Veegie for example and all the others (except for one too bloated and too full of themselves to endure, but that's a whole different story).
I do not understand how all this nomination process worked but it is completely incomprehensible to me why
Auntie Vera was not among the top ten. Her podcast is technically outstanding. She puts an incredible amount of work and effort into her shows for our entertainment and she is a professional on all levels. She is funny, wise and shows us her emotional sides, her inmost feelings, her weaknesses and fears to a degree that she really creates a deep and wonderful bond between her and her lovies. So many of us have profited from her work and her creativity. She is always there for us, not only within her podcast, but also via email, twitter or what have you.
I could not imagine the podosphere without my wonderful Auntie. She gives me warmth and love and so much to laugh and think about. This is why I hereby would like to honour our dearest
Auntie Vera Charles (which includes her ingenious husband Myron Gooch and her valiant little Conscience) with the
International Lovies' Choice Award for the best podcast 2009 - vicariously for you all.

Your listeners do choose all of you marvellous podcasting people out there every day you publish something new and I think you all have more than earned an award for what you do. Everybody in their very own way and fashion are the best and I, like so many of your listeners would like to thank you with all my heart for what you do.
Thank you all
