Themes and summary (AI-generated based on podcaster-provided show and episode descriptions):

The podcast "Practical Stoicism," hosted by Tanner Campbell, centers on applying the ancient philosophy of Stoicism to contemporary life. The show aims to translate the wisdom of this 2300-plus-year-old Greek philosophy into practical advice relevant to today's challenges. Episodes frequently draw inspiration from Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations," exploring themes such as perception, reality, time, and mortality.

Throughout the episodes, Campbell examines how Stoic principles, such as virtue, rationality, and personal responsibility, can help listeners navigate everyday challenges—including managing emotions like anger, coping with heartbreak, and overcoming procrastination. The host often emphasizes the importance of focusing on what is within our control, aligning actions with virtue rather than external outcomes.

Topics covered include the role of perception in framing reality, the balance between individuality and familial obligations, and the relationship between physical health and moral reasoning. The podcast also delves into philosophical concepts like the Stoic Dichotomy of Control, the idea of virtue being its own reward, and navigating life's pressures through moral clarity.

In addition to philosophical discussions, the podcast addresses practical concerns such as job hunting, health, and societal expectations. Campbell frequently contextualizes Stoic teachings with modern scenarios, offering Stoic insights into various real-life challenges faced by individuals today.

Overall, "Practical Stoicism" seeks to provide listeners with actionable Stoic guidance for leading a more virtuous and fulfilling life, engaging with both ancient texts and contemporary issues through a Stoic lens.
