I LOVE the podcast and have listened to each episode (so please receive the following as tough love). Craig Cohen's pronunciation of "Menahem" Golan (z'l) was an abomination on par with Apollo's exhibition against Drago. Craig, I think you skipped Hebrew school as a child to go to arm wrestling tournaments with your dad. :)
"Menahem" is a Hebrew name (meaning "Comforter/One who comforts"). The "h" makes the same sound as the "h" in "Hanukkah" (it's the guttural, from the throat, Hebrew letter "chet." Not the English language "h" sound). As to your question of where Menahem was born: he was born in what was then called "Palestine," but is now considered Israel.
Well, now you know you have a fan of the podcast in Israel (which, by the way, is where Rambo III was partially filmed).
Keep putting out great content, and don't forget the lessons you learned in Hebrew school :)
