Episode 79 - Mike Mangione

Mike Mangione is a pretty interesting guy. The namesake and
bandleader of Mike Mangione & The Union and Marquette alumnus
moved to Los Angeles with his sights set on making it in the
music business until he piled his life into a van and spent years
touring all corners of the country (and beyond). Eventually, the
folk musician wound up back in Milwaukee, where he's started a
family. Though his life has settled down a bit, Mangione still
hits the road with some regularity, and along the way, the
musician/father/philosopher found time to add "podcast host" to
his repertoire.


Mangione and host Tyler Maas met—like, literally met for the
first time—at Milwaukee Record headquarters and engaged in a
winding conversation about the music industry, perseverance,
faith, and (for some reason) Rockford, Illinois. After an
inspiring hour of conversation, the singer-songwriter discussed
his "Time & The Mystery" podcast, which boasts professional
musicians, Major League Baseball players, prominent religious
leaders, and (soon) Jim Gaffigan on its rundown of guests.
