Good show
It’s a well done show. I have read meditations but going through it again this way is insightful and keeps me on the path.

Excellent. Come on in.
Seems to be the Stoic discussion I’ve been looking for. Others I’ve tried are academic, intangible lectures. This one is…practical. I am a Stoic work in progress. This helps me stay in the path.

Love this podcast
I have listened to almost all of the episodes, and I love every single one of them. I love the length of the podcast, it makes it easy to replay if necessary to understand the point deeper. Tanner’s voice and his ability to explain the topic in an easy to understand manner is admirable. Keep the episodes coming!

Nice reflections on Stoicism.
Instructive and thoughtful.

Great Podcast
I’ve listened to several different podcasts and this is definitely one of my favorites. Episodes are a good length and right to the point, makes it easy to listen and then relisiten later. 👍👍

Right amount of Philosophy
The small bits of philosophy are enough for me to absorb and take in. The readings of Marcus Aurelius are educational and the discussions of them are enlightening. It is helping me on my path of self discovery

I’m very much enjoying it.
Reluctantly, I’ve really needed to change my thought process and how I interact with the world or handle those interactions. Stumbling upon this has given me a different perspective and have given me an interesting since of ease.

I’m enjoying it
I’ve always admired people who understood philosophy and this podcast seems like a really good way to begin this knowledge journey. They are short enough to where I don’t feel bored, but they are long enough to unravel some meaning. Thank you for this podcast, I am enjoying it very much!

Great podcast!
As a newbie to philosophy in general I am loving the simplicity and straight forward way this podcast is presented. The short episodes make them very easy to listen to as well. I love that I don’t have to have a masters degree to understand the points he is making. As someone going through major life changes I appreciate the ease the podcast gives me in an effort to be the best version of myself.

Like the episode
Like the length and content of episode. Would like to know: 1. Anything ppl rarely know about stoicism 2. Difference btw stoicism and Buddhism 3. How to understand a philologhy

Accessible
I find myself listening to these episodes over and over again. Tanner’s reading is clear and well paced. His interpretations are insightful and practical. Leaves my thoughtful about journey I’m on to be stoic.

Short but Thoughtful
This podcast is great for the simple fact that there is so much information in such a short amount of time. Episode two has given me a different perspective on how to handle a feud within my own family

I Was a Crooked Lawyer
Have followed other Stoic podcasts and preferred this. Straightforward, common sense and no selling. Keep it up.

Thoughtful Exploration of Stoicism; Definitely Worth a Listen!
I’m new to Stoicism and reviewing podcasts, but I think there’s so much wisdom in this one that it would be a disservice to others to not share. Each episode so far has been an easily digestible and approachable exploration of Stoic principles as well as how they may be applied to modern life. I’ve listened to each episode multiple times and look forward to more. Thank you, Tanner!

Just started listening
Great insight … helpful in a time of extreme events

Excellent
Worth your time

Great listen
One of the better podcasts I’ve listened to Recommend.

Best podcast on Stoicism
I’ve listened to several podcasts on Stoicism over the years since my introduction to the philosophy around 2015 through another notable podcaster and author (RH). However, the way that this podcast breaks down Stoic concepts and frames them to be able to applied to modern times is beautifully done. I also find the length to be perfect for multiple re-listens and appreciate not being interrupted by ads or sales pitches. Thank you and keep up the good work!

A great listen
Listened to first episode today and liked the brevity and quickness. Great work

Excellent, Inspiring Podcast
Highly recommend this podcast; relevant content excellently presented. The walk-through of the important points in “Meditations” is well constructed and expertly considered; very useful. Many of the explanations are quote worthy, as much so as the original text. For anyone interested in Stoicism this is an inspiring learning resource. Very much benefiting from the journey. (Yes, Stoics do enjoy podcasts).

Exceptional Resource
For those looking to learn more about stoicism, this is a great place to start and absolutely worth a listen.

Really enjoyed it.
I love the short concise aspect to this. It’s a great way to revisit the meditations for me.

A timely podcast!
I’m 26 and I am beginning to understand just how fleeting all of this is. Thank you for providing an outlet for that reminder. Great job! I’d like for you to appreciate yourself because in this moment you helped a stranger continue to try to get through a challenging time. As random feedback: podcasts like the daily stoic are the most popular but it’s inundated by business approaches and lost a bit of its practicality. I appreciate your approach to this. It feels more like a friend giving you a worthwhile reminder. I like it being organized by passages from meditations. I found the podcast simply by typing in stoicism on Apple.

Very understandable. EZ to connect with
There are a lot of stoic podcasts available they can be very informative. However many of them seem to editorialize from their interpretation. This series takes a meditation, and a very understandable way, explains the concept without letting personal bias seep in. I find this to be the best of the bunch.

Not pretentious at all I love it
I love this podcast so much. I love stoicism but I’m my opinion some of the other podcast can have an essence of pretentiousness. Which creates a little spark of resistance in me. But this one flows right though me and really is practical. I feel like I can effortlessly implement the suggestions in my day to day life. Love starting my day with this podcast. Can’t wait for more episodes!!

So helpful
Tanner breaks down each topic using plain language, making it easy to understand.

Finally! We need more podcasts like this!
This looks to be the best thing to come along since Stoicism on Fire. I like Tanner’s style and it is well produced. He is definitely well thought-out in his commentary and speaks with a clarity that makes it easy to follow. I’ll be following for sure…

Hope you get something out of this podcast
I certainly get a lot out of creating it.

Easy-to-follow stoic principles
Tanner makes learning about stoicism approachable and easy to understand. There have been other shows on stoicism that I've listened to, but many left me feeling as though the host was talking over me or trying to prove the level of his education. Tanner discusses the tenets of the stoics without coming off as presumptuous or self-righteous. Plus his episodes are easy to digest and put into practice.
