“Having gotten even further through this podcast, I thought I'd return to update my review and say that it has only gotten better over time.
Tanner started off reading through Meditations and adding his own commentary, then later started gradually introducing Seneca and Epictetus (if you...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast in a round about way. I'm not sure exactly what set me off on my recent search to read up on Stoicism, but I think I've heard through varous other means ideas like "separate what you can control from what you can't, and focus on that", and "you cannot...”Read full review »

“Not sure if this has been recorded already, but an episode on stoicism if you’re feeling sick or dealing with other ailments would be helpful to learn more about.”

“The show has lost its way again, he used to speak of Marcus, etc and now he has switched to a help group with lots of begging for money. New apps, discord, personal sessions, new books, etc..”

“This episode is why I enjoy Tanner’s show so much. It focuses on a valid concern for everyday day people in our every day lives. Not from an academic standpoint, but from a *practical* one. Nobody is a Sage, nobody is perfect, and that forgiveness, while perhaps not explicitly defined by ancient...”Read full review »

“Begins for money is gross. Put out good content, then money takes care of itself. The podcast initially was great as a journey. Lost its way when Kai came onboard. That mistake was corrected, but the podcast never returned to the initial enjoyable style.”

“I really like how Tanner has put together and interpreted these ancient stoic ideas and explains it in a practical point of view which.
I am 23 years old this podcast has really helped me develop as an individual and has helped me through my tough times.”

“I have been listening to the podcast the last few months, I started from the first episode and have been working my way through.
Tanner does an amazing job here, if you are curious on stoicism or want to dive in deeper, this is the podcast to listen to 🙂”

I far prefer Tanner’s solo episodes to his more recent ones with Kai (or pretty much anyone else for that...”Read full review »

“I do love this podcast but was shocked by Tanner’s talk about communism as something that just hasn’t been done right. I respectfully disagree as there are certain things by nature that are just wrong and can never be righted by human execution. Rape doesn’t work for the victim not because the...”Read full review »

“Can’t praise this podcast enough. Prior to first listening (and then binging) the episodes I dabbled in Stoicism but I wouldn’t say I was very knowledgable or that my practice was very deep. Then I started listening to Practical Stoicism and wow, what a rabbit hole. Tanner and Kai do an...”Read full review »

“I don’t know if I will keep subscribing to this podcast. I can refer you to the critique of Peterson by Chris and Matt on the Decoding the Gurus podcast, I guess, if I wanted to explain what I think of Peterson is as an intellectual. I know addiction so I can see the deception running through...”Read full review »

I find I need to really focus when listening, which can be difficult when you’re trying to multitask (which our brains can’t actually do). I treat this show more...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening since episode 2, it was just about perfect back then. Quick, primarily the quote, a little interpretation. A man on a journey. Back then it presumed I was also on a path and allowed me to leave the interpretation to myself. Then came the adds, which were initially annoying but...”Read full review »

“Incredible content… when you finally reach it.

Sometimes even with my £3.99 sub it’s still...”Read full review »

“Most podcasts don’t even have the choice between ads or a subscription model, so it’s nice to be able to support a good podcast with my wallet rather than have to hear another war thunder ad.

“I can understand ads and getting paid, but when it’s literally 5 mins of ads and 3 mins of actual episode is too much. This isn’t the stoic way. When we value money over teaching it’s time to step back and reevaluate why you’re in this. Used to be such a great show too”
