“As a music fan, it’s difficult to listen to a music podcast that does not showcase the music in conjunction with the artist’s development and song, album, and era stories. I know there are licensing issues but several shows at least get the rights for 30 second clips that add so much to the story...”Read full review »

I appreciate the bonus episodes with interviews with real people from David’s life. It’s amazing so many of them are still around to provide their side of...”Read full review »

“The writing is cliche and the host sounds as if he’s reading a Wikipedia entry on Bowie - probably is.”

“I’m enjoying Off The Record: David Bowie so far, and it does a good and accurate job of capturing the chronology of events in Bowie’s biography (as have been conveyed in other Bowie texts and sources).
Though it would have been good if audio recordings of interviews of some of the principals...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to this podcast series for the past week, immersing myself into Bowie’s journey, so far I’m only at the early Ziggy period but I am so hooked, enjoying every single minute of each episode!
The storyline really goes in depth into this modern genius’s psyche, covering his family...”Read full review »

“One of my new favorite podcast finds-well narrated, detailed and addicting. However, the lengthy advertisement breaks really interrupt the flow of the show. Respectfully requesting a reduction in the ads, to that of most other shows, and I would love to be a Patreon subscriber or whatever.”

“Riveting and addictive. Jordan is an incredible researcher... and master storyteller. Each episode is a gem in and of itself. I was completely engrossed from beginning to end and am blown away by quality of this podcast.
Already chomping at the bit to hear Jordan’s next musical biography.”

“Thank you Jordan for the series - exactly the right balance between fact, opinion and first hand testimony which confirms Bowie’s legendary status whilst leaving it to the listener to make up her own mind. Empathic, charismatic presentation too. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼”

“Some great stuff in here about the life an times of Bowie. But dude you need to fix your pronunciation of the German “ie” and “ei”. The first letter is silent and the sound made is the second letter. So “Die” is pronounced “dee” and “drei” is “dri”.”

“This is extremely well researched and provides a wealth of fascinating info about the great who was Bowie. The only downside is that they apparently couldn’t get or afford the music. It is most unfortunate to hear about how a song came about without being able to hear the song!”

“I’m a Bowie fanatic. The podcast is one for the history books as of course is David Bowie. Jordan’s voice keeps the listener engaged. The vivid descriptions from the Thin White Duke era were captivating. For an artist who continuously morphed, this podcast never gets dull. Thanks for the enjoyment!”

“This podcast is great, I’m too young to have followed Bowie’s career, so for me there is this whole bunch of music without context.

“Like how Bowie was a child rapist and never apologized for it? If you can find his atonement for being a typical white male musician sexual predator then that would be the whole story. We must stop this cycle of abuse and not let sleeping dogs lie.”
