As always with a podcast - pronunciation of names is not unimportant, especially for a non Anglo Phone native speakers - like me.
German names seemingly giving a hard time.
I can sympathize with a name like PIRCH - but others like Friedland / Frydland /FREEDLUND - or Zieten / Zyten/ ZEETEN - could be pronounced without any efforts, like rolling off logs.
An ie - means a long i in German or in English a long e - like ee (freedom) and by no means and I or an Aye Aye.
So Friedland - would be pronounced like Freedlund (the a like in blunt) and Zieten like
Zeeten and not Zayeten.
So Freedlund / Friedland / Freedlund
Zeeten / Zieten / Zeeten
