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

A Great Resource!!!!
As someone who’s been dipping his toe into stoicism the last year, I appreciate Tanners succinct and practical breakdown of the lessons. Having real world examples helps us to notice how we can apply this stuff in our daily lives rather than just reading it.

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.
