Ireland appears through Joyce, Bloomsday, and an Irish whiskey castle
On The Ezra Klein Show, Debbie Millman described traveling to Ireland for Bloomsday and taking a walking tour connected to James Joyce’s Ulysses.[1]
On The Shawn Ryan Show, James Lechner discussed a whiskey company linked to Kennedy Castle west of Dublin and said its whiskey is distilled by Ireland’s oldest distiller.[2]
Lechner also said the castle is a hotel and venue with about 150 monks buried in its courtyard, while Shawn Ryan reacted with surprise that someone owned a castle.[2]
The Ireland references are unrelated: one concerns literary travel and Joyce, while the other concerns a whiskey business and an Irish castle.[1][2]
