Why Everyone's Gotta Listen to "Probably True Solar Stories"

In the last episode, “Murder by Solar Drone,” in “Probably True Solar Stories,” Tor “Solar Fred” Valenza is at his absolutely fascinating, creative best. There is always hilarity in the podcast series. Tor makes us laugh, feel good, feel worried and gets us emotionally involved in his solar story (which in this latter case is “Alfred Hitchcock-ian"}.

Revel in “the Solar Heist” and “Max the dog and Max the man.” Find yourself appreciating Solar Fred "scolding" elderly Barbara who insists on “going solar” when she shouldn’t. And enjoy some episodes that are downright maudlin. I mean, the dilemma of the idealistic daughter of a father whose fortune was built on an industry that’s destroying our planet? Come on! … But hey, aren’t such dilemmas extremely relevant? When the heck are we going to wake up and stop “crying maudlin” and confront our neighbors with the Truth?!

Along with much information in the podcasts about the solar industry, also so helpful are the “True Solar Takeaways” in Tor’s “Episode Notes.” Try reading the Takeaways. There’s a WHOLE LOT to the podcasts than meets the ear.

If you haven’t, LISTEN to “Bob, the Dog and Solar Vineyard” and “A Declaration of … Solar Independence Day”! There isn’t always a “Hallmark happy ending.” But you won’t forget what Solar Fred is all about: Enlightening us to save the planet, with humor and emotion that win us over.
