Volume 47 · Dave PattersonPronouncing historical names
Dave Patterson asks How in the world do you learn to say some of the name of the various characters from history? The recent one on Madagascar really stumped me.
Thanks for asking, Dave, because this is one of the most difficult things I have to do. For the recent episode on Queen Ranavalona, it probably took me a full 10 minutes to record the first sentence of that episode. It was probably one of the most difficult episodes I ever had to record.I talked about this on Everything Everywhere Weekly, where Joel Hermansen and I go over the week’s previous episodes.
Suffice it to say, it isn’t easy, and I often have to repeat a word multiple times before trying to record it to make sure I get it right.
