I am very excited about this podcast! I just got back from reading the Sirens episode at our local library's first Bloomsday event. I too gave up the first time, partly because I'd gotten the book from the library and knew I'd never get it finished within the 30-day loan period. So, a few years later I discovered various etexts online and began again. But this time I recorded and released MP3s of my readings, which made it more difficult to give up. The results, flawed as they are, are at http://joycecast.podomatic.com. Thanks, Frank, for helping to make 'Ulysses' seem less daunting. Also, thanks for 'The Amethysts' and 'Pearl', which I list among my favorite novels.

My Book Group has chosen Ulysses as its summer read. I am so grateful for this podcast. It is really helpful. I look forward to it every week. Your voice is great as well.
Thanks for assisting me through the journey.

I was fortunate to be in Dublin for Bloomsday in 2001. I had prepared for the trip by listening to Dubliners read by various actors while walking each morning in the park.
We stayed near the Joyce Center, and rose early to attend all the festivities. We were excluded from the steak and kidney and Guinness breakfast, but went next to the Irish Writers Center to hear the first chapter, "Stately, plump Buck Mulligan..." We hiked all over town with the groups, some reading and some acting the parts out. The chapter acted near the Joyce Center was bawdy and funny, with night gowned women on iron frame beds. The walks proceeded through the University, a book store, and more, ending in a bar, upstairs, where Ulysses was read from, in Polish. By that time, we were "famished entirely" and repaired to an Italian restaurant to finish the evening. Ulysses is the mix of high and low art, the sacred and profane, the timeless and the ephemeral. I try not to miss Bloomsday. I even won a Joyce trivia contest at one event.....Thanks for this!
