I’m very sad this is over. It was my favorite podcast. As I became aware that 47 years being a Christian was just bullshit I needed help – I needed to understand how religion had destroyed my thinking for so long and how it had controlled me.
You all provided a great amount of eduction and reflection.
And it is too bad you are ending the show right now in particular because the world desperately needs help separating “Believers” from “The Belief”. The accusation of bigotry keeps so many from admitting how much they don’t like certain destructive tenets of religion – they are afraid of being called bigoted if they describe bad Koranic or Bible verses.
But we all need to find ways to get beyond that. To hate the “Tenets of Bowling” is not to hate bowlers. To hate a prison is not to hate the prisoners.
Anyway – if prayer worked, I’d pray for you to continue your shows. Alas, Goodspeed.

Oh – and for goodness sake, how did I leave this out – THANK YOU, SO MUCH!
Your show really meant a lot to me.
Kevin Wells says
I’m sorry to hear that Reasonable Doubts is coming to an end, it has meant a lot to me over the past couple of years as I have gone through my deconversion process. It is the podcast that I turned to when I wanted a rational and thoughtful approach to atheism, not to mention one of the most entertaining podcasts I’ve come across.
Thank you all for the work you’ve put in, and I would love to hear about any projects you will all be continuing to work on so that I am not missing out on your guys completely.
Postcard John says
Top stuff. What a shame. All the best.
Meri says
This is really sad news. RD was the first podcast I listened to and still my favourite. Any chance you’re quitting to set up a new, even more awesome podcast?
Jonathan MS Pearce says
This is such sad news that I am coming over to the States, I will kidnap you all, and will force you to record new episodes for me. And you will enjoy it. Yes, yes you will.
Jason Goertzen says
Sad news, though I guess we knew it was coming. Thank you guys for the great work over the years on what was one of the best podcasts out there. I was excited every time I saw a new episode come out, and looked forward, especially, to “God Thinks Like You,” from which I learned a lot.
Good luck to all of you in whatever else is keeping you busy!
Stuart Weaver says
This is quite a tragedy.
Even more so given the lack of the DrProf in the latest run of episodes.
Katamari says
I am seriously upset that this show is ending. This was my favourite podcast, you guys were intelligent, funny, and well-spoken and you worked so well together. Thanks for broadening my mind. Thanks especially to Dr. Prof. Luke Galen who basically inspired me to go and do a PhD in the psychology of religion. I’m not exaggerating when I say this show changed my life a little bit :)

Ah well, we all knew this was coming…
Thankyou, doubtcasters, for all the great work over the years. Reasonable Doubts was/is definitely the best podcast on the subject. Intelligent but not stuffy, uncompromising but not overly piss-takey. I am sad that it had to end.
Best wishes for you all and thanks again.
P.S. you should release a torrent of the complete series, and get them up on archive.org. They’re worth keeping.

I still am missing you! Sigh…
