Fun with Stoicism and Cynicism
These are fun and educational short podcasts about ways of thinking that help in everyday life - especially if you aren’t grounded in religion. The Cynicism episodes are extra fun.

Practical- to the roots
Stoicism is a thought process brought about in Ancient Rome and Greece. They quote Socrates in this podcast. If you like a bit of cynicism, questioning, going to basics in thought- this podcast is for you.

First off what a great host Tanner is, and thank you for the introduction to stoicism. The outcomes are fruit was enlightening, and your guest selection, of Sharon Lebell, was top-notch. I was hanging on every word of your conversation.

Philosophy Made Friendly and Approachable
I love how this show seems casual and approachable but yet packs a punch. It opens the door on stoicism, real stoicism. Working together through the cardinal virtues. Listen to this one. It’s great.

Really lovely conversations.
I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast! The conversation between the host and his guests is intentional and really encouraging. Specifically loved the conversation around death, dying, and Seneca with James Roman.

A great show for anyone who needs something calm and interesting to listen to!
I really enjoy listening to Practical Stoicism. As a classical studies lover, I enjoy how Tanner speaks both on the meditation part of stoicism, as well as the history of the classical world and the “behind the scenes” of the meditation. I like to listen to the show while I am walking or getting ready in the morning. A great show for anyone who needs something calm and interesting to listen to!

Cracked me up...in a good way
I just listened to Bookless, Breadless, and Threadless and I LOVE the term "Bro-icism." It cracked me up because that stuff is everywhere on IG and Twitter. So many are missing the point. Love his last sentence: "Gloating isn't stoic." Very cool.

Value In A Quick Episode
I appreciate podcasts that deliver AND deliver quickly. That’s exactly what practical stoicism is all about! Tanner really dives in and provides you with beautiful meditations, insights and value to help you shift into a more stoic way of life. Thank you Tanner for what you do! I’ll be back around for more as a new subscriber.

The name says it all
Like the podcast name says, it’s practical. I love how the host gives concise lessons but also helps me understand how to apply it in my life today. So it’s not just theoretical, it really is practical.

Interesting show
I really enjoyed this podcast, it definitely makes you think and is delivered in a way that’s easy to listen to.

Intriguing and anxious to learn!
Tanner has a great way of breaking down stoicism so am every day person like myself can understand.

Great podcast
This was recommended to me. At first the title confused me due to me not being knowledgeable about stoicism. But this podcast broke it down so easy within short minutes. I’m happy to stumble upon this podcast

Short eps make learning easy!
Tanner has a great way of speaking and is very informative. The shorter length episodes really help keep my attention on such a vast subject.
