from WAKE: Cold Reading Finnegans Wake Hosted by Moon Street Media

WAKE gets musical! We welcome our first guest, musical genius Meg Logue, who has arranged and performed potentially the most melodious cover ever of The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly. We discuss gravelly voiced Irishmen, German opera, singing at wakes, and agree that we'd all like a sip of whatever Poolbeg's on.
