Glass City HumanistMonette Richards from Secular WomanIn this episode we talk to secular activist Monette Richards. She is vice president of Secular Woman and former president of CFI NE Ohio. We talk about her journey to becoming an activist, the real scourge of leadership burn out, and if there is any hope for organized secular groups to effect real change as it seems our world is burning down around us. Our talk was a good time, really.

Atheists Talk Radio ShowMonette Richards, history of Secular WomenJuly 14, 2019 You'd think that a movement that's so focused on growing wouldn't want to chase off a large chunk of their potential membership. You'd think an organization dedicated to supporting that constituency within the larger movement would be considered useful instead of unwanted. The history of Secular Woman demonstrates that reality is way more complicated than that. Today's guest is Monette Richards, current president of Secular Woman. If you enjoyed this show, we'd love to have you come back next week for another episode. You can catch Atheists Talk live, every Sunday Morning at 9am C...

Serious Inquiries OnlySIO124: Lawrence Krauss Accused of Sexual Misconduct; Interview with Monette RichardsThis is a doozy of an episode. Lawrence Krauss was recently accused of a range of sexual harassment and misconduct. I believe his accusers. It's documented quite thoroughly by BuzzFeed.
