About This Podcast

*Not* about Stoicism itself, but about running and being a part of local Stoic communities -- or "stoas", after the ancient Greek word for the porch colonnade in Athens where the original Stoics hung out and got wise together. Interviews with people who run stoas in cities around the world about what's worked and what hasn't worked in running their Stoic community. Also talking with experts on group facilitation, community building, and other topics relevant to stoa facilitators.
