Lexipoddery: the OED Podcast has just started its second series, available on the usual podcast platforms. The first episode of series two looks at words from the world of cinema but the second episode, available from today, takes a visit to the OED archives.
How would we describe Tolkien’s handwriting? What did Thomas Hardy want to tell us? Why did we get a Snoopy letter? Lexicographers Fiona McPherson and Craig Leyland are joined by the OED Archivist Beverley McCulloch to discuss the preservation of our historical record, and some of the notable correspondence within it.
