Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Eric Dombrowsky asks Very important question here. Is it Austin Oakton, or Austin Okton? I’ve heard both pronunciations in multiple episodes.
Yes, you are correct. When Austin became an Associate producer on Patreon, I had no idea how to pronounce his name. I looked around, gave it to some AI tools to try and get the correct pronunciation, and went with Oakton. What I should have done was just ask him, because despite the research I put into it, I got it wrong.
He sent me a message on Patreon telling me the correct pronunciation was OTT-ken.
I had prerecorded an outro with the wrong pronunciation, and I just haven’t updated it, which I really should do. When I read a review and do a custom outro, I’ve been using the correct pronunciation.
