Caleb pushes back.
This solo episode uses the viral debate as a launching pad for what the Stoics actually think about self-examination.

Michael picks up the New Testament for the first time and does something unusual: he treats Jesus not as a religious figure, but as a philosopher. A contemporary of the Stoics and Epicureans, teaching in the same era, competing for the same minds. Th... more

Presented with depth and clarity. Very insightful, highly recommended!
I heard some of the best insights aobut Stoicism in these podcast episodes.

If you’re interested in Stoicism, give these guys a c... more
Indispensable; the best audio form content for this philosophy that I’ve yet come across.

The interview episodes have been excellent with the hosts asking truly interesting questions tha... more
It is clear the hosts are well prepared and have a reasoned and thoughtful approach to each episode. This is stoicism presented on an intellectual level where many similar podcasts lean too much into the emotional masculinity appeal. A great podcast!
I’m New here I hope you keep these episodes coming
