Kathleen, you make me want to listen to Ulysses! The program sounds terrific.
Thanks for the link! The @BBCRadio4 all day celebrations of Bloomsday were fabulous. If you were ever afraid to read it [or finish reading it], Ulysses makes a lot more sense when you hear it. And arts commentator Mark Lawson filled in background with interviews all around Dublin. I’m hoping to access the last two parts I missed on the BBC play it again feature. Yes! Yes! I said Yes!
