Dan Mangan on Modern Masculinity, Raising Boys, and Why Bullies Win | EP068

from Bothered · host Bothered

Get ready to be BOTHERED as Julie Kim sits down with Dan Mangan for a funny, thoughtful, and surprisingly heated conversation about fragile masculinity, fake alpha energy, bullies winning, raising better boys, and the strange way art can say the things people are too afraid to say out loud. Dan is a two time JUNO Award winning singer songwriter, composer, and performer from Vancouver, known for his emotionally powerful songwriting, sharp lyricism, and beloved live shows. In this episode, Julie and Dan get into the manosphere, modern masculinity, parenting, audience behaviour at concerts, and why some people are so desperate to look strong while acting deeply fragile.
