Podcast appearances and mentions of James Joyce

Greek mythology retellings keep multiplying, and nobody can quite explain why. Christopher Nolan just dropped a $250 million adaptation of The Odyssey, a poem roughly 2,700 years old, and Meaghan and Shirin wanted to figure out what keeps pulling all of us (and Hollywood) back to these stories. This one stays high-level, and neither of us was a classics major, so we'll own that upfront. We walk through what The Odyssey actually is, why Odysseus is a much grayer hero than people remember, and why feminist retellings like Madeline Miller's Circe keep landing so hard. Then we get into Nolan's stacked cast: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as the suitor Antinous, and Lupita Nyong'o doing double duty as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (2026): The Cast, Explained • Nolan's $250 million IMAX adaptation of The Odyssey hit theaters on July 17, 2026, his first film since Oppenheimer. • Confirmed casting: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as the suitor Antinous. • Lupita Nyong'o pulls double duty as Helen of Troy and her sister Clytemnestra. Charlize Theron plays Calypso (some listings say Circe, so we're flagging it).   The Odyssey, For People Who Skipped Classics • The short version: Odysseus spends ten years getting home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, mostly because he pissed off Poseidon. • Penelope holds down the kingdom and fends off suitors while raising their son, Telemachus, not knowing if her husband is alive. • Gods, monsters, a cyclops, the enchantress Circe, the sirens. Odysseus survives on cunning over brute strength, then loses his whole crew anyway.   Why Greek Mythology Retellings Keep Winning • Older texts sort people into good and bad. Modern retellings hand the mic to the ones shoved to the margins. • Feminist retellings are the clearest example, like Madeline Miller's Circe, centering a character the original treats as a footnote. • Odysseus himself was never a clean hero, and that gray area is a big reason the story keeps holding up.   Odyssey Adaptations Hiding in Plain Sight • You've seen more of them than you think: O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Cold Mountain (Charles Frazier, 1997), and [LINK: Ulysses] by James Joyce. • It reaches into sci-fi too, from 2001: A Space Odyssey to the creatures and detours borrowed by Percy Jackson (Rick Riordan).   On Our Nightstand: New Releases and ARCs • Shirin is deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, now getting a Peacock series from Seth MacFarlane (Princess Donut on screen, finally). • Meaghan is reading an ARC of The Iron Hex, the debut romantasy from Canadian author Victoria S. Walsh, out August 4, 2026.

This week, the American Writers Museum and the Consulate General of Ireland, Chicago present a conversation with writer, entertainer, drag queen, LGBTQ+ rights activist and 'Queen of Ireland' Rory O'Neill, also known as Panti Bliss. O'Neill visited the AWM to celebrate Bloomsday—the annual global celebration on June 16 of Irish writer James Joyce that commemorates the events of his 1922 masterpiece, Ulysses. O'Neill is joined by AWM President Carey Cranston for an alternative exploration of Joyce's work which sparkles with a few characters who can be considered part of the queer spectrum, through to LGBTQ+ writers and literature of today. O'Neill traverses the path to the equality and inclusion that exists in today's modern Ireland, vastly different from a century ago. O'Neill also discusses his own memoir Woman in the Making and his part in the campaign for marriage equality in Ireland in 2015. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HUB This conversation originally took place June 16, 2026 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. Content alert: this conversation includes adult themes, topics, and language. Listener discretion is advised.

James Joyce believed language could capture reality; Samuel Beckett believed it exposed its absence. Super interesting stuff! And, a Wisdom Of update! ... Check out my new books!

“In silent screams and wildest dreams, I never dreamed of this. This love is good. This love is bad. This love is alive back from the dead.” This week we're setting sail on one of history's greatest epics, Homer's The Odyssey, and asking a very important question... did Taylor Swift write it? (We're mostly joking. Mostly.) In this Show & Tell episode, we each make the case for a Taylor Swift song that illuminates a different facet of the Odyssey, from Penelope's 20-year vigil to Odysseus weeping on a gorgeous island, to the sirens, the wine-dark sea, and a very significant scar. Along the way, the hosts dig into questions of translation and interpretation — particularly the significance of Emily Wilson's landmark female translation of the text — discuss the role of Athena in the story of the epic, and geek out about the archery contest that shows up in both the Odyssey and two Indian epics. Plus: the upcoming Christopher Nolan adaptation, the musical Epic by Jorge Rivera, Madeline Miller's Circe, and why All Too Well (10 Minute Version) might just be Taylor's own Odyssey.   Subscribe for free to get episode updates or upgrade to paid to get our After School premium content: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe.

James Joyce, I morti • parte 2 • voce: Francesco Ventimiglia

In this week's podcast Phelim gives us a sample of his important piece that was just published in the Wall Street Journal (linked below) about Ireland's descent into antisemitism and how author James Joyce predicted this 100 years ago. We also look at the impact Phelim's story has made and the vile antisemitic abuse he has received.In a related matter you may have seen there were riots in Ireland recently. The truth is Ireland may not like Jews but the elites really like to import head-chopping immigrants. We bring you the list of recent attempted beheadings in Ireland. Yes - that is a real sentence. We also bring the details on how Ireland is learning that Diversity is Not Our Strength. We didn't want to become a podcast about anti-semitism but somehow we're among the few podcasts that expose it. This week we reveal more from the poison Ivy League schools and a Cornell brat who turned down an internship because he's “not interested in working for Jews.” Our elite universities are fostering the ignorant as well as the bigoted as one crazy headline reveals an illiteracy problem at Berkeley! And so-called documentary film maker Josh Fox is lying again - of course he is. You knew him from lying about fracking (he's the liar behind the fake documentary GasLand). Guess what his latest cause is now. This week we ask: why is HBO allowing such obvious lies to go out on air? (Because they hate America?) Speaking of fiction disguised as fact, NPR's Fake News show All Things Considered does it again. This time they allowed a contributor to state, unchallenged, that America has not changed or improved since the racial segregation of the 60s. It seems on NPR you can lie about anything as long as you blame Trump. This week we bring you more crazy headlines courtesy of Crazy Canada. Watch this week to see where trillionaire envy meets “respectable” news. Elon Musk Derangement Syndrome is a real thing.And more, much more than this. Last weekend we saw our friend - the amazing Robert Davi - sing the great American Song Book in Los Angeles. Robert is multi-talented. You might know him as an actor from movies such as Die Hard and The Goonies. Of course he was the wonderful Director on the My Son Hunter movie - exposing the corruption of the Biden crime family. You can see the full My Son Hunter movie through the link below. And on the show we have a sample of his wonderful show.

Let us, as Americans, be humble, kind, considerate, and respectful of one another, and of others. Regardless of conditions or circumstances, we can choose “uncompromising integrity” (tummah). Today is the first day of Muharram,[1] the first month in the Islamic calendar, “a time of mourning and peace,”[1:1] “in which fighting has been forbidden since before the advent of Islam”.[2] However, let us not be naive in believing that Machiavellians in our midst are equally as reverent and wouldn’t sieze the ‘opportunity of crisis’ to use the Kitson counter-gang within the Gladio archipelago to provoke a Strategy of Tension episode. May we choose to maintain our own “uncompromising integrity”, regardless of provocations, conditions, circumstances, or what others choose that may be contrary. What, but good, can come of that…?

Parið Tom og Anna hefur flust til Berlínar á öðrum áratug 21. aldarinnar til að lifa hinni fullkomnu tilveru. Þau starfa í skapandi greinum, búa innan um fallega hluti í fallegri íbúð, og deila myndum af lífi sínu á samfélagsmiðlum. Þau eru aðalpersónur skáldsögunnar Le perfezioni eftir ítalska rithöfundurinn Vincenzo Latronico sem kom út árið 2022. Íslensk þýðing á bókinni kemur út hjá bókaforlaginu Benedikt í haust, en enska útgáfan verður til umræðu í bókaklúbbi Lestarinnar þessa vikuna. Gestur klúbbsins er Björn Halldórsson rithöfundur.

To commemorate the 65th anniversary of James Joyce's death in Zürich on Jan 13th 1941, Ursula Zeller, Ruth Freiner and Fritz Senn from The James Joyce Foundation shared their stories with Kevin Reynolds

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Dr Zachary Leader chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about Ellmann's Joyce: The Biography of a Masterpiece and Its Maker. Here's what you'll discover in this episode:  Richard Ellmann's biography of the novelist James Joyce is considered the greatest literary biography of the 20th century. Why Zachary Leader was inspired to craft Ellmann's Joyce. Why Ellmann's Joyce is structured in two sections: a chronological life of Richard Ellmann followed by a thematic ‘making of James Joyce's biography' section. Why Zachary opened the narrative with a chapter defending literary biography. Why Zachary portrayed Ellmann's James Joyce as both scholarship and art, foregrounding Ellmann's narrative craft, wit and realist virtues. Why Ellmann's Joyce is a practical masterclass in biography.

James Joyce, I morti • parte 1 • voce: Francesco Ventimiglia

Bloomsday Special: The secret political life of James Joyce — and Frank Callanan's final masterpieceWas James Joyce really apolitical?For decades, many scholars claimed Ireland's greatest writer stood apart from politics.Frank Callanan disagreed.Before his untimely death, the renowned barrister, historian and Parnell scholar spent 25 years researching what became his final work: James Joyce: A Political Life.In this special Bloomsday episode of The Fifth Court, Bridget Hourican joins Peter Leonard and Mark Tottenham to discuss Frank's extraordinary final book, his lifelong fascination with Joyce, Parnell, Irish nationalism, exile, censorship and the political forces that shaped modern Ireland.The conversation also becomes a moving tribute to Frank himself — one of the most beloved and intellectually gifted members of the Law Library.Among the topics discussed:Why Frank spent 25 years researching JoyceThe political meaning hidden inside Ulysses and DublinersJoyce's obsession with ParnellWhy Dublin publishers burned copies of DublinersJoyce, censorship and Irish respectabilityWhy Joyce left Ireland and never truly returnedFrank Callanan's remarkable legal and academic careerThe challenge of completing a 900-page masterpiece after his deathFor anyone interested in law, literature, Irish history or Bloomsday, this is a fascinating conversation.Book recommendation:James Joyce: A Political Life by Frank CallananDecisis casebook section sponsored by Charlton Solicitors & Collaborative Practitioners.1. The runaway truck caseDuggan v Logan (Mr Justice Oisín Quinn)A driver was seriously injured when a truck rolled out of a filling station and into traffic with nobody behind the wheel after the driver failed to apply the handbrake.Why it matters:The High Court awarded damages of approximately €128,000 and provides a reminder that leaving a vehicle unsecured can create liability even when the driver is physically absent from the vehicle.2. Turkish worker wins immigration rights challengeOzek v Minister for Justice (Mr Justice Simons)A Turkish migrant worker successfully challenged the Minister's refusal to properly backdate an immigration permission.Why it matters:The Court found that EU-derived worker protections had not been correctly applied, reinforcing the importance of protecting migrant workers' rights under European law.3. Mother and Baby Institutions Redress SchemeKiernan (otherwise John Duncan Morris) v Minister for Children (Mr Justice Owens)A claimant challenged a decision that certain institutions were not covered by the Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme.Why it matters:The Court held that the legislation should be interpreted more broadly and that the applicant was entitled to seek redress under the scheme. The decision may affect how eligibility is assessed in future claims. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

His feature films include Autobiographical Filmmaker Seeks Camera-Friendly Companion (2025), The Sheik and I (2012), I Am a Sex Addict (2005), In the Bathtub of the World (2001), I Don't Hate Las Vegas Anymore (1994), and A Little Stiff (1991). He is also the creator of the web series The Show About the Show and the writer/host of the podcast 365 Stories I Want To Tell You Before We Both Die.With Ulysses, New York, Zahedi attempts to do to Joyce's Ulysses what Joyce did to Homer's The Odyssey: transpose a canonical work into a new time, place and form. The events of 16 June 1904 in Dublin are reimagined as taking place on 16 June 2022 in New York City, on the centenary of the novel's publication. Following eight actors performing in a Bloomsday stage production of Ulysses, the film moves between Joyce's chapters onstage and the corresponding hours of the actors' real day. This special presentation features a work-in-progress version of the introductory episode, followed by a discussion with Zahedi on the challenges of adapting Joyce.Bloomsday Film FestivalIreland's most literary film festival was established as a celebration of cinema, literature, and artistic innovation, inspired by the far-reaching influence of Ireland's father of modernism, James Joyce. The festival is presented in partnership with the Bloomsday Festival and the James Joyce Centre, and runs from 11–16 June, with screenings hosted at the historic James Joyce Centre and the Irish Film Institute (IFI). Continuing its annual traditions, the festival marks the birthday of W.B. Yeats on 13 June with a curated programme of poetry and literature-inspired short films. On 14 June, in keeping with Joyce's radical and experimental spirit, the programme showcases a selection of innovative experimental films. The following day, 15 June, celebrates the anniversary of the publication of Dubliners with screenings of Joycean short films and adaptations of Dublin-based stories.Alongside its cinematic programme, the Bloomsday Film Festival presents a diverse range of events, including director Q&As, workshops, musical performances, and poetry readings. At its core, the festival is committed to fostering artistic innovation - championing filmmakers who forge their own paths and create work that pushes the boundaries of the medium, in the same pioneering spirit that defined Joyce's literary legacy.Check out the programme & get tickets at www.bloomsdayfestival.ie.Over the years, the podcast has featured acclaimed guests such as Phyllida Lloyd, Lenny Abrahamson, M. Night Shyamalan, John Boorman, Saoirse Ronan, Colin Farrell, Aisha Tyler, Colm Meaney, Paul Reiser, Niamh Algar, David Freyne, Ciarán Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer, John Crowley, Niamh Algar, Gene Stupnitsky, and Terence Davies, alongside many of the most influential voices working in film and television today.So make sure to subscribe and listen back!

This week on The Literary Life we begin revisiting a series from our "Summer of the Short Story" that originally aired way back in Season 1 of the podcast! Today we return to Episode 11, in which Angelina and Cindy enjoyed a discussion of the short story "Araby" by James Joyce. Delving into "Araby," Angelina talks about the history and development of the short story form. Cindy gives a little of her own background with reading James Joyce and why she loves his short stories. Angelina and Cindy also discuss the essential "Irishness" of this story and all the tales in The Dubliners. Angelina walks us through the story, highlighting the kinds of questions and things we should look for when reading closely. Themes discussed in this story include: blindness and sight, light and darkness, romanticism, religious devotion, the search for truth, money, courtly love, and the knight's quest. If you want to find replays of the 2019 Back to School online conference referenced in this episode, you can purchase them in Cindy's shop at MorningTimeforMoms.com.

Marilyn Monroe was the ultimate bombshell. This week she would have turned 100 years old, but she’s still the iconic sex symbol of mid 20th century Hollywood. Despite her carefully crafted dumb blonde persona, she was also wildly intelligent. She had a library filled with books by authors like James Joyce and Dostoevsky. So . . how did she use that intelligence and what was her Achilles heel? Feel free to DM me if you have a story you’d like me to cover . . on Facebook it’s Patty Steele and on Instagram Real Patty Steele.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My friends Tinkered Thinking (✍️

Kyle Scheele went from 17 TikTok followers to a million in 25 hours — not because he had a strategy, but because he finally stopped waiting for the right time and posted the video. In Part 2, he and Dwayne walk through the five things every idea needs to make it into the world, why AI is a sycophancy machine that will confidently tell you exactly what you want to hear, and why creativity is a team sport — and always has been. In Part 2 of this episode: The five things every idea needs — a chance, a home, a time and place, a bodyguard, and a crew — and the specific, practical way each one applies inside a business or organization Why Kyle went from 17 followers to a million on TikTok in 25 hours: a one-minute video about photoshopping his dad's tilted head in a family portrait, and the James Joyce principle that explains why the most particular stories become the most universal The chemical company story: a PhD chemist had known for years that her company's product would work perfectly in another industry — and never said anything, because no one asked Why AI is good at the "I" and the "A" of the idea cycle (inspiration and action) but can't do discovery or evolution — because those require taste, distaste, and skin in the game that no algorithm has How fear of running out of money drove Kyle's entire entrepreneurial career — and why that fear, managed well, doesn't make you play small, it makes you play smart. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Creativity Needs Others 00:32 - Podcast Intro and Setup 01:30 - Give Ideas a Chance 04:44 - Ideas Need a Home 07:20 - Systems That Invite Ideas 11:56 - Launch Now Not Perfect 13:20 - TikTok Breakthrough Story 21:06 - Protect Ideas with Bodyguards 27:23 - Ideas Need a Crew 29:25 - Creativity Needs a Crew 30:50 - Viking Funeral Origin Story 33:03 - Fear of Regret as Fuel 35:05 - Calculated Risks Over Gambling 37:08 - Strategic Projects and Social Media 42:22 - The Idea Cycle Framework 45:35 - Where AI Helps and Misses 51:08 - AI as a Tool and Its Tradeoffs 55:02 - Creativity Beyond Business 56:44 - Applying Creativity Tools to Life 01:01:10 - Final Thanks and Wrap Up Resources mentioned: Several books (for adults and childen) referenced written by Kyle, can be found here: https://kylescheele.com/Books TED Talk: How to Find a Wonderful Idea — OK Go, on creativity and discovery Vivian Maier — street photographer whose work was discovered posthumously Tony Robbins — Business Mastery referenced by Dwayne ChatGPT / AI — referenced throughout Quotes: “ I always say creativity is a team sport because life is a team sport. You are not designed to do any of this stuff on your own, and even if you did, what would be the point of it all?” - Kyle Scheele “ On my third video, I went from 17 followers to a million followers, and that changed the course of my business, my trajectory, my life. It opened so many doors for me, and that all happened off a video that I almost didn't post because I almost didn't post any of them because I was waiting for the right time and the right place. “ - Kyle Scheele “ Give everyone notebooks on your team. Just give them a pocket notebook and go, "Hey, here's the things I want you to start looking for. This week, here's a focus.” - Kyle Scheele “ The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." - George Bernard Shaw (quoted by Kyle Scheele) “ If you're not innovating, you're dying, and that is just the truth.” - Dwayne Kerrigan About Kyle Scheele: Kyle is an author, speaker, and creativity expert known for turning bold ideas into unforgettable results — from hosting a Viking funeral for the regrets of 21,000 people to launching the world's first fake marathon. With more than 750 keynotes delivered in all 50 states, Kyle combines humor, sharp insights, and real-world experimentation to help organizations unlock creativity and innovation at scale.

A guide for today's classrooms, this collection from leading Joyce scholars explores innovative pedagogical approaches to the works of this often-challenging writer Teaching James Joyce in the Twenty-First Century (UP of Florida, 2025) presents examples of bold, innovative pedagogical techniques instructors have used to adapt the study of Joyce's work for the contemporary classroom. Leading Joyce scholars share approaches that go beyond the traditional university lecture hall to include experiences teaching high school students, senior citizens, art students, book club members, and people in prisons. The strategies in this inspirational volume range from class discussions to creating art and music to walking city streets. Works examined include the complex Finnegans Wake and the influential modernist milestones Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. While Joyce is often viewed as an essential and foundational author of Irish literature, contributors to this volume argue that the spirit of Joyce's writing is global, and they offer suggestions for teaching these works in an international context. Students are often daunted by the perceived difficulty and inaccessibility of Joyce, but this volume helps both new and experienced teachers of Joyce make the writer's texts understandable, relatable, and even fun. These authors argue that reading Joyce helps develop skills in holding and interrogating opposing ideas, skills that are essential in navigating the modern academic and political landscape. In grappling with Joyce, students will recognize his writing as relevant and urgent. Barry Devine is associate professor of English at Heidelberg University. Ellen Scheible is professor of English at Bridgewater State University. Scheible is the author or editor of many books, including Body Politics in Contemporary Irish Women's Fiction: The Literary Legacy of Mother Ireland. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing and co-hosts the long-running podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network.

These authors argue that reading Joyce helps develop skills in holding and interrogating opposing ideas, skills that are essential in navigating the modern academic and political landscape. In grappling with Joyce, students will recognize his writing as relevant and urgent. Barry Devine is associate professor of English at Heidelberg University. Ellen Scheible is professor of English at Bridgewater State University. Scheible is the author or editor of many books, including Body Politics in Contemporary Irish Women's Fiction: The Literary Legacy of Mother Ireland.

Join Paul McAuley for a Birmingham balti as we discuss his fascination with James Joyce and how it played out (or didn't) in his own writing, why he's thrilled the first short story he sold to a pro market was never published, the reasons he loves Los Angeles, what he learned as a scientist which helped him write better science fiction, why he compared his writing style to Raymond Chandler's, the way his world-building takes place during writing and not before, whether or not his new novel should be considered science fiction, what I feel that hovel has in common with Denis Johnson's Train Dreams, our shared love of the ambiguous ending, what he learned by rereading his short fiction to assemble a career-spanning collection, and much more.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1953, at New York's 92nd Street YMCA, the Walden String Quartet tackled the difficult String Quartet No. 1 by American composer Elliott Carter. Carter's Quartet was as densely-packed with ideas as a page from James Joyce — an author the composer cited as an influence. But, writing for the Herald Tribune, composer Virgil Thomson gave the work a glowing review: “The piece is complex of texture, delicious in sound, richly expressive and in every way grand — the audience loved it,” wrote Thomson.That same year Carter's quartet won First Prize in the International String Quartet competition in Belgium — a contest Carter entered almost as an afterthought. “My Quartet No. 1 was written largely for my own satisfaction and grew out of an effort to understand myself,” he said. To escape from the distractions of New York, Carter retreated to the desert near Tucson to write it. No one had commissioned the quartet, and Carter initially feared its complexity would baffle performers and audiences. His next quartet, equally challenging, won a Pulitzer Prize.Complexity would characterize Carter's music for the next 50 years — although the composer himself insisted that fantasy and invention, rather than difficulty for its own sake, had always been his goal.Music Played in Today's ProgramElliott Carter (1908-2012): String Quartet No. 1; The Composers Quartet; Nonesuch 71249
