In a similar vein, one of my favorite charities is The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation:

The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation (FTPF) is an award-winning international charity dedicated to planting fruit, nut and medicinal trees to alleviate world hunger, combat environmental degradation, strengthen communities, and improve the surrounding air, soil, and water.

I usually cut in with a comment like, “I know a little about this because it interests me, too.” Since it’s a common interest, you do still have a topic to talk about.

In addition to the previously linked SomaFM and RadioParadise, I use ReListen to listen to the Grateful Dead and a lot of other recorded concerts.
