“For the most part, I enjoy listening. Little (and not so little) things have added up, though. I just listened to the barbarian kings episode, and Dana pronounced Ravenna at least three different ways. Pointing out mispronunciations might seem like nitpicking, but repeated errors (especially easily avoided ones) take me out of the story. Add that to some glaring factual inaccuracies (ahem, Spanish king, ahem) and I’ve almost vowed to stop listening. History is important and Dana and her team pick great stories. It’d just be nice to feel like they took a bit more care with accuracy and clarity (Google how to pronounce “papacy,” for example).”
