Gouda Cheese Pronunciation, Dutch Exports, Scandinavian Cooking
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the show discussing the correct Dutch pronunciation of Gouda cheese versus the Americanized version. Dvorak references a Scandinavian cooking show and notes that Gouda, Holland, is famous for exporting candles in addition to its namesake cheese. The hosts joke about Dutch names and the phonetic differences between European and American English.
