Okay Bloomsday was yesterday, but I did not get a chance to note that the Irish novelist Frank Delaney has started providing a podcast that explicated James Joyce's Ulysses line by line. In a year he has got to the end of Chapter One... and he's not a young man.
I think I'd rather go for a walk around town than listen, but it seems pretty heroic nonetheless
