As an alien to the work of Joyce I intend to plumb the areas of the novel that feel most foreign but most compelling to me throughout the following semester of Ulysses-deep-diving and podcast-producing.
Here is my updated trailer for An Alien's Journey Through Ulysses
This is a collection of all work produced for this project.
Here I talk about the final (and in my opinion, best) chapter of Ulyssss
In this episode we'll be talking about the implications of the question-and-answer structure to Ithaca and its implications for Bloom's emotional state.
In this episode we focus on one specific biblical allusion in Eumaeus and how it might work in helping us to learn more about Stephen
In this episode I talk about Circe and how it won me back into enjoying Ulysses
In this episode we discuss chapter 14 of Ulysses and how much I did not like it :)
In this episode I take a slightly feminist stance on Nausicaa and how bias may be to blame for the interpretation of this chapter's sentimentality as parody.
In this episode I talk about how Cyclops has given me my first opportunity to laugh on my own as I've read this book
In episode 11 we'll be discussing Sirens and Bloom's actions (or lack thereof)
This episode moves through Wandering Rocks and the grief it presents (and the memories of grief it evokes).
This episode discusses the brain-like structure of episode 9 and how both I - and Stephen - are struggling to occupy his mind
In this episode we dive deeply into two lines that seemingly stray away from the subservient version of Bloom we've gotten to know so far
In this episode we discuss Aeolus and the passive ways in which we learn more about Molly Bloom
In this episode we talk about how “Hades” perfectly describes both the inner and outer worlds of Leopold Bloom in episode 6 of Ulysses
In this episode we'll be discussing how the Lotus Eaters and Leopold Bloom have much in common, namely their concentration on leisure.
In this episode we talk about the different perspective on male sexuality Mr. Bloom brings to the table in Calypso
Here's the trailer for An Alien's Journey Through Ulysses with me, Olivia Tobin!

This is the “vox pop” assignment that I've added to my overall podcast channel. Enjoy!
