Episode description

This episode we're diving into radix sort! The word has no relation to Raid, so it is definitely non-toxic and you don't have to bug out. It IS, however, a great integer sorting algorithm, and the first one at that! Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Getting To The Root Of Sorting With Radix Sort".
