While many other Stoicism podcasts focus on explaining Ancient Stoicism in an academic or historical context, Practical Stoicism s... more

  • Holy ads Batman

    It’s been said before: good content but on the current episode I’m hearing from 2023 there were 5.5 minutes of ads and promotional preamble, 1.5 min of content, then another ad break. Yes, I can and do fast forward but this ratio has me looking elsewhere.

  • Interesting and useful

    I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of months now. I have scrolled back to much earlier episodes and also listened to the recent ones. I guess I have listened to about 100ish episodes. I am interested in Stoicism for the intellectual side of it, but more so for the practical usefulness of the ideas in it . Tanner is awesome. He explains it clearly in a modern context. Little anecdotes and analogies that are great ways to remember ideas. He speaks well. He has a great voice. I f... more

  • Is this On Purpose?

    Half of the feed is On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Those episodes fall off the feed after a week or so, so it doesn’t look like this is true. But this podcast drops once a week, and the network inserts one episode of Jay Shetty. Because… Stoicism? Who knows. The actual content of this pod is robust and grounded in deep research of this philosophy and a clear desire to inform. The practicality of the content varies, and the focus of the material shifts dramatically every six months or so. If you lik... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Practical Stoicism Needs Your Input
Q: Can you define the dichotomy of control?
It's the idea that there's only three things we can control: our thoughts, our actions, and our attitude.
The Stoic Blot [with Jason Pack]
Q: What is the concept of 'enduring disorder' that you speak about?
It refers to a historic period marked by disorderly governance and decisions that aren't in states' interests, starting around 2011 with the Arab Spring.
The Stoic Blot [with Jason Pack]
Q: What is your perspective on advising clients in high-risk environments like Libya?
Advise cautiously and courageously, recognizing the reality of risks while also identifying opportunities for safe engagement.
The Stoic Blot [with Jason Pack]
Q: How do you keep your attention on only the things you can control in Backgammon?
Focus on the current decision-making without being affected by past mistakes or luck, akin to how NFL quarterbacks have short memories.
Phi Curious [with Massimo Pigliucci]
Q: What convinced you that a plural mix and match approach fits human nature better than a single school approach?
Massimo explains that since different philosophers have varying perspectives and since Stoicism itself was originally syncretic, it's sensible to accept multiple philosophies that may better suit different individuals' needs.
