In this special Readers' Pub episode of Ulysses in 80, the guest speakers are the readers themselves.

Participants from around the world gather for an open conversation that ranges from Joyce and language to Judaism, Gorgonzola sandwiches, and the unexpected connections that emerge when readers meet one another with curiosity and candor.

More than a discussion of Ulysses, this episode explores reading slowly, embracing complexity, and discovering that some of the most meaningful conversations begin without knowing where they will lead.

The episode closes with a brief excerpt from the poetry of Stéphane Mallarmé—a quiet reminder that not every word needs to be fully understood to be deeply felt.

Ulysses in 80 is hosted by Cliona O'Farrelly and Mark Sanford Gross.

Reformatted and adapted as a podcast from The Readers' Pub gathering of June 17, 2026.

Produced in Anchor Bay, California.
