  • I wanted to like this but…

    I gave this show a couple of chances but ultimately unsubscribed after the most recent episode. The conversation really did not seem to have much to do with either existentialism or stoicism. It sounded instead like two 15 year old edge lords, saying things like “There’s no such thing as truth”, and “All authority is bad”.

  • Just listen to it!

    This is like listening to two old friends who are very knowledgeable about philosophy and can make it relevant to the real world as well as your life. This isn’t “staunch” academia, and hard dry language, but a fun and easy to digest way of learning about stoicism and existentialism. Feels like hanging out with two of your best (very well scholar Ed but down to earth) buddies and finding new ways to appreciate the “cards you have been given”. Listen to them all! Good learning in here. Well done ... more

  • Positively Life Altering

    Thank you guys for helping me get my life back on track. I decided to deep dive existentialism a few months ago to help me get through my own life issues. In the process I have discovered this podcast, which also introduced me to stoicism. While I am still a work in progress, the amount of headway I’ve made in the right direction is because of Danny and Randy. With their teachings, I’m now doing things to make me happy and relying on myself to make what to make happen to actually come true! ... more
