I've just listened to the Gordon podcast and am now heartily sick of hearing Klosowski's name mispronounced. I cringed every time.
It should be pronounced "Kwo-sof-ski" or "Kwo-sov-ski".
That's "Kwo", not "Klo", because it's not an L but a letter we don't have in English which is pronounced like the English W.
And that's "Sov" to rhyme with Nov(ember), or "Sof" to rhyme with "off" (depending on which region of Poland you come from) and never SOW (to rhyme with cow).
You're welcome!
