#123: Orbitcon and Secular Women Work Conventions This episode is jam packed with amazing convention talk. Cellar Door Skeptics hosts return from their talk at the Michigan Atheist Convention. They talk about their time there, the friendships they made, and the other AMAZING speakers. They reflect on the whole convention and what it means to them. BUT….. The best part of the show is when Tanner does an interview with Stephanie Zvan orchestrator of Orbitcon, an online convention that is designed to meet the needs and interests of the socially active atheist community while providing entertainment and education all from an online platform easily available to everyone. They also talk about the future conference Secular Women Work, what it means to the community and how they are preparing this year to have even more workshops to inspire you to be better activists. This conference is exciting because it talks about women as activists and how we can all learn different tips and tricks pertaining to being better activists in our own communities.

This week's episode is completely unedited. The Secular Women Work Conference is an amazing event held by activists for activists but it won't happen unless it reaches its funding goal which ends in 46 hours as of publication.

Sunday March 26, 2018 This week one of our hosts, Stephanie Svan, is switching her role from being a host to being a guest.  Stephanie joins us to talk about the upcoming Secular Women Work conference; how you can be a part of it, what you can learn, and how everyone is welcome regardless of their gender. You can find the kickstarter for Secular Women Work here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1033564734/secular-women-work-returns  Secular Women Work homepage: http://secularwomenwork.org/  Secular Women on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SecWomenWork Secular Women work on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SecularWomenWork  Patreons of Atheist Talk can enjoy a bonus 30 minutes of content, where Stephanie goes into details about the "Outrage Brigade" and how someone in particular has labelled her an "extremist".  Its a powerful conversation, and one that should make us think about who we set up as our own personal heroes, why we feel the need to have heroes, and the definite foreseeable problems of having heroes in a movement that pays great lip service to rational & critical thinking that is distinct and different from religious dogma. If you enjoyed this show, we'd love to have you come back next week for another fantastic episode.  You can catch Atheist Talk live, every Sunday Morning at 9:00am Central on AM 950 KTNF or online at http://www.am950radio.com/listen-live/ Contact us during the show with questions or comments at (952) 946-6205 or contact us anytime via radio@mnatheists.org or tweet us anytime at @atheiststalk Support the show by visiting https://www.patreon.com/AtheistTalk

Today I have her back on the show to talk about the upcoming conference, plus how the mainstream atheist movement can create safer spaces for attendees in the wake of Lawrence Krauss.As a head’s up, we will discuss rape and sexual misconduct in the atheist movement, so listener discretion is highly advised.

This 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. Since people are trying to casually dismiss the accusations as "Ugh, BuzzFeed" and "Anonymous sources," I took the time to make a quick and dirty breakdown of the individual charges and how many named and unnamed sources there are, and the corroborating evidence. It's not just "anonymous sources" or "rumors" by any means. Here's a great breakdown by Rebecca Watson, and here's an episode by Godless Mama. Sam Harris and Matt Dillahunty had an event scheduled with Krauss a few days after the article dropped. They ultimately agreed he shouldn't appear onstage, but for what I think were bad reasons. There's a 15 minute recording of the event that I break down. It's profoundly disappointing. Though they give pay some lip service to #metoo, it is my opinion that their actual words and conduct in this instance has fallen way short. In fact, I believe the way they have handled this instance is part of the sexist system that is leading to predators getting away with bad behavior for so long. Sam references Keillor as though he's a victim of #metoo, but I go back into that story and there are even more updates about his sexual misconduct. And finally, on a more positive note, I have a great interview with Monette Richards, who has an exciting announcement! The Kickstarter has begun for Secular Women Work!

Stephanie is a writer for The Orbit, her blog Almost Diamonds can be found here. Stephanie was on the ground floor in terms of trying to get anti-harassment policies into the codes of conduct for skeptic and atheist conferences. We talk about the history of that, and then we discuss whether the atheist movement is worth saving or if we ought to abandon it altogether and start something new. Stephanie is also the organizer of Secular Women Work. Leave Thomas a voicemail! (916) 750-4746, remember short and to the point!
