I absolutely love this podcast!
I came to learn of Stoicism about two years ago, and I thought it would be way over my head to understand it. So, when I found this podcast and began listening to it I was extremely impressed by how well Tanner explains such an esoteric topic. Keep up the great work!

Putting the practical in the metaphorical
Really a great podcast to get you thinking- deeply. Yet, it is not pretentious or assuming, rather the show presents complex stoic and other Philosophical principles in a simple manner that applies to all of us and is easily understood. No matter where you are in life, this podcast will leave you thinking more clearly on your humanity and your role in the world around you.

Totally engaging
This is genuinely the coolest podcast I’ve listened to in the longest time. After listening to a few episodes, I’m ready to pull out some old philosophy books. Tanner brings a curiosity to his episodes that is really engaging.

Dreamy Listening
I’m new to stoicism but this podcast is bringing me into the fold with an easy to follow and soothing discussion. The ideas and concepts are really interesting and insightful. Thank you!

Questions that make you think
I like Tanner. He's down-to-Earth, and he asks questions that get you to think about life and beyonnd. The approach to discussing stoicism is done in a way that it's starting to make sense to me. It's practical!

I enjoy the content.
I’m glad I found this podcast - in addition to providing insightful content, he has a great radio voice!

Very Informative
I have a philosophy podcast, “From Nowhere to Nothing”, and we just covered Cynicism, so I was curious how this would match up. There’s a lot of linguistic insights I was unaware of!

Interesting! 👏👏
I’m excited to dive in and learn more about stoicism by tuning into this podcast. Thanks for working so hard to put out such valuable content!
great stuff

Tanner’s voice is as soothing as a calm ocean as it meditates and comforts you. This show has an almost ASMR effect. It’s so calming and relaxing. Very good show. Nice and short and to the point. Keep up the good work

Very well-executed and intriguing podcast. People will sometimes associate Stoicism with men but as a woman, this podcast is very thought-provoking and interesting. As for Tanner, he is an amazing host with a very engaging way of speaking. Highly recommend this podcast.

Best stoic podcast!
Big shoutout to Tanner! He’s constantly working on improving the podcast, giving us more & doesn’t do it just for trends or money - but to deliver the best content. Hope to talk together in real life some time. Great job. 💪

Simple review
I’ve had a go at Meditations for several years now and I’ve only personally met maybe a handful of people that read it and fewer that have given it serious thought outside an academic setting. I’m not really a podcast guy but I’m drawn to the way Tanner conducts each episode. He delivers the passage, breaks each one down the way he understands it and gives the listener a modern explanation of hit it plugs into our lives, more specifically, how he has plug it into his. These glimpses are what has hooked me. He knows he isn’t perfect nor has “figured it out” as many personalities do nowadays. I really appreciate Tanner and his work and would recommend his efforts to anyone. Thank you Tanner and keep up the amazing work.

Great Reaource
If you’re looking to explore stoicism, this is a great resource. Through both reflections and conversations, Tanner does a great job of guiding listeners toward strength of character and a more balanced inner world.

Thought Provoking
When interesting concept to end show! I appreciate Tanner’s breakdown of complicated ideas and the way he offers methods for us to apply these mindfulness principles to our personal lives.

Helpful for a Stoicism Newbie
I’ve long understood the basics of Stoicism thanks to my liberal arts college days, but have never really gotten deep into the topic. Tanner does a nice job of covering the topic in small chunks through interpreting the Marcus Aurelius texts. But it’s his conversations with guests that I appreciate for giving the topic greater accessibility for me.

Legendary
I had the honor of meeting the host, Tanner. He’s exactly the legend you’d think he is by listening to this podcast. Incredible work! An inspiration to other podcasters and an incredible creator. Keep it up with this show!!!

Intriguing
This is an interesting show that’s thought provoking. Host has a great voice and nice delivery. I think overall this show has good insights and content to challenge you to be a better person.
Been listening for quite some time now. Very good philosophical and insightful podcast. Great host and very eady to listen to.

Very Interesting and Concise!
The host has a great speaking voice and I really liked the topic on nuance in society and media.

Excellent interpretation!!
I really enjoy Tanner’s interpretations of meditations. He is thoughtful in his presentation and as unbiased as a stoic can be in this medium. I find his work to be a good companion to reading Marcus. I have added it into my routine whenever I reread meditations. Keep up the good work!!
