  • Intelligent, funny, insightful podcastery

    I chose Ulysses as a school prize in 1974 and managed to stumble my way though it without understanding much more than the rude jokes. I then studied it as part of a university course helped by a library copy of the Gifford annotations. A few years later, I attended a hugely enjoyable evening class at taught by Pieter Bekker, coeditor of the James Joyce Broadsheet, who took us to Dublin to see the sights. There are photos in David Piece’s book ‘Reading Joyce’ that were taken on that same trip. more

  • A must for lovers of Joyce

    What a wonderful podcast (and blog), a must for any lover of Joyce from beginners to seasoned Joyceans. Touted as a “non-academic*” podcast don’t be fooled, amidst all the charm, cats, and faux master pupil relationship there is rigour and a great deal of research. But most importantly an abundance of humour, Kelly and Dermot wear their learning lightly. Bravo K&D, I’m so pleased I found your podcast.

  • Great Bloomers!

    After having read Ulysses a couple of times, read some guides and annotations, some academic papers, trawled through a hypertext version, and listened to the RTE performances (sometimes all at the same time), I thought I understood this book pretty well. more

  • A Wonderful and Not Intimidating Ulysses Podcast

    I’ve read the book through once before and just recently finished Finnegans Wake. I found the podcast through the episode / blog post about translating Finnegans Wake into Japanese and started listening and never stopped. Almost 60 episodes through and Kelly and Dermot do a great job of making it thought provoking while still casual and not overly (or unnecessarily) intellectual. more

  • Mustard keen

    Absolutely loving Kelly and Dermot’s journey through James Joyce’s Ulysses- their insights into the text and into Irish culture; their careful attention and litheness of mind, and most of all their commitment to Joyce’s modernist masterpiece makes these podcasts and the accompanying blog essential companions for anybody’s journey round the Dublin of June the 16th 1904. The mustard on the Gorgonzola sandwich indeed
