The Via Stoica Podcast is a stoicism show with a simple promise: a stoic way of life, episode after episode. Long-form conversations, a solo host, and a back catalogue that now passes 100 published episodes across YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

What the work involves
- Consistency over a long run. A show past 100 episodes is judged against its own back catalogue — every new episode has to sound and cut like the ones viewers already trust.
- Both formats from one timeline. The video cut carries the episode on YouTube; the audio pass carries it on Spotify and Apple, mastered to -16 LUFS for podcast platforms and -14 LUFS for YouTube.
- Advice beyond the edit. Microphones, room treatment and recording technique are part of the conversation, because the cleanest edit still starts with a decent source.
- Async, repeatable workflow. Files in, cut out, timestamped notes back — no standing calls, no re-briefing every episode.
In the host’s words
“I've been working with Alex for over three years now and having him as my editor for the podcast has been the main reason I have managed to record and publish over 100 episodes on my podcast. He has not only been excellent at the editing work, audio and video, but he has also advised my team and me about equipment and how to record better. I highly recommend him.”
Benny — Host, The Via Stoica Podcast
