The topic of impressions is central to the two podcast episodes provided, with each taking a different approach to the concept.

In the Animal Noises episode of the Distractible podcast, the hosts focus on making impressions of various animal sounds, highlighting the role of vocal mimicry and impersonation in shaping perceptions.

Conversely, the How To Be Free | Epictetus episode of The Daily Stoic discusses the Stoic philosophy of correctly using one's ability to reflect on impressions, rather than merely reacting to them, as a means of attaining personal freedom.
