In 2015 and 2018, I made a series of podcasts discussing Cicero’s Stoic Paradoxes and On Moral Ends. In response to continuing interest and questions, I thought it would be useful to provide all the links to these lectures in one place. Having all of them consolidated can be a real convenience, and I want to do everything I can to assist students and general readers. The most benefit can be gained from these podcasts if listeners also have the texts of my translations of these works.
