Be Reasonable is a podcast which examines beliefs from outside of the mainstream, exploring how those views are constructed and what evidence people feel supports their case. We believe in approaching subjects with respect and an open mind, engaging with people of differing viewpoints in an environment where debate is polite and good-natured, yet robust and intellectually rigorous.

A triumph of rational thought
Couldn’t get a better podcast in terms of clarity, engaging content and respect for all beliefs. The interview elicits great insights from people who might ordinarily be hostile and dismissive. Have five stars!!!
Not your average fare
I first discovered the work done by Marsh and the MSS after seeing him at the Aus Skep Con 2014 - hosting a panel on consumer protection. When confronted by a chiro with an axe to grind, Marsh politely but firmly challenged the points raised and in a short exchange exposed the weaknesses in his arguments for any objective observer to see. This podcast is an extension of that exchange.
A wonderful podcast!
I was introduced to this podcast when I saw Michael Marshall speak at the Australian Skeptics Convention. Michael does such a wonderful job of asking the tough questions while still being polite and respectful to people. He is the exact antidote the skeptics movement needs to Richard Dawkins' arrogant, condescending and out-of-touch way of interacting.
This podcast was my favourite skeptical discovery of 2014 and i hope we see more wonderful things from Be Reasonable in 2015!
(Also Haley was lovely, it would be great if she ever came back on, but I understand that life can get in the way of these things sometimes)
