- I did not want it to end
It is two years after you all recorded this, and I am now tuning in for the first time, after having finally finished Ulysses. The words are still fresh, ringing in my mind, like hoofirons, and it is so wonderful to bathe in the stream of your insights, questions, and feelings about this book. Thanks for keeping the episodes up. Hopefully you or another trio will do this again someday.

Joyce and the readings are magical and magnificent. I swept away beauty performance and the text, but then snatched cruel out of this world by the horrific, miserable cacophonous in human intro and wrap up the podcast.

The intros and outros are very high volume and clear, but all of the chapter readings, particularly by men, are sometimes so low and low quality they are impossible to hear even when you turn your speaker all the way up. I've skipped entire chapters just to get to one I could hear clearly. The RTE Ireland production is... more
Apple Podcasts2nametaken47United States3 years ago - No thanks
Would have probably enjoyed this given the scale of the project, but can't bring myself to listen to women's changing room-predator, Eddie Izzard.
Why give a man like that a platform?
Such a jarring, woeful choice.
