I begin each day by listening to this podcast which helps ground me with intent and purpose before the barrage of news, emails, meetings, etc. Every episode offers something interesting and useful whether you care about Stoicism or not.

This is a great podcast. We need it in these times, it is very relevant.

I really want to enjoy the content but the interviews are like totally like you know like…. Stop saying “LIKE” FML!!!!!

If you do not know the amazing history of the Republican Party you should listen to this podcast. Really listen. What Adam Kinzinger and Ryan Holiday talk about is the exact reason I stay republican. I may not agree with what republicans are doing now but I believe in the values they used to...Read full review »

What a great way to start the day with such motivation and inspiration. I love the enthusiasm that Ryan brings through with his daily meditation.
SassyNessie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/15/24
Decided to give this a try after really enjoying the books but the podcast is really a waste of time. The straw for me was the episode “worst advice on the internet” where Ryan decided to use Stoicism to go after people on the right who are much more successful than Ryan and whom he clearly has a...Read full review »

I have a few of your books and follow your podcast all the way from Mozambique. It introduced me to the wonders of ancient philosophy, and I now carry Meditations with me along with the Bible as my two most important books

As someone who loves to read/ write since childhood, appreciated this conversation immensely!

Highly useful content, I listen daily. My main critique for Mr. Holiday is for him to consider pulling back a little on plugging his books and other wares. Secondary to this, sometimes I cannot relate when he gets into the difficulties of a celebrity. I love this show and recommend it to...Read full review »

Look I get this guy has to make money but jeez all he does is try to sell you on everything every single episode. Also just repeats the same stuff over and over again not a ton of new knowledge coming from him. Lastly he hates trump and I truly don’t see how someone who studies Marcus and...Read full review »

Fan of Ryan for a long time and always get some valuable insights from his shows. Keep it up my man

I couldn’t get enough of Wright Thompson and Ryan Holiday talking about this new book “The Barn”, that Thompson has written. Thompsons voice just holds you for parts 1 & 2. The subject matter while known to me and the thought of what happened to this young boy and his family and country has...Read full review »

I’ve read Ryan’s articles and listen to several episodes. Ryan just talks too much and sometimes at the expense of the guest and honestly he obfuscates a fairly simple discussion or idea to the point I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even know what he’s trying to say. I revisited the show because Timm C...Read full review »

This show is my favorite daily podcast, with essential wisdom gifted in short daily episodes and long-form interviews. I feel my heart expand, my breath drop, and my shoulders relax as I learn from the hard-fought and hard-won wisdom of the Stoics, both ancient and modern. I have learned so much,...Read full review »

I know you have to sell your own product.. but sometimes it’s too much. Seems almost prideful... Other than that, love all the books and podcasts.
mdyd16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/24
I have inadvertently been living a fairly stoic mindset, but did not know it until I was introduced to your work by my sister that is a Philosophy professor. It has been very fun to hear all that your share. Your work has helped me fill in some gaps of thought and add to the ways I operate in a...Read full review »

I’ve listened to quite a few of his podcasts- but the Amanda Knox podcast is obnoxious. She and Ryan dragging Trump into her being judged and falsely imprisoned is bizarre…..rules for thee, not for me. And NOT Stoic.
Mismasters via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/24
Thank you Ryan!
D-grr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/24
I wanted to enjoy listening it was difficult not to be distracted by the frequency of Ryan saying, ‘right’ throughout the lecture. It would be so much better if Ryan could control that!
Pedantic Polly via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/15/24
Ryan’s daily podcast on Stoicism and tangential philosophies and topics is very well done. He brings clarity to things that are worth thinking about every day.

Your interview with Mr Coppola was amazing. You complimented each other like a duet.
Paul@Tokyo via Apple Podcasts · Japan · 09/15/24
I’m am listening to Ryan’s podcast from last 4 months or so, I have become more disciplined and started making hard choices in my life which in retun making my life easy. Ryan connects with the audience really well. Thank you for making our life better every day 🙏

Love this podcast and the daily wisdom that Ryan shares. The things you will learn have the power to transform your life and those around you. Thank you, Ryan for putting so much care and attention into your work. Also, the Francis Ford Coppola interview was absolutely incredible. Gem of a...Read full review »

I appreciates Ryan’s podcasts as they make me think and ultimately improve
Milfodo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/24
When I drive my kids to school we listen to The Daily Stoic…There are days when I feel there is a camera following me and the daily stoic message matches to my needs for that day. I know that it is a win - when my oldest mocks me and tells me “they know” because they too heard the message I am...Read full review »

It’s a pity, because there’s really great content here, but I would estimate that a solid 40-50% of each episode is actually just promoting his various books, courses, website, etc. Incredibly distracting, and not how I am intentionally choosing to spend my time. There are other podcasts about...Read full review »
Penguin94 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/23/24
Was hoping for balanced notes, the first episode condemned one political party (you can guess who) and attempted to bring levity to BLM riots by saying ‘Well the Republicans’ rioting was worse!’ Lost a great opportunity to dive into anthropological theories of exchange and mention books like...Read full review »

For me the conversations go beyond stoic philosophy. This is a reflection of what it means to be human. Thank you for that.
Edward Aaron via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/24
This podcast has the worst ad-to-content ratio of any podcast I’ve ever heard.
Autodidact31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/24
I love the insights to stoic philosophy. Have been going through a very challenging time professionally, and this is one of my new “go to” resources to navigate. I appreciate the daily podcast and also insights into to Marcus Aurelius’ Mediations. Less useful for me are Ryan’s interviews with...Read full review »

As Seneca once said: sell, sell, sell…promote, promote, promote!

It will often surprise you, gently leading you down an unexpected path. It’s the cerebral kombucha and a must for a well balanced mind. Simple and easy to consume yet full of brain fuel, bravo!
Actively indulgent via Apple Podcasts · France · 07/21/24
I have listened to Ryan almost daily for the last few years and I can hands down say this podcast has made a massive difference for my stress and mindset. I have implemented stoic philosophies into my daily life which has allowed me to live with much more ease and happiness. Thank you Ryan!
bodybykondi via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/20/24
I have really enjoyed this podcast- although I do find it a bit blokey- and jock sporty. I was really inspired by the recent read - the third thing -on not seeking thanks, be good and just do good, seeking validation undermines your intentions. Which when ended was tailed with Ryan requesting...Read full review »

What a great find! Now, one of my favorite authors has a podcast! Thank you!! Part of my daily ritual!

I’ve just discovered this podcast and have a request. With, literally, thousands of episodes to choose from, I would appreciate a list of essential episodes in a sort of “Introduction to The Daily Stoic Podcast”. At this point, I’m overwhelmed with choices and can’t just start from the...Read full review »

Ryan is a decent guy that puts out thoughtful content. I often reccomend this podcast to others.
Nicky balaclava via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/24
I love the content. Dudes super smart, well written, and well spoken. I do feel like he’s sold out. All his shows (even the short ones) are so full of ads. And now this Wondery thing to listen to certain episodes?? I understand the guy wants to make a living… but holy moly. Between him pushing...Read full review »

Always been a fan of Zen and Stoicism and try to incorporate it into my life. It’s nice to hear someone on a podcast who’s grounded and relative to your life.
jjjc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/24
I really enjoy Ryan and his content. Stoicism has brought me great joy and have incorporated it in my everyday life. I even do a Stoicism project in my world history class integrating Ryan’s videos as content. Lucky to have Ryan sign a copy of The Obstacle Is The Way a couple of weeks ago when a...Read full review »

Just a platform to promote and constantly push a relentless stream of product, both from the host and a parade of fellow grifters and shills he has on the show.

Too much filler. It takes several minutes of ads, sponsorships, self promotion, long winded intros, and then there are ads in the middle and end too! It’s not something you can quickly put on and go for a jog while listening unless you’re willing to either pay for premium service or hit the fast...Read full review »

Thakidnjc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/24
Focus on the content and it’s great…if you listen to Ryan and his ego too much you’ll hate it. He has a level of ego that is distracting. He’s level 100 pompous…super odd for a stoic.
bollmanj11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/24
One of the best/interesting interviewers. I might not always agree with the interviewee, but I always learn something new, and always gain a better understanding of human nature, the Daily Stoic episodes are outstanding and a revelation from this crazy world we find ourselves in.

Came to listen to Mark and instead got Ryan. I understand Ryan is passionate about the subjects discussed and I so want him to accommodate his guests and his listeners who came to hear the amazing guests. Thank you!
