Episode description
Kelly and Dermot sit down with P.J. Murphy and Jack Walsh, two volunteers who are keeping the legacy of Sweny's Pharmacy alive. Sweny's, of course, is the location where Leopold Bloom bought his lemon soap. We talk the history of Sweny's, their Joyce connection and the challenges of preserving Joycean landmarks in 21st century Dublin. P.J. even shares a song at the end.
