Every 16th June marks Bloomsday, the day when people in Ireland and around the world remember the life and work of James Joyce. Considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time, Joyce was born in Dublin and although he had a complicated relationship with Ireland, he wrote almost exclusively about the city of Dublin and its people.

In today's podcast, we look at the life of James Joyce and his most well-known novel, Ulysses. Find out why 16th June is Bloomsday, as well as why it's called Bloomsday, and much more!
