Dear Frank, Thank you. Thank you for being the most captivating literary guide I’ve ever heard. Your wit, wisdom and the most incredible tangents you could wish for. I loved every moment of your paragraph by paragraph tour of Ulysses. I made it through Covid thanks to you and the Re:Joyce...Read full review »

I recommend this podcast for Ulysses readers and casual listeners alike. It has so much information packed into the episodes and listening to Frank’s voice is always a delight

The relationship between a writer and a reader is a quintessential form of human intimacy. When the words of a writer are spoken with care and with craft, this feeling is multiplied manyfold. That is what I love most about Re:Joyce, a one-of-a-kind retelling of James Joyce’s Ulysses. From Frank...Read full review »

Essential listening for anybody struggling through the great work. The podcaster infects us with his joyous insight.

This weekly podcast breaks down James Joyce's novel Ulysses piece-by-piece with an energetic and informed host who beats out any annotated text in terms of sheer entertainment value. If you're curious about Ulysses but find it slow-going and abstruse, Delaney is the perfect guide to...Read full review »

Delaney is pure delight - erudite, educated, funny, and to the point. I couldn't read Ulysses without this podcast. It even got me to Dublin. Thank you Frank! (and James)Read full review »

I am sad to hear the terrible news of Frank Delaney's death. I used to listen to his web podcasts. Great talker, immense range of knowledge. He had a passion for sharing and I'm very thankful for having found his blog. Rest In peace.

Frank Delaney was a lovely man and this was the most informative, wittiest, most informed, and altogether delightful literary podcast. In fact, I cannot think of a better literary broadcast of any kind. May your god go with you, Mr Delaney, you were one of a kind and we will miss you more than...Read full review »

It was announced this morning that Frank Delaney died at the age of 74. His website has links to the Irish Times article and it was also covered by the New York Times. I have loved this podcast and will miss Delaney's witty and erudite commentary. I hope someone will take up his labor of...Read full review »

Witty. Impassioned. Researched.

This is a treasure for any reader and writer, a generous gift from Frank, a brilliant man.

I meant it. His love pours through every episode. There's so much already and so much left to go. If you're reading Ulysses, this guy's invaluable.Read full review »

This is one of the joys of my week. Joyce was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, and the deeper you look the more beauty and brilliance you find. It’s endless. This podcast makes Joyce accessible and reveals much of his artistry. Highly recommended.
DanUrbach via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/16
I can't say I always enjoyed reading Ulysses but these podcasts are the audible equivalent of a page-turner. Addictive, informative and you have to admire the 25 year (ish) long premise.
brettling_ via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/03/15
Getting Joyce delivered in little mouthfuls like a rare liquer chocolate is tantalising and seductive. I'm loving every episode and can't express my gratitude enough. This is a writer's gift yet it's also delivered with humour and animation. I shall now buy Delaney's own...Read full review »

I've read the book several ties. I feel I understand the larger narrative. But this line-by-line examination is wonderful exploration of the language and detail and nuace of the thing. I loook forward to bronze by gold.Read full review »

Listen to the master, Frank Delaney, in Episode 240A. There really is no wrong way to do it but, as in Zen, adopting a particular way may help. THANK YOU, MR. DELANEY, you are loved.
Leishalynn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/15
How can Frank Delaney give us this for free? The is the greatest podcast gift. I for one am too grateful to express. I have loved every installment and will keep going, Better than any book of criticism. Thank you thank you!
Dave McA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/15
Delaney is incredibly thorough. This podcast has been running for years and is far from wrapping up. Catching up on all the chapters is nearly as daunting as reading Ulysses itself. I do not think it is necessary to listen to every one, skip around if you prefer. I am reading Ulysses for the...Read full review »

Frank Delaney is making the impossible - ie getting myself to read that Greek travel book. A true gem in every way.

If only there were podcasts like this for all my books. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication in putting this together.

NPR's "Most Eloquent Man in the World," author, broadcaster and Joycean scholar, Frank Delaney, delivers historical content, word origins and meaning to every word of James Joyce's "Ulysses." Delaney's professional skill and personal love bleed through every episode....Read full review »
Uncle_Yo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/14
I haven't even listened to an episode of this yet, but based on Delaney's discussion with Christopher Ryan, I'm sure you'd actually need to have a 6th or 7th star to give Re: Joyce a proper rating. Why are there only 54 reviews on here? And why are only 52 of them five star...Read full review »

Makes the single most impenetrable book ever written accessible and well kind of a delight.

If you’ve ever wanted to read Ulysses but have felt too intimidated by its reputation, then this is the podcast for you. It has opened up the magical world of Joyce and Ulysses for me. Thanks Frank.
DJ salty snacks via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/31/13
I look forward to each 10 minute episode every week. Mr. Delaney has such love for Joyce and he's helping people decode this complex novel which I have been attempting to read for 15 years. Wonderful.

Tremendously valuable guide to the universe of Joyce & Ulysses.
muleson via · 09/01/13
I don't normally write reviews and certainly not about podcasts. But Frank Delaney's exceptional endeavour, his exceptional gift to the world, is so utterly intoxicating, so unremittingly worthy and so unendingly satisfying, that even I could not fail to be moved to act.

If you really want to understand Ulysses, I can't recommend this podcast enough! Just download, listen and enjoy with a copy of the book opened in your hands!

An incredible podcast. Engaging, thought provoking and superbly packaged. It will last for years. Literally.

Reading Ullyses has been on bucket list for some time now. So as I approach what I hope to be middle age I ask myself if not NOW when? And once again I cracked open the pages and once again said to myself...I don't get it! Then after a frantic search through my Itunes I happened across my...Read full review »

To say this is the best podcast I've encountered is not nearly enough of an accolade it is simply fantastic I've always wanted to read Ulysses, and this has motivated me. I hope both Delaney and I make it for the duration.Read full review »

This is fabulous ! love Frank Delaneys enthusiasm, knowledge and voice. It really a book to re read and savour. Excellent podcast.

Seldom is someone able to render a work more accessible and more limitless simultaneously. Delaney does just that. Ulysses becomes thoroughly readable without losing any of its encyclopedic mystery.

"Ulysses" is brilliant! James Joyce is brilliant! Frank Delaney is brilliant!

I download alot of podcasts, but this is the only one I never miss! In fact, it's usually the first thing I do on Wednesday morning.

I first tried to read this wonder in 1981 to despair. Again, a few years later. Only now, through Dr. Delaney's insights and scholarship, have these podcasts kindled a program of sincere research necessary for understanding the depth and breadth of thought which animates Ulysseys. This will...Read full review »
