Send Fletch a text!

After kicking off my return to podcasting with Episode 27—where I sat down with my son-in-law Roy Mendiola and talked about doing what you love and doing it often—I couldn’t be more excited for this next episode. Because this time, I’m sitting down with a guy who’s been around long enough to have some serious street cred… if the street was a dirt road in the 1930s.

That’s right, in Episode 28 of theMangoTimes, I’m sitting down with my 94-year-old father to talk about life in the ‘30s and ‘40s. And let me tell you—this man isn’t just my dad; he’s a walking history book with a side of sarcasm and a lifetime of wisdom. If you’ve ever wanted to hear firsthand what it was like to grow up during the Great Depression, navigate a world without WiFi, or hear why he thinks kids today have it too easy, you’re in for a treat.

To make it even better, I bought some portable microphones, grabbed my pipe, and set up shop in his smoke shop (because, let’s be honest, where else would this conversation happen?). What followed was a goldmine of stories, laughs, and classic PopPop-isms that I can’t wait for you to hear.

And here’s the best part—this isn’t a one-time deal! This is just the kick-off. The palate cleanser, if you will. My dad will be back for more episodes, and you can be a part of it. Head over to theMangoTimes.com and hit that Let’s Connect button. Got a burning question for Pop? Want to hear his take on life, love, or why people used to walk uphill both ways in the snow? Leave a written comment or send in an audio message, and I’ll make sure he answers it in a future episode.

So grab your headphones, light up your pipe (if that’s your thing), and get ready for some old-school storytelling with a guy who’s seen it all.

Welcome to In the Smoke Shop with Pop—this is gonna be fun.
