Ep 37 - Fleet Street - Dr Samuel Johnson, multifaceted man

Hello fopdoodles! This week we are taking a look at the original collector of unusual words, Dr Samuel Johnson, and his English dictionary. What common word did he leave out, whilst including a very random other word? And what particular ailment did he have that would have raised eyebrows? Emily is answering those questions and many more in this week's podcast.   Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal and Emily gets her sweaty hands on the wheel again for another chance to see where we will get to chat about next week.
