Send us a textIn this episode we discuss risk, success and failure in the context of international development and philanthropy, with Sarah Jeffrey (Vitol Foundation), Victoria Tayler (Risk Pool Fund) and Lonnie Hackett (Healthy Learners). IncludingWhat is the Risk Pool Fund and how does it work?What are the key market failures or needs it is designed to address?Are grantees often unwilling to highlight “failures” to their funders, for fear of losing future support?Are funders less likely to be objective in evaluating challenges faced by grantees when their own money is directly affected?Is a drive to keep “overheads” low part of the challenge?Can the collectivisation of risk through pooling offer reassurance to funders?How do you distinguish between foreseeable and unforeseeable problems? What role does RPF's External Review Panel play?Does the experience of organisations on the ground give them a different perspective on risk?Is scaling the goal? Would replication be more appropriate? Or is the aim to highlight a market failure and thereby change funder behaviour? Has the RPF had an impact on the perception of risk among the funders involved in it?Are the insights from the fund being used to inform any preventative work designed to reduce the risks of certain kinds of failures occurring?What impact are we seeing so far from the dismantling of USAID, and what should we expect to see longer term? Related Links:Risk Pool FundHealthy LearnersRisk Pool Fund model analysis reportRPF paper, "Charting the divide: When funders perceptions of risk collide with on-the-ground realities"WPM article on "Philanthropy at a time of chaos"Philanthropisms interviews with Ewan Kirk, Sadaf Shallwani and Martha Lackritz-Peltier.

The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of is back with its second deep dive of the season, this one covering one of David's and Ryan's favorite movie weapons of all time: the Han Solo blaster. To fill in all the greeblies and nerdy details, the guys are joined by DL-44 expert, master builder, and gunsmith Scott Juarez from the RPF and the Star Wars fan community. They cover everything from the (in)famous A New Hope blaster to the "Greedo killer" to the MGC blasters of Empire to the stunts with a fascinating hero lineage to David's own "Stembridge blaster" and that weird hero from Jedi. In and amongst it all, the guys discuss the purported "only fully intact [Han Solo] blaster from the original film" recently offered for public sale... and why, maybe, it is no longer either a purported hero or offered for sale.

In this compelling episode of The Long Form podcast, we sit down with Dr. Charles Murigande, a key but often overlooked figure in post-genocide Rwandan politics, to unpack pivotal moments in Rwanda's history. A former Rwandan ambassador and cabinet minister, Murigande shares rare insights into the early struggles of the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF), the 1998 Kicukiro cadre revolt, the political crisis surrounding President Pasteur Bizimungu's fall, and standing for president against Paul Kagame in 2000. This exclusive interview offers a deep dive into the political dynamics of post-genocide Rwanda, the rebuilding of the state, and what lies ahead for the country and the Great Lakes region. A must-watch for anyone interested in the Tutsi Genocide aftermath, the evolution of the RPF, and the untold stories behind Rwanda's political transformation.Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.

Een zilveren jubileum voor de ChristenUnie. Dat moet voor hen een feest zijn en voor de achterban ook. Het is een kwart eeuw geleden dat de politieke partijen GPV en RPF fuseerden en daar de huidige ChristenUnie uit voortkwam. Wat heeft de partij ons politieke landschap gebracht? En hoe ziet de toekomst eruit? Te gast: Niels van den Bovenkamp, politiek verslaggever bij Nederlands Dagblad. 

Het is woensdag precies 25 jaar geleden dat het GPV en de RPF hun krachten bundelden en samengingen tot de ChristenUnie. De kleine partij met duidelijke profiel wist in die jaren drie keer onderdeel te zijn de regering. Hoe ging die samenwerking in het begin en is de partij veranderd in de loop der jaren? We bespreken de hoogte- en dieptepunten met fractievoorzitter Mirjam Bikker en oud-fractievoorzitter en oud-minister: André Rouvoet.

De ChristenUnie viert dit jaar haar 25-jarig jarig jubileum. Wat maakte destijds dat GPV en RPF samen gingen? Wat merk je nu nog van deze twee bloedgroepen? Hoe meet je of een fusie of samengaan van twee partijen succesvol is? Wat is de toekomst van de partij?En we praten over Mirjam Bikker, zij is nu twee jaar partijleider. Hoe doet zij het? Is ze de onbetwiste leider van de partij? Waar is ze goed in? En hoe probeert ze zich te onderscheiden van andere politici? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Summary: Like a bicycle kick goal at minute 95, Sara finally completes editing on a much overdue interview with fellow Carraville author HeyJulien !  Sara and Julien talk about the world of football RPF (as in soccer, for all you Yankees); specifically the delightfully odd-couple rivals-to-lovers ship of English football pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Other talking points scattered across the pitch include: football as war, derby days and football rivalry; the joys of local non-league football, the Bundesliga and fußballkultur; to switch POV, or not to switch POV; the annoying beauty of David Beckham; and of course, we discuss the tragically under-utilized in fic friendship of Paul Scholes and Gary Neville (or, Scholesy as the Kermit to Gary Neville's Miss Piggy).  Join us, if you like! Correction - at 03:27:40 we incorrectly refer to our wonderful fellow Carraville author as ‘player1604'-- their handle is player1064, which is a reference to Gary Neville's England legacy number. Gary was the 1,064th player to play for England's National Team.    Contact and Credits: Intro Theme: Kyle Laurin "Oasis Supersonic Theme" (Twitter: @cobrakylemusic) Tumblr: talkinfanfic.tumblr.com  Instagram: @talkinfanfic Email: talkinfanfic@gmail.com    Time caps: 00:10:39 - Chelsea v Liverpool result in the Carabao Cup Final AND “Football and Butts” 00:13:17 minutes - Picking an English team as an outside fan, local rivalry in sport, and the mechanisms of tribalism 00:21:10 - Football pride as a substitute for national pride in Germany 00:22:57 - League structure in european football, the purity of the local club, financial doping, and German “fußballkultur” 00:32:57 - A late introduction to HeyJulien !

Flourish's final “Ask Fansplaining Anything” episode follows the format of the previous 18 (!!), with a new batch of (thoughtful as ever!) listener letters and voicemails. Topics discussed include people bringing a prior adaptation's fandom baggage to a new version, writing RPF about people who aren't actually famous at all, the tropification of fanfiction, and whether multiple versions of a character can feel true simultaneously.

This week, Grace and James take some time to discuss Real Person Fics.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour we are examining what is now called the Genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda as they took place starting 30 years ago this week, and arriving at the conclusion that this horrible tragedy was masked to conceal the truth of the actual perpetrators, the RPF, and the victims. In our first half hour, journalist Ann Garrison joins us to elaborate on what her research revealed and about how the current day Rwanda is a totalitarian regine with no room for dissent on this question. Then in our second half hour, writer, and publisher Robin Philpot returns to the show to talk about his 2013 book, Rwanda and the New Scramble for Africa.

In this episode of Fic Clique, your hosts discuss "sacrificial lamb (self-proclaimed)," by flemeth (Locked Tomb) @10:12, "voyages," by junos (SVT RPF) @36:14, and "leave no space," by linearity (Formula 1 RPF) @1:05:01. It's that time of year again where your hosts gather 'round and swap fic recs! While we always enjoy our host rec exchange, we think we really knocked it out of the park this year. If you enjoy the community efforts of fandom, AUs as a vehicle for character study, or how the burden of legacy can weigh on someone, you'll love this episode too.

On Episode 210, “The RPF Tipping Point,” Elizabeth and Flourish welcome back Grace and the Fever author Zan Romanoff to talk about her new podcast, On the Bleachers, on Taylor Swift, football player Travis Kelce, and the pop-culture firestorm their relationship (???) has sparked. Topics discussed include the backlash against the ripped-from-the-headlines romance novel Roughing the Princess, the fuzziness between RPF, biopics, celebrity profiles, and social-media narratives, and how Zan—who's written plain old RPF in addition to meta fiction about celebrities and fans—thinks about her own work in light of these thorny boundaries.  

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in the inner circles of Scientology? This episode offers a rare insight into the world of this enigmatic organization as we sit down with ex-Scientologist Dylan Gill. Dylan shares his arresting experiences from spending time in the infamous Sea Org and working alongside figures such as David Miscavige and Shelley Miscavige during a tumultuous period in the 1980s. From conceptualizing time machines to source information retrieval, Dylan's account uncovers the unique projects and the impact they had on the organizational dynamics.Imagine being barred from speaking to your own spouse. That's the reality that Dylan faced as he talks about Scientology's stringent regulations impacting his marriage. The psychological trauma he endured during his time in the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF) is difficult to comprehend, but a necessary exploration to understand the deep-seated fear and damage caused by radical belief systems. Dylan's reflections on those who suffered loneliness and isolation within the organization shed light on the grim reality behind its glossy exterior.Dylan's escape from Scientology's RPF is nothing short of a Hollywood thriller. Running through rivers and creek beds, battling fear, and surviving against all odds, he recounts his dramatic getaway and the subsequent struggle with homelessness. His story is a testament to resilience and the will to survive, finding hope in the unlikeliest of places. As we close, Dylan underscores the importance of unity and compassion, emphasizing how helping each other and sending love and kindness can be a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. Join us in this emotional journey as we uncover the hidden world of Scientology with Dylan Gill.Support the showBFG Store - http://blownforgood-shop.fourthwall.com/Blown For Good on Audible - https://www.amazon.com/Blown-for-Good-Marc-Headley-audiobook/dp/B07GC6ZKGQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=Blown For Good Website: http://blownforgood.com/PODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2131160/shareApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blown-for-good-behind-the-iron-curtain-of-scientology/id1671284503 Spotify: ...

Not the popslash! This week, V and Emily revisit one of their favorite topics -- "let teenage girls create bad art because it deserves to exist" -- as they recall one of several big Fanfiction.net content purges. This time, it was the total destruction of the RPF section, a loss of tens of thousands of stories in one fell swoop. Yes, V talks about Dream Street again. Yes, Emily talks about Backstreet Boys. Yes, there's a list of all of the fandoms that were murdered, and it's a total time capsule to the autumn of 2002. 

First, Indian Express' Sweety Adimulam talks about the shooting onboard the Jaipur-Mumbai Superfast Express train by a RPF constable Chetan Singh.Second, Indian Express' Divya Goyal tells us why young men from Punjab are increasingly seeking brides with good IELTS scores. (10:15)Lastly, we give you a quick update on Haryana's Nuh which witnessed communal clashes last week. (16:56)Hosted by Rahel PhiliposeProduced and scripted by Utsa Sarmin, Rahel Philipose, and Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar

Earlier this week, communal violence erupted in Haryana, spreading to Gurugram and other areas with reports of vandalism. The clashes in Nuh during a religious procession resulted in six deaths. The violence allegedly stemmed from rumors that a cow vigilante, Monu Manesar, involved in previous killings in Bhiwani, would attend the procession. However, as reported, Manesar did not show up at the event and claimed that he has nothing to do with the violence or the killings. Another distressing incident involved an RPF constable who shot and killed four people, including his senior officer and three Muslim passengers, on the Mumbai-bound Jaipur-Mumbai Superfast Express near Palghar railway station. The constable, Chetan Kumar, was later arrested by the Government Railway Police, GRP. These incidents raise concerns about India's internal security mechanism. The lack of police presence during the Haryana clash raises questions about the administration's preparedness and response. Why was the police not present during the Haryana clash? Is it unrealistic to even expect unbiased policing during such violent times? Why did the administration fail to prevent the planned violence from unfolding? Dev Goswami and "Def Savvy," Abhishek Bhalla, delve into the role of the police in internal security and why it often comes under scrutiny.  Also, the RPF incident prompts questions about provisions to handle 'mentally challenged' officers and why such an officer was allowed on duty, if that's the case. And do such hate crimes qualify as terror attacks? Listen in! Produced by Anna Priyadarshini Sound mix by Sachin Dwivedi

Episode Notes We finish up our two part series on stage gay by discussing it as a marketing tool and as theatre by examining Panic! At The Disco's usage of stage gay throughout the band's tenure. We also get into fandom's response to stage gay in the form of RPF, or Real Person Fiction, and what the symbiotic nature between stage gay and fan looked like. Neutral RPF discussion begins at 30:05 and continues on for nearly the rest of the episode, please listen at your own discretion!

Episode Notes This week's episode revolves around discussing the stage gay phenomenon within the scene in the early 2000s where we talk about homophobia in the aughts, stage gay as empowerment and protest, and sexuality in performance. At the top of this episode we mentioned putting a timestamp on where intense neutral discussion of RPF (real-person fiction) begins, but this episode got split into two parts so that heads up will be applicable for part 2! @soemopod on Twitter and Instagram

Oil of Olay?! This week, V and Emily take a short trip through fandom history to 2022, when the most controversial OTW elections to date* announced its candidate roster. The controversy turned out less to be about the OTW than about the 227 Incident that got AO3 banned in China -- and holy moly, was it an incident. Your cohosts do not speak Mandarin, so apologies for ALL of the pronunciations in this episode. Have you ever had RPF drama in one of your fandoms? Have you ever bought a product because of the celeb who repped it? * This episode was recorded two months ago, before the whistleblowing of the OTW's abuses of its volunteers, lack of TOS/COC framework, and absolute skirting of legality with regard to CSAM. The opinions expressed in this episode with regard to the OTW do not necessarily hold true today, the date of release. *

This is  second part of the conversation that we  had with  RPF stalwart Protais Musoni .

Summary: Sara takes (kind of sort of) a break from talking fanfic and bandfic to talk about a different form of storytelling– music, and writing about music! shineswithyou is a familiar face around Oasis and U2 tumblr, but what you might NOT know is that she has recently embarked on a writing journey of her own, with a substack blog about music and its place as the soundtrack of her own life. Sara and shines talk about her blog, and the difficulty of “writing words about sounds”; how music is a language in and of itself capable of telling its own (and our own) stories. Of COURSE we loop it back around to fanfiction and RPF (or, ‘real person fanfiction'), and how bandfic is, at its core, a pure form of love for the musical artist. Other talking points include: how awesome Bono is, and how we wish we could have been at Slane Castle in 2001; the perennial dysfunction of the Gallagher brothers; and the dichotomy of the U2 and Oasis fandoms.

Bop bop doowop! This week, V and Emily travel back to a seminal moment in popslash and bubblegum history with the release of one of the most iconic songs of the '90s, "MMMBop" by Hanson -- and the subsequent world takeover by three blond boys from Tulsa and their legion of loyal fans. Despite, or perhaps because of, being a worldwide phenomenon, Hanson's fans suffered a fate similar to so many teen girl-heavy fandoms: being pathologized and maligned, not celebrated for their ingenuity and passion. So, which Hanson was your dreamy fave? And when you get old and start losing your hair, can you tell me who will still care? (No, you can't, 'cause you don't know. Oh-oh. Yeah, yeah.)

Over the weekend, the ruling party, the RPF held its first National Congress in a few years. During the congress, the top most positions in the organisation were voted on by party members. These positions included party chairperson, the vice, the secretary general and other members of the National Executive Committee.  Why is this a big deal? Because, as RPF goes, so does the country.  This week, I shall talk about why this particular congress is so important for Rwanda's future. On Thursday, Paul Rusesagina, landed back in the US after a few days in Qatar. He was released by presidential pardon, along with is co-accused, and had his sentence commuted. We shall discuss what this means for Rwanda moving forward.  If you want to share your thoughts on the topics I discuss use the hashtag #LongFormRw on Twitter and follow us on Twitter and Instagram on our handle @TheLongFormRwBe a part of the conversation.

durée : 00:59:56 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - La secrétaire du général de Gaulle à Londres, Elisabeth de Miribel, se confiait dans "Mémoires du siècle" sur ce jour historique où elle a tapé à la machine le texte qui allait devenir l'Appel du 18 juin. En 1989, dans l'émission "Mémoires du siècle", c'est un témoin exceptionnel de la journée du 18 juin 1940 qui raconte le déroulement des événements à Londres aux côtés d'un général de Gaulle isolé. Elle s'appelle Elisabeth de Miribel, elle a 24 ans et elle est devenue à la hâte la secrétaire du Général. Issue d'une famille de militaire très traditionnelle et catholique, Elisabeth de Miribel s'oriente vers des études de psychologie et s'occupe de jeunes enfants en difficulté à Genève. En 1939, elle rentre en France afin de s'engager mais n'ayant pas de diplôme d'infirmière on la place comme traductrice au Quai d'Orsay avant de l'envoyer à Londres à la mission française de guerre économique dirigée par Paul Morand. C'est là qu'elle va rencontrer le général de Gaulle après la déclaration de l'armistice par le général Pétain. Révoltée par cette annonce, elle refuse alors de rentrer en France et devient l'une des plus proches collaboratrices de De Gaulle. Introduite le matin du 18 juin dans l'appartement de Seamore Place où de Gaulle venait provisoirement de prendre ses quartiers, on lui demande de taper à la machine un discours du Général, alors qu'elle était selon elle "nulle" en secrétariat. Elle raconte s'être retrouvée devant une écriture "illisible" et a eu recours au service de Geoffroy de Courcel, aide-de-camp du Général, pour tout déchiffrer. Le soir même de Gaulle parle aux Français à la BBC. "Quelques jours plus tard, nous nous sommes installés à Saint-Stephan's House, dans un étage un peu poussiéreux. C'était très primitif, nous avons dû taper à la machine sur des caisses renversées", se souvient-elle*.* Ils étaient selon elle comme des "dissidents" de l'Ambassade de France à Londres. Témoin privilégiée de cette journée historique, quand elle se remémore cette période de grande incertitude, elle compare de Gaulle à un "rocher dans la tempête" assez isolé. Elle loue sa vision des événements, sa grandeur et souhaite continuer à ses côtés. C'est elle qui demande par la suite à partir en mission de soutien au Canada pour y monter des Comités de la France libre. Elle y reste jusqu'en 1943 avant de rejoindre Alger et de s'engager ensuite comme correspondante de guerre auprès du général Leclerc. C'est en suivant la 2ème DB qu'elle entre dans Paris . Sur l'après-guerre, elle explique que "les jeux politiques ont repris assez vite et de Gaulle était très au-dessus et ne l'a pas supporté". Il était "comme un phare qui voyait très loin mais qui ignorait les détails proches". Membre du RPF créé par de Gaulle, ce qui lui a le plus plu, ce sont les débuts, qu'elle compare à des "moments de chevalerie". En 1949, elle entre au Carmel où elle reste quatre années. A sa sortie, une fois ses problèmes de santé réglés, elle retourne au Quai d'Orsay où elle mène une carrière exemplaire. Elle meurt en 2005 à l'âge de 89 ans et s'est aussi faite connaître en publiant de nombreuses biographies. Par Olivier Copin Mémoires du siècle - Elisabeth de Miribel  (1ère diffusion : 07/08/1989)

In the latest (fifteenth!) installment of “Ask Fansplaining Anything,” Flourish and Elizabeth tackle a new collection of listener letters. Topics discussed include defining “canon” in RPF fandoms, the sad fate of fandoms on Twitter, and what to do about non-fandom friends who judge your fannish activities. Plus: a query about the hypothetical legality of physically printed fanfiction in libraries, with an answer from *actual lawyer* and copyright expert Earlgreytea68.

Congrats to the proud papa! Back in 2016, One Direction's Louis Tomlinson became a father (fact) and 1D fans everywhere decided that the baby's name was Conchobar (rumor). This week, V tells Emily the story of a fandom she was actually in, and may have had an accidental hand in turning into a shitshow, as the sordid saga of Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson shipping baffles Emily to her core. When does RPF (real-person fanfiction) turn from a hobby into a damaging force? Why did actual celebrity news sources pander to "Larries"? And how much fault actually lies at V's very sorry feet?

Long live Strekdom and may it always prosper! This week, Emily and V are heading to the original frontier of fannish culture: Star Trek fan clubs of the 1960's. It's super emotional, and the women who created the groundwork of everything we love today deserve our utmost respect for their sheer ballsiness and bananas love of Leonard Nimoy. Join us as we learn about Vulcanalia, discuss ditto machines, and basically write RPF about how much we love the OG fangirls of yore. Have you paid your membership dues? Did you remember your Tupperware of snacks?

In Episode 185, “RPF Revisited,” Elizabeth and Flourish use a trio of listener letters to return to the perennially thorny topic of real person fiction. How does RPF fit into the broader fandom space in 2022? What does “canon” even mean when it comes to real people? How do fans reconcile with troubling new information about celebrities they've written and read about? And is RPF source material the same as fictional source material, or are there fundamental differences between the two?

Talkin' Fanfic  Episode No. - 304 Episode Title - Interview with Jeevey   Summary: Sara sits down with the amazing, sublime, talented Jeevey, a legend in the Oasis RPF and Gcest world. Jeevey talks about the challenges of finding time to express yourself amid real life responsibilities; telling the truth through amateur writing; the joys of RPF and her start in the U2 fandom; rejecting the shame of writing taboo topics, and why she likes writing about interesting, compelling characters versus ‘unproblematic' more acceptable figures (BORING!) Jeevey is also the fandom expert on Noel Gallagher's pre-Oasis career as a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets, and his friendship (ahem) relationship, with the now legendary Mancunian Clint Boon. Jeevey chronicles a Clint/Noel romance in her beautiful ongoing work, “Transistor”. We also mention Jeevey's recent trip to the UK to see both Gallagher brothers in concert; a highlight of which was Jeevey's front row view of High Flying Birds' guitarist Gem Archer's rather, er, overwhelming and impressive physical presents.
