Jose Mangin - Ep021

Sirius XM host and "metal entrepreneur" Jose Mangin sits down
with Scott this week to discuss his life's journey as a metal
fan. Going back to his discovery of Motley Crue in kindergarten,
Jose has been on a lifelong metal journey.


In this conversation, Jose discusses his metal roots including an
early concert experience seeing Iron Maiden and Anthrax in
Arizona. From there he became the "metal influencer" of his group
of peers. This would lead him to college radio at the University
of Arizona. From there, he wound up in Memphis as a graduate
student and deejay on a commercial station. 


Jose then describes the steps and circumstances that led him to
New York and, ultimately, a job on satellite radio. His tenure at
Sirius began in 2000; basically the beginning of satellite radio.
In this conversation, Jose reflects on the early struggles with
the company and how things shifted dramatically with the arrival
of Howard Stern to the medium. He also discusses the channels for
that station that he's run including Ozzy's Boneyard, Liquid
Metal/Hard Attack, and Octane among others. 


Other cool topics include Jose introducing legendary bands such
as Metallica, bringing people together, dealing with haters, and
much more!
