About the show

Artists will do anything for exposure, but you can die of exposure. Dying of Exposure is long-form artist-to-artist interviews with prominent actors, musicians & writers, discussing their storied careers and, more generally, the role of artists in society. Within each episode, Dan and his guest listen to a song from an under-appreciated band. He also has a tendency to unearth buried work from the guest's early days. The podcast focuses on quality over quantity, typically releasing on the first Friday of each month. Dan Mangan is a 2x JUNO Award-winning and 3x Polaris Music Prize-nominated musician and songwriter. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia with his wife and two sons. For decades, Dan has brought signature wit, sonic innovation and lyrical insight to the indie/folk community, garnering him a fiercely dedicated and deeply involved audience. He has played Glastonbury & Jimmy Kimmel Live, sold out Massey Hall and scored acclaimed soundtracks for television and feature film. His 7th studio album Natural Light was recorded in six days by four best buds in a cabin by a lake.
