About this listen

 In the grand tradition of Finnegans Wake, WAKE has looped back around on itself to become a self-generating machine, as we welcome back musical innovator and the most reckless of stramashers, Tommy Mackay, to talk about WAKE: the Album! Yes, this very podcast is honoured to be the inspiration for at least half the tracks on Tommy's new (stra)mash-up album of music, smashing WAKE readings into the music of Taylor Swift, Wham!, Devo, and more, with more groan-worthy dad-joke pun titles than you could possibly handle. There's a sailor on a horse! There's an invitation to suck a sugarstick! There's Gráinne O'Malley's girl power! Join us for a track-by-track odyssey through WAKE: the Album, in the hope that no takedown notices emerge to ruin anyone's fun.This week's chatters: Tommy Mackay, Toby Malone, TJ YoungReferencesWAKE: the Album on Bandcamp WAKE: the Album on the Daily Reckless Album details:A collection of stramash-ups by Tommy Mackay drawn from readings of James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'Main sources:WAKE podcast - www.youtube.com/@WAKEpod One Little Goat Theatre Company - www.onelittlegoat.org/finneganswake Released April 4, 2025Clips used by permission from the WAKE podcast by Toby Malone and TJ Young and also the audio-visual book by One Little Goat Theatre Company read by Richard Harte, directed by Adam Seelig.Individual credits in song info.all rights reservedFinnegan's Wake 03:38. trad.
