The Age of Fables

This is great: very informational. However, it gets confusing because these guys don&#39;t know how to properly pronounce the names of many people and things. Here are a few:
Delphi: DELL-FEE; not DELLF-EYE
Gaea: GUY-AH; not G-UH
Hera: HAIR-UH; not HERE-UH
Oceanus: O-SHION-US; not O-C-ION-US
Aegis: AY-GUS; not AY-JUS

maybe because they&#39;re British.... Too bad. LEARN YOUR NAMES, PEOPLE!

Drives me crazy....

I was getting into this podcast and the interesting tidbits just poured out but where&#39;d it go?

And?
