Section 4 has only one issue.

20:07 "heresy" sounds a bit slurred to sound like "heresay." (At least to me. Please have a listen.)

Gosh, you're good at this.

I'll try to get to the spot checks later today and will leave what else is available for tomorrow or the day after.

Section 4 uploaded, without a hint of heresay. Great catch. Thanks.

Section 5: PL OK!

Section 6:

11:05 You're missing a sentence here. "He has an easy time of it."

Section 7:

5:39 "Read" is likely in the past tense here, but the present tense works, I suppose. "Heine" is pronounced like HINE-uh.

13:43 and 14:20 "debauch" and "debauchery" in your pronunciation has a hint of an 'n' sound? To me it sounds strange. Please have a listen.

You're cookin' with gas! Great work!

The corrections were not uploaded for Sections 2 and 3. I did not check 4.

Am I looking in the wrong place? I just hit the listen button in the MW rather than downloading anything.

Don't know. I uploaded 2-4 again.

6 and 7 uploaded with all recommended changes. I appreciate your attention to each item you have cited thus far.

PL Tip: If a sentence, phrase or word is missing, it helps if you include a bit of what comes before and/or after. It's easier for you while you have eyeballs on the text, than for me to have to open the file, find the specific text to see exactly where to put the missing bit.

I don't think I've ever used the word "debauch" before, nor pronounced Heine, except as in reference to a baby's bottom. I've led a sheltered life.

Times in MW have been altered where necessary.

Is that pronounced "ploke" (to rhyme with "bloke")?

PLOK rhymes with 'block' along the North American eastern seaboard. As one heads to the west, the pronunciation 'ploke' becomes more common, especially among the young.

A good pointer! Will do!

Section 9 is in the MW.

Section 9 is quite good, though I feel I would be remiss if I did not mention the lovely bird call that one hears for a good length of time about 28:10. (I'm not certain how I should mark this.)

Your naming is good but I will provide some help if you wish to do more with them. (Of course, people pronounce names in many different ways.)

2:30 and 3:42 Herodotus has its accent on the second syllable. hair ODD uh tuss (rhymes with cuss)

17:19 Reger is RAY gare (rhymes with care)

29:05 is a fun one. Buxtehude is BOOK (rhymes with kook) zee hood (rhymes with mood) uh. Primary emphasis on BOOK and secondary on hood. I have also heard, somewhere, BEEK zee hood uh.

I will mark this section as PL OK, but will be happy to spot check if you wish to make any changes.

All instances of 9 are fixt-uh.

Thank you, Kevin for taking the time to help me sound more educated than I actually am-uh.

(I might not have appreciated your generosity so much if there were 15 or 20 instances of the same word mispronounced.)

Please note, I generally go online for pronunciation help when I'm not sure of a word, certainly when there are many repetitions, but for some reason I felt self-confident. After all, how can Buxtahude not sound like Bux-ta-hude?

Because it's German. Duh!
