Just a quick note: I apologize for leaving podcasters stumbling over how to pronounce my last name.
“Gahran” sounds like the first two syllables of “guarantee.” It also rhymes with “Karen” and “barren.” Despite the oddly placed “h,” do not confuse it with “Graham.”
UPDATE: I’ve added an MP3 audio file, so you can hear it for yourself and enjoy a little family myth about my last name. (Right click that link to download it to your computer or MP3 player.)

Waiting for your soundfile. ;o))
I should have know you would pop here Nicole!
OK, OK, I’ve added a sound file. No guarantees about the production values, but it’s very short. Enjoy
