  • Siracusa.

    The longer I listened to Mr Siracusa the more I realized he had little of substance to offer. Some people get to talk. Other have to act.

  • Podcast speed

    There is a problem with the speed of the podcasts. The speed is too fast and impossible to follow

    Can this be corrected?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

William O. Stephens, Scott Aikin & Matthew Sharpe | The Enchiridion of Epictetus
Q: What is the practibility problem in Stoicism?
The practibility problem challenges the assumption that Stoicism's dichotomy between what is up to us and what is not is entirely accurate, requiring indirect control over our desires and emotions.
William O. Stephens, Scott Aikin & Matthew Sharpe | The Enchiridion of Epictetus
Q: How should we read the Enchiridion today?
We intended this guide as an aid to teachers and students of Stoicism, highlighting the developmental nature of the text as well as its practical application today.
William O. Stephens, Scott Aikin & Matthew Sharpe | The Enchiridion of Epictetus
Q: What motivated you to write this book?
It was Scott's idea, originally aimed as a deep dive on the Enchiridion, focusing on providing a resource for teachers and students.
Rocco Jarman | Time for a Soul Reboot
Q: Can you elaborate for me a little bit this idea of the frontier of the strange?
It's where we encounter moments that challenge our understanding, encouraging us to abandon certainty and be open to deeper truths.
Rocco Jarman | When Your Fire Has Gone Out
Q: How do we reinvigorate ourselves?
