I highly recommend the recent JJQ issue on "Women's Issues" in Joyce studies, feat. great work on harassment, consent, disability. Highlights include Plock on female solidarity and Ebury's eye-opening and thought provoking work on misogyny in Molly Bloom's critical reception

13. Joseph LaBine: Flann O'Brien and Radio A special edition of the Radio Myles podcast dedicated to Joe and Toby's special edition of the Parish Review about Flann O'Brien and the radio.

Really enjoyed the new Radio Myles in which Toby Harris & Joe LaBine discuss their special issue on "Flann O'Brien and the Radio"!
(Including generous words on my own contribution on H.L. Morrow and warranted praise of Zan Cammack and Elliott Mills's articles)

See the old year out in style with the final article in the @theparishreview.bsky.social special issue "Flann O'Brien & the Radio"

"H.L. Morrow & Brian O’Nolan on Radio Éireann" by Paul Fagan dips into the archive to uncover O'Nolan's first major adaptor

Elliott Mills’s great commentary on Flann O’Brien and the Irish Civil Service in the new episode of Radio Myles makes a perfect companion piece to Katherine Ebury’s episode on O’Brien and the death penalty.

Article 4
"H.L. Morrow & Brian O’Nolan on Radio Éireann"
by Paul Fagan (@pauleamonnfagan.bsky.social)

Explores the archival traces of Morrow's 3 Radio Éireann adaptations of O’Nolan’s work: Thirst (1958), Something in the Air (1959), Faustus Kelly (1960)
parishreview.openlibhums.org/article/id/2...

The piece explores the archival materials of 3 Radio Éireann broadcasts Morrow adapted from O'Nolan's writing: Thirst (1958), Something in the Air (1959) & Faustus Kelly (1960). It also casts light on Morrow as a critically neglected but key figure in 20th Century Irish radio. I hope you enjoy it!
