We are devastated over the death of Georgia Malone, Toby's sister, at 45. Georgia appeared on Ep12 of WAKE (The Mookse and the Gripes) and hosted her own podcast, Here Goes Nothing. Check out Georgia's podcast and see what an extraordinary person she was.

If you've ever attempted Finnegans Wake and given up, why not try breaking back in with a Reckless musical version?

Book 4 is upon us, and it is with mixed feelings, both excited and sad, that we launch into the final segments of Finnegans Wake with WAKE veteran, internationally-acclaimed author "old rubberskin" @lucybrazier.bsky.social: it's more fun than a sailor on a horse!

It feels like a real privilege to be able to say those words, meaning aside: this random approach feels very appropriate!

All that you wanted to know about stubborn and defiant Ukrainians, reading the Wake in the midst of war, but were afraid to ask, is now the WAKE podcast. Those guys are certainly not afraid of asking questions, and Igor reveals how Joyce pushes us to create (and, oh, what a pushy author he is!)(1/2)

Peter O’Brien is an artist, a visionary, and a life-long Joycean, with the energy to not only dream up one major Finnegans Wake-centric artistic offshoot, but is busy scheming about how to top it.

Together we found lots of macaroni, which we stuck proudly in our hats. And boots. Yeah, we keep minding our heads goin in and our mindmaps goin out.
