Listener Reviews

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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 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. ☺️

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.

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!

This podcast does a fantastic job at Explaining the complex ideas from stoicism. It’s release schedule is also impressive

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.

I stumbled across this podcast and I have to say I really appreciate how much care he puts into providing content for the audience! Thought provoking podcast

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

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.

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 for those curious about stoicism

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

This philosophy podcast openly invites dialogue and understanding of what is a stoic lifestyle and how does one live one. Tanner is clear that he is not a medical practitioner or a licensed therapist as he shares his opinions and insights on stoicism. I particularly like his distinction and clarification that weaves throughout episodes that stoicism is not apathy. This is a great forum into understanding stoicism and Tanner also invites you to email and connect with him directly in a variety of ways.

If you’re not ready for introspection and deep thinking, this podcast will get you started. This podcast will lead you do the road of high level thinking. Enjoy.

I love stocism as I understand it, but I have never done any real study. This show makes it understandable and having someone to guide you and answer questions in a new study is incredible. I love that is broken down into bite size pieces. So glad to have found this podcast!

Great show design. Good sound. Well prepared and loved his taking on the inaccurate popularity view of Stoicism. It’s quite a fad but a pale comparison to actual Stoicism. Glad to hear he is taking this on in the interest of accuracy. Good job!

I’m a woman listener and I appreciate that he asked for a survey of why I listen. I completed the survey but also wanted to express that all humans can benefit from words from the Stoics. Whether you feel you can put into practice the recommendations or not, even gleaning a small amount of ideas from them will help. If you practice some of the philosophies as if they were true, often they may become true and part of your nature later. I found this to be true for me. I’m 60 years old now and I can look back and see how the wise guidance of the stoics has helped me through much tragedy in my life.
