A vast archive, the collection includes podcasts, lectures, readings, discussion, commissioned films, digital exhibitions and much more. Highlights include the MoLI-produced Writer Presents series, in-depth interviews with contemporary writers such as Anne Enright and Frank McGuinness, or the museum’s long-running Past/Present/Pride series.To celebrate an exciting future for RadioMoLI, the museum hosted a rich evening of discussion, reading and song. Presented at the museum with both a live audience and streamed online, the event features musicians Julia Spanu (song) and Elsa Kelly (harp); writer Henrietta McKervey; and a panel discussion about the art of digital storytelling including Sinéad Clandillon (Head of Content, Ebow Digital), Jennifer Forde (producer of West Cork, Havana Helmet Club), Zoë Comyns (producer of The Prompt, Marconi and Me), David Douglas (MD, Ebow Digital) and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly (MoLI).Words on the Waves was presented in partnership with Ebow Digital.
