"Damn! That Jeremy Richards is pretty good."

--Mos Def, host of HBO's Def Poetry  

"Richards excels at witty and piercing turns of phrase ... It feels like he's in the room with you, speaking his story, illuminating the enlightenment of a lurking menace."

        -- Utne Reader

"Not to take anything away from Mos Def, but Jeremy Richards is more than pretty good, he is damn fine, super smart, and a fine dresser to boot."

-- John Hodgman, correspondent for The Daily Show and author of The Areas of My Expertise
