The Seneca Podcast

June 7, 2020 By Ben McEvoy

Today we’re looking at the eighty-eighth letter from Seneca’s Letters from a Stoic. 

This is a shorter-form episode. I’m experimenting with content under 10 minutes long. Let me know what you think. I’ll likely turn this into its own long-running series, and we’ll deal with a different aspect from Seneca’s letters every now and then.

Today we’re focusing on Seneca’s thoughts on education, tying Tolstoy in with him. Enjoy!

  • This is the edition of Seneca’s Letters from a Stoic that I personally like.

Listen to Hardcore Literature: Letters from a Stoic: Seneca Pt.1

While you’re here, please help me out by doing one of a few things:

  • Let me know what you think of the content. 
  • Let me know what content you’d like to see next.
  • If you have 5 seconds, please leave a review on iTunes.

This stuff will help me know whether I’m on the right track. Every time someone emails me with a positive comment, I get renewed energy and motivation knowing that, despite things being early days, I’m on the right path. I’m doing this because it’s the kind of Socratic-dialogue-type educational content I’d like to see in the world. Hopefully others get something out of it.
