Listener Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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!!

Very informal👍🏼

This is a great introduction in an accessible way for those new to Stoicism and its ideas.

Very intuitive, very interesting. Truly introduced me to a new view on conversations and ideals in my life

The episodes are really easy to listen too and love this new way of looking at life

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love how Tanner breaks down these topics and ideas in bite sized easy to digest episodes. Great pod!

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

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