We're back In the Smokeshop with Pop!

In Part 2, Pop picks up where we left off—but this time, he also takes time to answer a few questions from you, the listeners. Ever wondered how he feels about his career, the big choices he’s made in life, or what he’d pick for his last meal? He lays it all out with that signature blend of wisdom and wit that only a 95-year-old Italian father can deliver.

In this episode we get into:

The legacy of his career

A discussion about accomplishments and regrets.

A quick fire round of questions

A personal response to your questions. 

Plus, Fletch takes a brief cultural moment to share what he’s been watching, reading, and listening to these days—a few recommendations from the desk of theMangoTimes editor.

It’s a packed show full of story, reflection, and connection. Pour a cup of coffee, light up a pipe, and join us for another fun visit to Pop’s Smokeshop.
