Ulysses In 80: The Ulysses Experience

Ulysses in 80: The Podcast. Can you read Ulysses in 80 days? This podcast isn't the reading itself; the reading is happening offline, together!

In this episode, hosts Cliona O'Farrelly and Mark Sanford Gross dive deep into The Reading experience as everyday people tackle this unique global book club and literary marathon. It's your essential support system and a shared journey! You'll hear real talk from this year's participants—newbies and returning readers alike—as we navigate Joyce together. All levels welcome.

Welcome to Ulysses80

Okay, so you're staring down the Ulysses edition problem? We get it! Which book to even pick? And don't get us started on the "expert" opinions that all hilariously contradict each other.

In this first Reading Ulysses in 80 Days, 2025 podcast episode, we're diving into this edition's confusion. We might not have the answer, but we'll have fun discussing it, just like we will with the group reading starting June 1st. 

Think of this as your friendly prep talk. No perfect edition stress here – just fun conversation as we get ready for the Ulysses adventure together. Tune in and join the chat!

We're excited to have you,

Cliona, Zoe, Mark
