The Mango Times

The Mango Times Podcast is where midlife curiosity meets adventure, humor, and human stories. Hosted by Fletch, the show features thoughtful conversations, great banter, and stories from the porch to the open road.

In Season 6, each episode explores what it looks like to wake up in the second half of life and decide there’s still plenty of adventure left...through interviews, personal reflections, recurring segments, and a little bit of well-earned shtick.

New episodes drop every other week and stay under 30 minutes. Pull up a chair, ride along, and join the conversation.

In this episode, Fletch takes you along on his solo motorcycle ride to Montana — the first leg of The Second Half Ride. From Modesto through mountain passes and high desert to Big Sky country, this ride was more than miles; it was a search for clarity, adventure, and what it means to step into the second half of life. Buckle up (or helmet on) for stories from the saddle, reflections on adventure, and a few bug-splattered truths from the road.
