Internationally renowned author Simon Winchester (who also holds an OBE, by the way) joins us to talk about The Professor and The Madman. Did you know that large portions of the vaunted Oxford English Dictionary were written by a criminally insane man? Oh yes, it is true and Simon tells us of this intriguing story behind the title of his best selling book.

You can find the book at Amazon.com:

The Professor and the Madman (P.S.)

Thanks Simon!
