Then, we kick off summer with music picks from Miguel Perez, producer for NPR's World Cafe. And, "Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet" is a string of text that's become ubiquitous. Designed as a placeholder for work-in-progress documents, those quasi-Latin words now appear on mugs, tote bags and T-shirts. But why did this particular passage of bastardized Cicero become the industry's default? Emily Zhang investigated. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

"Intuition doesn't seem to act aggressively." -Josh Ritter Ethan welcomes his friend, contemporary folk musician and novelist Josh Ritter for a conversation about creativity, inspiration, spirituality and art-making. They discuss where great ideas come from, how the "protocols" of practice influence both creativity and the spiritual path, and the meaning of relative and ultimate truth found within Josh's song "Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding)" off Josh's most recent album I Believe in You, My Honeydew. They also discuss the mental health of an artist, and how fatherhood can lead you to very mixed opinions of Disney movies. Josh Ritter is a renowned singer, songwriter, musician, artist and best-selling author. One of today's most thoughtful and prolific voices, he has released twelve studio albums and was named one of the "100 greatest living songwriters" by Paste Magazine. His newest album 'I Believe in You, My Honeydew' is out now. About his music, The Guardian has said: "Ritter's painstakingly simple but crafted songs establish his own identity in a terrain marked out by Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen." Two-plus decades into his celebrated career, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Bob Weir covering his songs. Josh's substack is here. Last year, with your subscriptions, we were able to release more episodes than any previous year. This was only possible with your support.

Too many nonprofit and association conferences and convenings are built around logistics and tradition rather than purpose and participation. In episode 144 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton and Lee Gimpel challenge nonprofit and association leaders to rethink how convenings, conferences, and member events are designed.  They discuss: why too many gatherings feel like a heavy lift that fails to deliver connection, energy, or real value.  why traditional conference formats fall short—and what leaders can do differently.  How effective events start with purpose, not logistics, and they are designed to tap the collective wisdom already in the room.  By centering participation, intentional connection, and simple facilitation shifts, organizations can transform events from passive, draining experiences into energizing spaces that actually advance mission and strengthen community.   Episode highlights: [07:00] A Defining Moment: Why So Many Meetings Fall Flat   [09:00] The Core Problem with Traditional Conferences   [12:00] Start with Purpose: Asking "Why" (Over and Over)   [14:30] Rethinking the Keynote Model   [16:45] Participation Over Performance   [19:30] Simple Design Shifts That Increase Engagement   [22:30] Making Q&A Actually Work   [25:30] Blending Content and Connection   [31:45] Fixing Networking with Intention   [38:30] Why Receptions Often Miss the Mark   [41:45] The One Question Leaders Must Ask   Guest Bio: Lee Gimpel helps organizations design and lead meetings, retreats, and conferences that are more connected and productive. He is the founder ofBetter Meetings, a DC-based facilitation, training, and experience design firm that often works on events with a high need for engagement, collaboration, and networking. Clients include theNational Association of Realtors, Conservation International, Sodexo, and WorldBank.

Ben Vaughn in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://benvaughn.org/ https://www.straightfromthehat.com/ https://lnkfi.re/SFTH Ben Vaughn grew up in the Philadelphia area on the New Jersey side of the river.  At age 6, his uncle gave him a Duane Eddy record and forever changed his life. In 1983, he formed the Ben Vaughn Combo.  The band was together five years, releasing two albums and touring the U.S. several times.  They received rave reviews in Rolling Stone and People magazine and video airplay on MTV.  The attention inspired Marshall Crenshaw to record Ben's "I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)" for his "Downtown" album. Ben embarked on a solo career in 1988, recording several critically acclaimed albums, touring extensively in Europe and the U.S. and receiving more MTV exposure.  During that period he produced three records for the Elektra Records American Explorer series (Memphis rockabilly legend Charlie Feathers, Muscle Shoals country soul singer Arthur Alexander) and recorded "Cubist Blues," a collaboration with Alan Vega and Alex Chilton.  He also scored two films ("Favorite Mopar" and "Wild Girl's Go-Go Rama"), as well as appearing as a frequent guest commentator on nationally syndicated radio shows “Fresh Air” and "World Cafe."

Send us a textHave you ever felt that gnawing sense of uncertainty that makes your heart race and your mind spiral? That's what we're tackling today—the universal human challenge of dealing with fear.As I reflected on the biblical moment when Christ cried, "My God, why have you forsaken me?", I realized something profound about fear. Often, it's that sense of abandonment—of being utterly alone—that triggers our deepest anxieties. Fear, which I describe as "False Evidence Appearing Real," presents us with illusions that shape our perception and reactions.The way I've learned to handle fear is through what I call our "homeostatic quotient"—maintaining internal balance regardless of external chaos. Take a moment with pen and paper to list everything within your control. This simple exercise shifts focus from what you can't change to what you can, bringing remarkable clarity to an anxious mind. When I catch myself in that spiral of panic, I pause and redirect my thoughts to areas where I have agency.We're living through unprecedented times of disruption and change. Our finances, lifestyles, and relationships face constant pressure as systems evolve at breakneck speed. But perspective is powerful—humans have always adapted. Before our technology-saturated world, people lived fulfilled lives with much less. This reminds us that many of our "necessities" are actually preferences.What gives me the most peace is remembering that God provides in times of abundance and sustains in times of lack. Even the most powerful people on earth sleep—becoming completely vulnerable for hours each day. Who watches over them then? This thought fills me with joy, knowing there's a divine hand guiding us even when we're unaware.If you're struggling with fear today, know this: it's okay to feel afraid, but you don't have to stay there. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen—the perfect antidote to fear's false evidence. Stop comparing yourself to others and remember that He who does not change is with you, becoming your limitless limit.Ready to transform your relationship with fear?
