This week on From the Vault we present a salute to Bloomsday – the worldwide celebration of James Joyce’s classic work Ulysses. We will feature readings from Pacifica Radio’s long-running Radio Bloomsday production that has been joining the celebration since 1981. Our thanks to original Executive Producers Janet Coleman and Larry Josephson, and this year’s team led by Janet Coleman and Caraid O’Brien, for their support in making this episode of From the Vault possible.
