The Dictionary of Sydney has teamed up with 2SER 107.3 to present a regular live segment on Sydney's history. Tim Higgins is the new Breakfast Show host on 2SER and he's crazy for Sydney's history. Tim has invited the Dictionary of Sydney to be a regular part of his show. Each Wednesday at 8.20am Tim will be chatting with historian and Dictionary Chair, Lisa Murray. Together they'll be delving into the Dictionary's rich content to discover something amazing, confounding or just plain interesting about Sydney's history and sharing it with you.

This week was the Dictionary's debut! Tim and Lisa went straight for some political intrigue, chatting about one of Sydney's shady political figures Thomas John Ley. Ley was a self-made politician that tried his hand at local, state and federal politics in 1920s and 1920s. 'Lemonade' Ley was not as squeaky clean as his nickname first suggests, and there were allegations aplenty as his opponents started to mysteriously disappear. Don't worry if you missed the segment. Tim is podcasting the chats each week. And of course you can always find out more in the Dictionary of Sydney. Check out the entity listing in the Dictionary for Thomas John Ley that pulls together all the resources and mentions of this colourful Sydney character. There's a timeline, photo and entry written by Paul Ashton. Tune in next week to 2SER 107.3 on Wednesday at 8.20am for the Dictionary's next segment with Tim. We'll be tweeting a teaser on the topic every Tuesday evening to whet your appetite. And if you do forget, we'll be blogging and linking to the podcast. The Dictionary of Sydney and 2SER: two community organisations that are proudly bringing you Sydney's arts, culture and history.
