You can find the podcast called "Finn Again! The Wake Continues" explaining Pages 23-29 (annotations on Chapter 1 above) of Finnegans Wake on Youtube:
The provided texts comprise an intensive examination of several excerpts from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, offering line-by-line annotation and critical commentary across multiple scholarly sources. These annotations dissect the text's dense layers of puns, allusions, multilingual references, and mythological parallels, focusing heavily on Irish history, geography (especially Dublin and Howth), and figures like Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker (HCE) and his wife, ALP. Key themes explored include the cycle of death and resurrection (linked to Finnegan, Osiris and the Phoenix), the Viconian cycle of history, and the recurring motifs of religious sin, voyeurism, and family drama involving the twin sons and daughter. Collectively, the sources function as an apparatus for understanding the work’s meaning, illustrating how the text employs complex wordplay and cultural touchstones to construct its narrative.
