New on this but long in the tooth! Is Tharg actually pronounced Tharg? I'm listening to the podcast and how Americans pronounce differently from Brits, Eyeraq for Iraq etc. I've been away for a long time so this may probably have been covered! So... is Tharg possibly pronounced Thaerg, is the g possibly silent, is the h silent! Has anyone actually heard Tharg speak???  :D

Yup, Tharg is indeed pronounced Tharg. Not Tharg, as some would suggest. But, in fact, Tharg.

His rosette of sirius seems to be translating his speech to be a bit more transatlantic than it used to, but the pronunciation of his own name seems to have stayed relatively consistent.

Madness. But then I've always pronounced "cursed" as "cursed".

I'm fairly sure "cursed" is "cursed" and not "cursed".  "The Cursed Earth" would just sound wrong!

Prog though is pronounced Prog as in Program, and not Prog as in Progressive Rock.

Even though everyone - EVERYONE - gets it wrong. This is the correct pronunciation.
