I Was Mentioned On Coverville

I have been listening to the podcast Coverville ever since I discovered podcasting about 9 months ago. Brian Ibbot, the creator of Coverville, played a song I requested in his last show and even said my name “on the air”. He started off pronouncing my last name incorrectly but quickly corrected himself. I’m used to having people pronounce my last name with a long I instead of a soft i. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to pronounce my last name.
