#214 - Choosing America: A Life Built on the American Dream (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At 25, Simone Vitale left Sicily for a job opportunity in America. Twenty-six years later, he has spent more than half his life here, built a career and family, and become an American citizen. In this episode, Simone shares what America looked like from Italy, what surprised him when he arrived, and why he believes the American Dream is still alive—but is often misunderstood. Opportunity, he says, isn't a gift. America gives you the freedom to pursue the life you want; what happens next is up to
#213 Mitch Wonders: The Smart Home vs The Simple Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Technology makes life easier. That's the pitch. Until, maybe, it starts making a few too many decisions for us. Mitch's good pal from Australia , Gavin, returns to Mitch Wonders for a conversation about smart homes, AI assistants, convenience creep, and the little habits we've adopted without ever really deciding to.

In this solo episode, Mitch goes solo to explore the often-overlooked "Generation Jones"—those born between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. From riding bikes until dark and fixing what broke to growing up through Watergate, inflation, and the dawn of the digital age, this episode looks at the unique experiences that shaped a generation that quietly bridged two very different Americas. Whether you call it Generation
#210 Supersonic Dreams: The Business of the Impossible (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Mitch welcomes The Professor back to the porch to ask a simple question: Why did commercial aviation stop getting faster? From the rise and fall of Concorde to the new Boom Supersonic's attempt to cut flight times in half, we explore whether technology, economics, or regulation has been holding us back. Innovation versus optimization, the role of capitalism in bringing breakthrough ideas to everyday people, and why history is so often written by those willing to risk building what eve
