    Thank you Petey for your beautiful Sumac episode. There’s plenty of tear stains on my recipe.

  • Best southern AZ native plant and storytelling podcast

    I have been listening to Peter for 30 years and he has been like a bard of the sonoran desert. Singing songs and telling stories of wandering in the desert being curious and enchanted by the natural world. It is the best, highest recommended podcast ever for me.
