Terrible reader

Such an interesting (for me anyway) subject; and concise and fairly clear writing. But, oh dear, the reader can't pronounce any of the names. Most of the names I already knew, I was able to recognise, but with difficulty! As to the names I did not recognise, who were they? No indication is given. Why not have a reader who knows at least a bit about what he is reading? Or who is willing to learn the conventional pronunciation of historical names?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
