2.12 analysing Aeolus 1

Stephen & Bloom are in the same building and hopes rise that after six episodes, they will meet. It's at 4-8 Prince's Street North at the offices of sister newspapers, The Freeman's Journal and the Evening Telegraph. It's central Dublin, by Nelson's Pillar and the General Post Office. Here we'll find journalists and various hangers-on discussing the best form of oratory but is anyone doing any work? Let's hope so, the paper is due out in a few hours.This podcast forms part of an educational reading group and is intended for criticism, discussion, and study. James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) is in the public domain in the UK. This recording includes commentary, interpretation, and contextual explanation, and is not presented as a standalone audiobook. The readings in this podcast are provided for educational and discussion purposes. They are interwoven with commentary and analysis videos and are not intended to reproduce any specific commercial edition. The underlying text of Ulysses is in the public domain in the UK, and the reading here is part of a broader interpretive session. During sessions I refer to several editions of Ulysses for ease of navigation, including the Penguin Modern Classics edition or the Bodley Head 1993 'Gabler' edition or the Project Gutenberg e-book based on pre-1923 print editions. And may read from each and other editions. Page references are provided to help readers follow along in whichever edition they own. The reading itself is embedded within the broader commentary and discussion of the analysis podcasts and is not intended as a verbatim reproduction of any particular edition. This podcast contains or refers to commentary, analysis, and original discussion.© 2026 North London Ulysses and Russell Raphael. All rights reserved.
