Libaries?
Replayed numerous times. Mispronouncing a word that is often mispronounced by the youth of America, not by professional journalists.
Apparently You corrected it in the middle of the show (assuming Courtney may have slacked/texted) but near the end the mispronunciation was obvious. Not the end of the world, but I do have a high standard for you both.
Reading some other reviews that are dogging the show post Kai- be better on the little stuff like this.
