Rachael Kasper

Drawing from a diverse set of interests, Rachael brings her nursing skills and knowledge of medical history to the table with this project. Her study and experience as a historical re-enactor and portraying women’s roles in living history events give her a first-hand perspective on society’s evolution with time. Over the years, she has written in several genres about nursing from the perspectives of the patient, family, and caregiver. Rachael lives with brain damage and the debilitating effects of fibromyalgia, and she works hard to inspire herself to prove that every day can have moments of success in spite of insurmountable odds.

Robert Wills and Rachael Kasper have collaborated on various creative and entertainment endeavours over the past few years. They have written short stories that were an exercise in collaborative teamwork and shared among a group of like-minded wordsmiths. In addition to their partnership in writing, they form two of a trio that records a weekly syndicated variety radio show that is now, heard ‘round the world. The show is unique in that it is ad lib and unedited. They were honoured in a special session of the Vermont State House of Representatives. By a concurrent house resolution (HR 10), Timeless Oldies Variety Show, WNUB, and its hosts Dex Rowe, Robert Wills, and Rachael Kasper were given special recognition. Their innovative utilisation of internet technologies, personal expertise and enjoyment of music spanning a century, serves to entertain people ‘round the world. Currently, Timeless Oldies Variety Show is heard in 67 countries and carried on eight radio stations that use traditional broadcasting and internet streaming. The show is offered free of charge to the hosting stations and remains commercial-free and non-profit, in keeping with WNUB’s status as Norwich University’s radio station. Robert and Rachael have also begun a YouTube channel called Once Upon A Synopsis where they talk about a variety of topics that come to mind. The projects that appeal most to Robert and Rachael as a collaborative team are spontaneous, inspiring, and creative ventures that touch the heart.
