The podcast where a lifelong David Bowie fanatic and a converted skeptic take a marital tour through the sprawling universe of the Starman himself. And after years of repeat listening for him…and a growing curiosity from me, we are going to share our kitchen table debates. Every fortnight, we are going to explore different aspects of the life and art of Bowie.  But fair warning: we love a good tangent and never miss a rabbit hole. Hosted on Acast.
