Pond Man’s Day, Pond Man’s Night

"What is it this material life we find ourselves captured by?" 

This week Sally is developing her character, Pond Man as she considers the opening line of James Joyce's experimental epic, Ulysses, and the tradition of ritual - secular and religious - in everyday life. In the tradition of Joyce, we observe Pond Man across the length and breadth of his day as he prepares to sleep. 

This episode was edited and produced by D. Gwalia.

The guitar music is by D. Gwalia. 

The opening and exiting voice is Emma Fielding.
