Welcome to the School for a New Stoicism’s podcast, Practical Wisdom, published on the Substack platform and available also on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google, and more. Practical Wisdom is a short (about 5′) weekly podcast (every Monday morning). The idea is to explore the philosophical writings of a wide range of Greco-Roman authors in search of insights that may be useful for modern life. Below is a sampler of recent free entries.
