Om Podcasten

The Practical Stoic is a podcast by Australian poet, musician, philosopher and founder Simon J. E. Drew. Originally started in 2017, The Practical Stoic Podcast became widely known as a valuable resource for those who were interested in finding practical, down-to-earth wisdom and easily-appliable explanations of the writings of ancient Stoics like Seneca the Younger, Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. In 2021, Simon changed the podcast name to "The Walled Garden" in order to make way for the founding of The Walled Garden Philosophical Society - a global community of philosophers and students dedicated to sharing the philosophical path together. Now, in 2023, Simon is revamping The Practical Stoic podcast with new insights, lessons, and interviews.
