Love this pod
Just dove in from the beginning and will be binging to catch up to the present. This is giving to well crafted words to concepts I have been kicking around for some time. I didn’t realize that there was an ancient philosophy that can help to steer its followers into what I consider mental health, applicable to any era. I held the common misconception of what stoicism means. It is so much more. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Simply the best Stoicism podcast and discord community
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 AMAZING job of explaining the ancient texts in a no-nonsense, practical way to help everyone integrate Stoicism into their lives. They have a free discord community which is fantastic, with hundreds of other practicing Stoics helping each other live better lives. I can’t thank Tanner and Kai enough for their life-changing service to the Cosmopolis. Do yourself a favor and subscribe, your life will be better for it.

Thought provoking and great presentation
This show is presented in a way that really lets you understand what message is being conveyed. Sometimes it takes a few listens not because of the presentation, rather the content is deep, practical, philosophical advice and can be hard to digest in one sitting

Gotta focus when listening
The content is helpful, both original Stoic writings (translations/paraphrases) and Tanner’s (and now more) practical interpretations. 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 as
if I’m sitting down to read (vs some other narrative storytelling shows). Many of the shows are short so can fit in your day.

Just what I was looking for
I am a fairly recent student of stoicism. I looked for podcasts on the subject and this one was exactly what I was looking for.

Thoughtful and Well-Produced!
I look for thoughtful content in my podcasts, and this is quickly one of my favorites. The episodes are not long, but thought provoking. Listen to one and think about it’s applications for a bit before moving on. Well-written and produced, with considered condensation of discussion.

My favorite podcast
I would happily listen to 20 minutes of ads for just 3 minutes of these conversations. This is without a doubt the most valuable show I have ever found. Thank you so much and please keep up the great work!

Liking and Learning
I just started listening a week or two ago. I’m enjoying this thoughtful information about a subject of stoicism. I’ve been interested in it for quite some time. Tried to learn more through books, but honestly, those were boring. I appreciate Tanner’s commitment to excellence, the variety of content and caring about getting this message out in order to make the world a little bit better place by helping people to be better. Good luck - I plan to keep listening and learning!!

Easily my favorite podcast
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. This choice alone makes 5 stars a no brainer. But the actual difference this podcast has made for me by applying some of Tanner and Kai’s wisdom to my personal life and work has really helped me to make positive changes to my character. I’m really glad to be a part of the community and I’m looking forward to going even further down this road.

Excellent!
As a young and growing stoic, this podcast is vital to keeping me consistent and providing me with new brain food to keep growing. Episodes are usually constant and great quality. The hosts obviously really care and are putting their best effort into providing quality stoic content. Completely recommend!!

Brings More Interest to Stoicism
I have long been intrigued by stoicism as part of my personal development journey. This podcast has a diverse number of topics that fall under stoicism and has opened me to new and great ways to explore it further. Very good content and great guests.

The podcast I didn’t know I needed
I stumbled upon this show randomly. I have it a try and I really enjoy it! It’s perfect for a daily reading/listening practice and the episodes are short so they fit into my morning schedule or commute easily.

Philosopher Tanner
A friend of mine turned me onto this podcast, I always knew Tanner as “the podcast guy” but I’m glad he found this niche he seems so into and is growing such a great platform for those interested in this philosophy

A Thinker
In these brief episodes, Tanner gives the listener plenty to think about. These are heavy topics, quoted from ancient philosophers, so taking them in small bits with Tanner's input is helpful. A worthwhile listen!

Daily practice
I am using this podcast to work my way through “Meditations”. I listen to the appropriate meditation, then read it myself and journal about how it relates to my life. Tanner has illuminated parts of the book that, quite frankly tested my translation abilities. I am so happy to hear about all the changes that are happening with Practical Stoicism. It just keeps getting better!

Educational
Interesting podcast. As someone who actually didn’t even know what stoicism was it’s nice to have it broken down in a way I can understand. Also love the soothing voice of the host.

A Classic
Some really interesting old views analysed in new and intriguing ways. The variable lengths is also a nice plus as it’s easy to jump into

Calming… and educational?
I know the two don’t go that well together but I feel such peace as I listen to the reading and Tanner’s voice helps to soothe and relax me. Look, philosophy has never been my strong point but I really felt like I learned something today. So thanks!

This One is Political
I thought there wasn’t anything new to say about American politics, but Tanner found something I hadn’t heard before. I wish he was invited into the wider political discourse to share it, but as it is, or until then, I feel privileged to have access to it here.

I really like how he breaks down stoicism
The podcast gently breaks down stoicism to the most basic person (myself) I like he flow on the podcast and his ability to answer questions. I you are into stoicism, this a must have podcast.
