“Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People,” a new film airing April 12 on PBS as part of its American Masters series, provides unique insight into Pulitzer’s innovative approach to journalism excellence that still resonates more than a century later with the annual Pulitzer Prizes. In this episode, we talk with the film’s Emmy and Peabody Award-winning writer and producer Robert Seidman about how Pulitzer anticipated the contemporary discussion over “fake news.” In addition, we talk about how his emphasis on short, punchy stories and color graphics combined with an obsessive demand for accuracy propelled his New York World to the top of the American newspaper scene at the start of the 20th Century.

We came, we saw, we conquered ... Ulysses, James Joyce's modern masterpiece, and what's been called the most difficult book in the English language. Did we understand what we read? You be the judge. (If we had to put a number on it, we'd say we got about 15% of it all. But that's what rereading is for, right?)In Episode 006: Getting Used to Ulysses, listen in to our thoughts about modernism; the Blooms; dear, dirty Dublin; and just what to make of this bear of a book. And then tell us what you think in the comments below!To reread with us, grab a copy of Ulysses at your local bookstore or neighborhood library, or download it from your favorite digital book space.Beyond Re:ReadWe are all about reading Ulysses with a lot of support. If you live in or around Philadelphia, check out the schedule of courses at The Rosenbach, which regularly keeps Ulysses on its roster. If you're reading solo, grab a handy guidebook. We recommend Ulysses Annotated by Don Giford and Robert Seidman, as well as The New Bloomsday Book by Harry Blamires. And for free online sources, don't miss Spark Notes! The history of the publication of Ulysses is about as fascinating as the text itself, and no one covers it better than Kevin Birmingham in The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce's Ulysses. Fun FactsEvery June 16 cities all over the world celebrate Bloomsday to commemorate Leopold Bloom's epic one-day trek through Dublin chronicled in Ulysses. Joyce chose the date, June 16, for Ulysses because it marked the date of his first day with his wife, Nora. Ulysses was first serialized in the literary magazine The Little Review, whose publishers faced an obscenity charge for its content.
