On TPR Podcast Presents, we bring you the very best from the Troy Public Radio podcast Catalogue.

Today’s selection comes from The Rounds, which is a podcast about nursing education where hosts Kait Nesbitt and Brooke Moseley gather stories from nurses on the front lines of our healthcare system.

But this episode is much bigger than just nursing education. Kait and Brooke are talking to Olivia Thurman, a nurse who previously worked in hematology and oncology, or HEMOC, at Children’s of Alabama.

Olivia’s daughter was born with a rare genetic condition that required a bone marrow transplant and caused her to spend months in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Today’s episode is much bigger than just nursing education. We’re talking to Olivia Thurman, a nurse who previously worked in hematology and oncology, or HEMOC, at Children’s of Alabama.

Olivia’s daughter was born with a genetic condition that caused her to spend nine months in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU.

We’ll talk to Olivia about how she’s doing and how her experience as a nurse has helped her care for her daughter.

Blake Morgan’s musical arrangements embody the essence of what it means to “imagine again or anew.” Together with host, Diane Orlofsky, learn how Morgan works in this unique creative space when he conceives his arrangements. This episode features Morgan’s arrangement of the iconic “Hushabye Mountain” (performed by the King’s Singers) and his setting of the beautiful folk song, “The Water is Wide” (featuring Blake’s demo of the arrangement he wrote for Take Six). We even “tease” a brand-new setting of “Time after Time” (performed by Lyyra and Voces8).

This is the first of two episodes with composer/arranger/singer, Blake Morgan, hosted by Diane Orlofsky. Morgan’s music crosses genres and has been performed by Take Six, the King’s Singers, Manhattan Transfer, Conspirare, and many others. A gifted singer, Blake is now a member of Voces8, whose performances we often feature on this podcast.

In this episode, Morgan talks about the process of taking music which is familiar and arranging it so that it sounds brand new. We explore how Morgan reimagined the familiar hymn tune, “Shall we Gather at the River” (performed by Voces8 and the Ringmasters) and the evocative Scottish folk ballad, “Caledonia” (sung here by Voces8 and the Stay-at-Home Choir.)

In this episode, co-hosts Diane Orlofsky and Scott Sexton speak with two creatives connected to the recording project Awaiting Golden Light (performed by Connecticut-based Voices of Concinnity). First, composer Cheryl B. Engelhardt (whose composition, “The Breadth of Blossoms” was featured on the album) relates the fascinating story behind this captivating and timely music. We also hear how Artistic Director Sarah Kaufold advocates for inclusion on the podium, within the choral ensemble, and the choir repertoire.
