Recordings of the Key West Literary Seminar began in 1988, when Meg O'Brien recorded and produced our annual event for WLRN's Radio Reading Service. Two decades later, we continue Meg's work. Our goal is to create a complete digital archive of Seminar recordings, and to release the best of these recordings here. You can listen right here on our site, download the .mp3 files, and/or subscribe to a series of podcasts. Recordings are released on a casual schedule, as soon as they are ready. Contact Arlo Haskell, our media director, with any questions: arlohaskell [at] gmail [dot] com.
We are grateful to Private Ear Recording Studios for their excellent recording and engineering services.
