70. Aedín Moloney: Molly Bloom, James Joyce & Paddy Moloney

Episode 70 is a continuation of the celebration of Bloomsweek with an upcycled conversation recorded in 2023 for The Galway Podcast between Fender Jackson and Aedín Moloney about her one woman production of 'Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom'. 

Aedín discusses her take on the (in)famous soliloquy and why she believes it is actually very misunderstood and arguably quite asexual.

Aedín gives an insight to her collaboration of renowned author and fellow Joyce enthusiast, Colum McCann as well as the deeply personal involvement of her father, the late Paddy Moloney (Musician, Composer, Founder and leader of The Chieftains).

Aedín also reminisces about her childhood days in Galway and why bringing 'Yes! Reflections of Molly Bloom' to the west is a form of homecoming as well as part of her father's dying wish.
