What do food stories reveal about who we are? How do journalists navigate culture, identity, and flavor on the airwaves?

Join Lisa Morehouse, award-winning public radio reporter and creator of California Foodways, in conversation with Nan Klingener, Key West’s own trusted voice in cultural storytelling, for a night that explores the intersections of food, community, and public radio.

Lisa’s reporting spans topics from immigration and incarceration to unexpected farm jobs and hidden dining gems. Her work has earned national recognition, including a Murrow Award and multiple James Beard nominations. She currently serves as Senior Editor at KALW’s Crosscurrents, mentoring the next generation of audio journalists.

She’ll be joined on stage by Nan Klingener, a beloved figure in the Keys and a longtime voice of WLRN. Nan has spent decades telling the stories of our islands—covering everything from environmental issues and book festivals to the quiet rhythms of island life. With her deep roots in South Florida and a storyteller’s eye for detail, Nan brings a local lens and an unmistakable warmth to every broadcast.

Don't miss this lively conversation between two seasoned journalists as they dig into the ingredients that make culture reporting so rich and necessary.
