The Daily Stoic

Ryan Holiday took the ancient wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus and turned it into a daily podcast that over 4,700 Apple Podcasts reviewers have rated. Each weekday episode runs about 2-3 minutes and delivers the audio version of Holiday's popular Daily Stoic email meditations -- short, punchy reflections on Stoic principles applied to modern life. The brevity is deliberate. Holiday does not ramble or pad episodes with filler. He picks a concept, connects it to something happening in the real world, and wraps it up before you finish your coffee. Beyond the daily meditations, the show also features longer-form Q&A sessions with listeners and interviews with figures from sports, politics, and academia. Holiday is a number-one New York Times bestselling author, and his background in practical philosophy shows in how precisely he chooses his words. The show has been running since 2018 and has accumulated over 2,000 episodes. For anyone interested in how centuries-old quotes about discipline, resilience, and perspective apply right now, this podcast delivers that connection every single morning.
