Hello podsquad,
I love the podcast. You guys are great. One request...
I hate to sound like a nit, and nobody is perfect, but I'm a math teacher and it hurts me every time you guys say a number, for example "2008," but pronounce it "two-thousand and eight. Saying "and" while pronouncing a number is only to represent a decimal point, and the portion of the number spoken after the "and" represents the decimal (fractional) portion of the number.
You guys probably have youngsters listening and hopefully they have good math teachers and realize the way you guys pronounce it is wrong.
