Good Morning, Stoicism
Discovered Tanner on Twitter through the now defunct “Good Morning Podcasters”. I was introduced to his work with Stoicism and having listened briefly, it’s had me take a long look at myself and realize I need a slight shift in thinking. I’m at the beginning of my journey, but I know this show will help me navigate the waters.

Interesting
I never considered the value of stoicism so this was interesting to listen too

Useful
Podcast that is very helpful to bring the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius to a more practical point in modern life. However, a big minus is that often, half of the episode is made up of ads, self-promotion, in- and outro. Luckily, that seems to get a bit better in the latest episodes.

Practical Insights
I’ve always loved the stoics. This show is a great way to revisit stoicism and relate it to contemporary times.

Great host.
I really enjoyed this show and the amazing interviewing skills of the host.

Insightful
I love these bite-sized episodes. A perfect introduction for beginners and a helpful reminders for those who practice stoicism.

So helpful & relatable
Love this show. I have have learnt a lot & it’s improved my life.

Stoicism
Appreciate the short but insightful episodes, breaking down even difficult to understand concepts in a short, concise, meaningful way in explaining tenants of stoicism.

Great for healthcare providers
I am an Emergency Physician and I love the principles taught here. I have been practicing stoic for a few years it I have to say healthcare providers need this more than ever. Coming off of the heels of a global pandemic, burnout and exhaustion are abundant. The high risk, life and death decisions inherent to emergency medicine benefit so much from a steady mind, and equanimity. Thank you Tanner

Simple episodes that cover a complex topic
Love how Tanner breaks down these topics and ideas in bite sized easy to digest episodes. Great pod!

True Stoic Podcast!
Very much I appreciate what you are doing! I truly enjoy and get benefits intellectually out of your podcast. I love it. Thanks again.

Detailed
Wow! Only one episode so far, and I’m already more clear on the idea of stoicism! Excited to dive into more episodes.

Your trusty guide
Tanner’s passion helps to make this often “unattainable” practice feel very possible but also joyous from the perspective of a PRACTICE. highly recommend, and thank you Tanner. Exhale.

Shake it up
I followed the host of the show from a previous podcast he used to produce called Good Morning Podcasters. Though the content of this show is very different it’s no less enjoyable. I find both his insights and that of his guests very interesting and often cases quite helpful. I was due for a show that shakes up my listening routine a bit!

Interesting
This is the first time I’ve listened to a podcast about Stoicism. It’s interesting and thoroughly enjoyed the interview with Ranjay.

Great Podcast!
Philosophy can be a c complex subject which is why I find Tanner’s approach of making short and concise episodes highly beneficial. A great podcast for beginners or even advanced students of philosophy.

Enjoyable listening
Stumbling upon this podcast, was exactly what I needed. As a newcomer to Stoicism, Tanners conveyance of key ideas in an accessible manner has encouraged me to further explore and practice this philosophy. Also, the intro tune is great, who wrote it?

I’m invested.
I came here a week ago. This is my first encounter with stoicism. I am all caught up on episodes, having listened to several episodes multiple times. This a very realistic take and introduction to stoicism. I plan to re-listen and take more notes and I have have some books to pick up and read from this podcast. Also, I’m one of the ten percent of women who listen here. ☺️

Well crafted and diverse
Within a very complex subject, Tanner doesn’t necessarily oversimplify it - but rather shines a light on smaller components so we can practically apply it to our lives. It also has enough variance with interviews, well-crafted solo episodes and formats to keep it interesting daily if you’d like.

Interesting!
I didn’t know anything about stoicism before listening to this podcast, but Tanner does a great job of explaining complex topics in a digestible way. I learned a lot!

Great intro to a heavy topic
I am familiar with stoicism on a basic level and I think this podcast does a great job of breaking down why did actually is and how to actually live by the tenants of stoicism. A great listen if you want to incorporate that philosophy into your life.

Stoicism

Tanner does a great job unpacking various ideas found in Stoicism. I really like how he goes well beyond surface level to create impactful perspectives on how to show up more powerfullly.

Stoicism is complex but this podcast gives it to you in digestible chunks. I really appreciate how accessible it makes this school of thought and philosophy.

Solid Stoic nuggets
Solid Stoicism podcast. Lots of practical nuggets to apply to my personal life.

Podcaster to Philosopher
I found Tanner via his podcasting pod a few months ago and I’m so glad to have added Practical Stoicism to my feed. I like how Tanner breaks down complex ideas into practical advice for being a better human. I’m new to stoicism but I’m excited to learn more. I think this pod might be a great way for anyone to take a dip in the stoicism pool.

Thank you!
I stumbled upon this podcast and found it quite interesting! I enjoyed the recent episode asking women about stoicism and our interest in it. I appreciate how our opinion was taken into account and I found that I came away with a lot of info after this episode and a new podcast to add to my list. Thank you! :)

A great podcast
A great podcast for those curious about stoicism

Interesting, practical, but awful adverts
Really interesting show with a good aim at heart. The host presents well, and a nice structure with a mix of meditation, and breakdowns, which are shorter, and longer ones. However the ads are a bit off - one pedalled a podcast spreading bizarre conspiracy theories (bases on the dark side of the moon), the other ad was a robotic voiced business solutions drone. I’d advise doing something to control what ads are attached to your show
