Listener Reviews

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.
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

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! 👏👏
