In 2012, a pale woman with crazy eyebrows and a keytar strapped to her back made a video of herself, wearing a kimono and holding up hand-Sharpied signs on a street in Melbourne.

One day in May 2015, Eric Nuzum stood before a gathering of influential NPR trustees and board members, and showed them a photograph of a young woman with shoulder-length brown hair. "This is Lara," Nuzum's slide read. "Lara is the future of NPR." "NPR's mission must be to serve that woman the way we served her parents," Nuzum remembers saying. "Nothing else matters."
