Three friends, and an occasional guest, talk about the fun bits of James Joyce's Ulysses over a beer, episode by episode. In each episode, we—Eric, Wendy, and Shinjini—will explore the parts of Ulysses we love, the parts we hate, and the parts we are downright confused by. Love it. Hate it. Don’t Get it.
