Why not just call it Monday Reads now that it’s more or less a permanent fixture?
The “Most trodden paths” maps are fascinating, especially the London one – there’s an waful lot going past my local pub!

I do hope Uber are not attempting the same tactics in London – would that, of itself, be illegal behaviour … ( IANAL & all that ) ?

I would prefer to keep it as “Monday’s Friday Reads”. The brand started for a reason and why not carry on. As an oddity it also reflects the quirkiness of some of the articles. Perhaps quirky articles could come on a Monday and serious matters on a Friday?
Whatever you call it, please keep the mixture of articles.
