    Being a single guy, not interested in marriage, i was always looking for a safe space, a group of like minded people who share the same views as me, and from whom i could learn to accept myself. Then one day I stumbled upon the Solo podcast and i was ecstatic!

    Peter became that guide, guru and a friend whom i could look upto! He made me realise that i am not missing anything in life being a single person! And i am on path to become a Solo!

    Can’t thank Peter enough for starting this Podcast and a... more

  • Awesome podcast!

    I just discovered Solo late last year, and have been listening from the beginning. Peter is clever, articulate and has had some incredible guests on his pod. I have listened to 60+ episodes so far, and learn something new from each and every one. Bravo Peter - this is a podcast this solo listener never knew she needed!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Psychology of Solitude
Q: Do you two agree on a definition of solitude?
They acknowledge multiple valid definitions (physical separation, perceived separation, private vs public solitude, and companionship within solitude). The important part is clarifying exactly what each study aims to measure so comparisons are meaningful.
Masculinity and Manhood
Q: What would you tell your 18-year-old self about being a man?
It's okay to show vulnerability and talk about emotions. Don't feel lesser than for not aligning with societal expectations.
Meditations For (Single) Mortals
Q: What is one small thing that they can do today that will help them with their imperfectionism?
Identify something meaningful that you've been wanting to do and spend just ten minutes on it.
