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!
