    How do you make a dictionary? Have you ever thought about it? It's a stupid amount of work.
    In the late 1800's, a group of word nerds teamed up with Oxford University to create the best, most encompassing dictionary of all time. The problem was it was far too hard of a task, so they resorted to asking for volunteers to help.
    Thousands offered their skills, but one man stood above the rest, contributing more than anyone else by leaps and bounds, and he did it from the confines of an insane asylum.
    Join us today as we discuss the interesting history of the Oxford Dictionary.
