Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Stoic. Each weekday we bring you a meditation inspired by the ancient Stoic, something that can help you live up to those four

0:22.0

Stoic virtues of courage, justice, wisdom, and temperance. And here on the weekend we take a deeper dive into those same topics. We interview Stoic philosophers, we reflect, we prepare, we think deeply about the challenging issues of our time. And we work through this philosophy in a way that's more possible here when we're not rushing to worker to get the kids to school.

We have the time to think, to go for a walk, to sit with our journals and to prepare for what the future will bring.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Syrte and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly true crime podcast. Every week on Redhanded we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

1:10.0

From the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

2:11.0

It started off promising.

2:14.0

Or is this all just about Elon?

2:17.0

He's essentially mad that his tweets aren't performing as well as he would expect them to.

2:24.0

But really just felt like, okay, this really is just a platform being ruled by a dictator who does things on his own limbs.

2:31.0

And what will be left of Twitter by the time he's done?

2:34.0

Basically my entire team was gone by the end of it. Infrastructure was just completely gutted. He'll like tweet a thing, and then everyone's like, we got a word on that now because he tweeted it.

2:43.0

I'm supposed to believe this man is a genius.

2:45.0

It just felt like everything was kind of descending into chaos.
