This could have been excellent BUT there are loads of mistakes and mispronunciations. Approach with caution and do not take seriously. You’re better off buying a biography or watching one of the many documentaries out there. Or even listening to another Bowie podcast such as The A-Z of Bowie with Marc Riley & Rob Hughes, or Fantastic Voyage or AlbumToAlbum. You’ll learn all the proper facts with those

United States6 years ago - Fantastic, well produced Bowie love!!!
I discovered this podcast on a whim early this morning, after a quick search for something new to listen to on my morning drive to work. I made it through one episode in the car, and had to immediately hear more. I wore my earbuds all morning and binged a few more episodes. This short series is GREAT!! I knew much of the info, but the presentation made it all appear new and oh so exciting. If you’re already a fan, or have just a passing interest, I can’t recommend this enough. I typically don’t... more

Year of the Bowie podcast is an excellent intro, refresher and all around epic true story of one of the greatest artists of our time - David Bowie. Each episode takes you on a fascinating journey of the legendary rise of Bowie... From his birth, unique influences, early struggles at fame, and iconic personas.
Episodes are thoroughly researched and feature actual songs and audio clips (many I've never heard before!) that paint a vivid picture of the surrounding culture of the time. I found the ... more
Apple Podcasts5lunarvisionUnited States9 years ago - Couldn't be happier
I'm a Bowie fan in her mid thirties. I found out about Bowie through Labyrinth and then Changesbowie. I have read a lot of biographies, been in all sorts of fan clubs, I won't list any more of my enthusiastic behavior and I allude to it only to qualify my opinion. This is one of the best Bowie info-ramas in any form. My only complaint is that it wasn't even longer!! I love the clips from interviews and the music made me smile every time. If I were narrating, I would have probably sounded giddy a... more

I've been on a big Bowie kick lately since it's coming up on the one-year anniversary of his death, and I came across this podcast on a search. I gave it a shot, and I'm so glad I did - this podcast was super informative and so interesting. It had a lot of really good information, some of which I never knew. The last episode was very stirring, and it left me wishing that the podcast had been longer. Very good work, and thank you so much for doing this.
Apple Podcasts5Somer B.United States9 years ago - Fantastic
Totally blown away by this podcast. In depth, funny, interesting. Music, clips from interviews, and references to specific performances have helped me to discover works by Bowie I had never before seen or heard. This has been an absolute delight to listen to and I am shocked it hasn't caught on or received more reviews. I am hopeful that there might be more Bowie podcasts that spawn from this after the narrator takes a break. Keep up the awesome work.
Apple Podcasts5AmandatexxasUnited States9 years ago - Amazing Podcast
Fascinating and well-researched podcast about a musician legend. Carefully produced and executed.
Apple Podcasts5alj021United States9 years ago - Very good - but check the script!
A good review of the life and inspirations of Bowie. Although we do learn that an early TV inspiration was something called "The Quartermass (sic) Experiment" and that he worked with a producer called Gus Dungeon. Oh well...
