It’s one of those pet peeves that rub me the wrong way, and they all seem to do it, whether it’s anywhere around The Ringer network, or the Earwolf network, or the Blank Check podcast to name a few, they always say “Ray” instead of “Ralph”.
The man’s real full name is Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, quite a fancy mouthful, but not even a hint of “Ray” or “Raymond” in there. Did everyone in the podcasting world decide to pronounce his name wrong on purpose?
This is the answer.
