“Thank you Steve for a brilliant podcast, I have enjoyed every minute of approximately 50 episodes. My only criticism is that you mispronounce some names, for example Basil (a as in bad) becomes Baysil (ay as in bay) this, of course isvan American thing, like Notre Dame being changed to Noter (as in boater) instead of something closer to Notra and Daym instead of something closer to Darm. The English speakers’ ear is poor at pronouncing foreign words and names, and no one could criticise Steve for mispronouncing difficult Latin, Greek or Hebrew names, but there should be at least an attempt to correctly pronounce easily pronounced names like Basil, and well used names like Notre Dame.”
