Behind the scenes with Laura Miller and Teresa Fugate

In this behind-the-scenes episode of Music & the Spoken Word, host Derrick Porter sits down with Laura Miller, Director of Guest Relations, and Teresa Fugate, Women’s Wardrobe Manager. Together, they share how their teams prepare, support, and care for guests and performers each week—offering a rare, inside look at the people and processes that help bring the broadcast to life.

For nearly a century, Music & the Spoken Word has broadcast messages of hope and inspiration alongside the beautiful music of the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square. The show offers uplifting messages each week, and will occasionally include the stories of those behind the scenes who contribute to the overall beauty of the whole.
