Show overview
The Soloist has been publishing since 2017, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 9 episodes. That works out to roughly 5 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 30 min and 38 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Arts show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Steve Greer.
