To help frazzled readers find their way through the novel’s 260,000 words while making them less forbidding, Mr. Delaney, in the first episode of his podcast, invoked the “Peanuts” character Snoopy. He also wrote a rap tribute to Joyce.

Some conventional scholars were appalled, to which Mr. Delaney parried, “No one hates a popularizer more than an intellectual.”

Thanks for this. Saw this in the Irish Times earlier this week.
His podcasts are wonderful. It was easy to pretend that he
was the closest thing to what Joyce would've sounded and
acted like in these modern times.
