🎙️ Bloomsday on the Coast: Joyce, Poetry and 38 Years of Tradition

In this special Bloomsday episode of Craic on the Coast, hosts Michael Schilling and Shaun Morgan are joined by Jennifer Harris and Miriam O’Neal of America’s Hometown Laureates to celebrate the language, legacy, and literary revolution of not only James Joyce but Irish poets and poetry in general.

Together, they explore the meaning of Bloomsday and how Irish literature continues to inspire modern poetry and community storytelling. Passages from several poets are brought to life, the mission of America’s Hometown Laureates is illuminated, and the cultural threads connecting past and present are woven with care and wit.

The episode concludes with a special shoutout to Bridget’s – An Irish Tradition, celebrating 38 years of championing Irish heritage on the South Shore.

Whether you’re a Joyce scholar or a curious newcomer, this episode offers a poetic journey through Dublin, memory, and meaning.
