In this episode of The Choral Director's Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker reflects on "Choral Accessibility for the Visually Impaired," sharing a personal story from his years directing a large suburban church choir. Through the experience of welcoming blind singers into the ensemble, Dr. Baker explores practical strategies and resources that allow visually impaired musicians to participate fully in the choral experience. With thoughtful preparation, creative rehearsal practices, and the use of services such as the Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind, choirs can become more inclusive communities where every singer's gifts are valued and supported. Contact information for the National Library Services for the Blind is 888-657-7323 or nlsm@loc.gov. This week's listener question comes from Wayne, a community chorus director in Ohio who is struggling with negative comments from his predecessor. Dr. Baker offers steady counsel on professionalism, patience, and leadership, reminding directors that graciousness and consistent artistic excellence are the most effective responses to criticism. Today's inspiration blends two powerful spirituals: Andre Thomas's arrangement of "Keep Your Lamps" and the African praise song "Oh Freedom," heard together in a spirited performance by the William Baker Festival Singers from their 2015 Amber Waves recording "Wondrous Love."

Imagine breaking a world record at the Commonwealth Games. It should be the single greatest moment of your life. But instead of wearing your gold medal, celebrating with your teammates, you are curled up in a hotel bed, alone and unable to move. That was the reality for Katja Dedekind, an Australian Paralympic Swimmer. Katja is visually impaired, but for her, that disability pales in comparison to the chronic condition she has been battling behind the scenes for years: Endometriosis. In this awakening episode of the Well Summer Series, Katja (and her emotional support dog, Duke), joins Claire Murphy to share her story of sheer resilience. From getting her period at age nine, to bleeding through her race suit during a gold-medal swim, Katja reveals the physical toll of elite sport when your body is fighting against you.They discuss the long wait times many Australian women face for a diagnosis, and Katja opens up about the life-altering decision she made to undergo a hysterectomy at 2.

Message To effectively communicate an event it's important to convey the answers to Who? , What? , When? , Where? , and Why? The Five Ws is a checklist used in journalism to ensure that the lead contains all the essential points of a story. As far back as 1913, reporters were taught that the lead should answer these questions about the situation being reported. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Ws What?, When?, Where? The first sentence is always This is Hacker Public Radio episode (show id) for “(day of week)” the “(day number)” of “(month and year). Saying the name of the show at the beginning of an episode is called establishing brand recognition . It is standard for podcasts, TV and Radio shows as well as on broadcast networks, not to mention the pre-rolls in a movie. We started to do it because some of our Visually Impaired users appreciated knowing what show is playing. Now the same reason can be applied to everyone as the use of visual controlled User interfaces have diminished. Most people control the playlist with headset or voice controls. Saying the show id, and date is common where there are a lot of episodes eg: news or weather shows. It is often skipped where the content is sufficient to identify the episode, eg “the last episode of the foo bar baz podcast, or the last Saturday Night Live” We include the show id and date to allow the listener to refer to the episode easily. As we have literally thousands of shows, we need to help people identify which show they are now listening to, so that it can be easily shared, or commented on. What? Why? We always include Today's show is entitled. (title) . If the episode is part of a series then we also include It is part of the series (series name) . We always include the show (synopsis) . This tells the listener what the show is about. It allows them to skip the episode if they wish. They may wish to do this for many reasons, for example: because they are not interested in the topic, they wish to listen to it while in front of a computer to reference the accompanying show notes, they are listening in public and the topic might not be appropriate.

It's also nice to call out hosts who have been contributing a lot by highlighting each 10th show they send in. Where? We always include and is about (minutes)minutes long to give people an idea of how long the show is. Normal broadcasts have to fit neatly into a standard TV/Radio Broadcast schedule. Many podcasters now follow the same tradition of having episodes of a predictable length. Eg: 30 minutes or an hour. On HPR, there is no restriction on how long the show can be so it's desirable to give the listener a way to know how long the episode is so they can plan accordingly. Warning We always include either It carries a clean flag or It carries an explicit flag . This is also common for broadcasts where they are dealing with a topic that may be disturbing to some people.

Aarifah Karim is a visually impaired figure skater. She had a stop-start entry into the sport that she now loves, not because of her visual impairment, but due it being a tricky sport to master and other people's attitudes. Aarifah describes to Peter White what figure skating is, how she became involved and whether or not her visual impairment has ever become an obstacle in pursuing the sport.The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new digital system designed to keep track of when non-EU citizens enter and leave the Schengen Area. It covers 29 European countries, mostly in the EU, and it requires fingerprints and a photograph to be registered. Chris Kay contacted In Touch about the new EES system because he was concerned how he and other members of the Visually Impaired Veterans Ski Club would fare when managing the new system when they take their next annual ski trip to Italy.
