AgnosticMom Interviewed On HNN
January 31, 2007 @ 9:41 pm
Would you be interested in hearing my first ever interview? This month’s HNN podcast revolved mostly around Darwin Day, but other topics as well. My interview is somewhere in the middle (segment 3) of podcast #15. Go take a listen and come back with any thoughts you have.

I did listen to the podcast and thought your answers reflected original thinking and were well presented. I feel you have unearthed a vast treasure chest that is filled with potential. I am specifiically talking about the potential for developing the many ways of presenting a secular alternative perspective to children without being “antireligion”. Well done and keep the hammer down.
I saw a recipe that I thought would play into your Dawkins Week. It was for a cake. The design was simple. A box chocolate cake with a thin frosting using whatever you like and then a layer of crushed Oreo wafers (without the filling) thick enough to cover the thin frosting and then gummy worms (or other critters) around on top of the layer of crushed Oreos. It looks like worms in/on dirt!!

Hey, I listened to the podcast as well. Now don’t go and get a big head or anything, but I thought you did quite well. I thought your make up was a bit heavy, but otherwise it was great.
Of course now you will have to be aware of the paparazzi hounding your every step. I’d stay away from that Brad Pitt guy, if I were you.
Worms in dirt! Worthy of the best of “Fear Factor.”

I listened to the podcast yesterday as I was cleaning the house. I thought you did a great job! It was fun to hear your voice
I’m really excited about our Darwin Day celebration this year…last year I found out about it a little too late to have a big celebration with my kids.

Hi, Noell. I’m a humanist, and also a Humanist Celebrant. I’ve been enjoying your column in the HNN, and today listened to your interview on the HNN Podcast. Really enjoyed it. You articulated yourself well.
I congratulate you for the way you and your family celebrate Darwin Week. Your children will only benefit from being taught good science in a fun way.
Incidentally, my wife is a practicing Mormon but you’d never know it to just talk to her. She is so much more a humanist at heart and in deed. We’ve only been married for a little over two years, but we knew each other (and were in love with each other) over thirty years ago. Circumstances (her being widowed quite some time ago and never remarrying, and my divorce four years ago, among other things) finally allowed us to reunite. She doesn’t quite understand how I can have utterly abandoned religious belief, and I know she tires of my atheist talk, but since love is the most powerful force in the human experience we know there is no obstacle or disagreement between us that our love for each other cannot overcome.
Keep up the good work, Noell. You are doing a great service for humanity.

Forrest Prince–Congratulations on your wonderful marriage! You can’t get much better out of life than a great partnership with your spouse.
Thanks for all the compliments!
