Historically accurate, but with imperfect details
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 quoted (Eg. Tony Visconti, Iggy Pop, Bowie himself) could have been used instead of being read out by the narrator. Maybe this is a copyright issue - which no doubt is the reason why Bowie’s actual music isn’t played here either. An annoying detail in the ‘Thin White Duke’ episode: the lack of an attempt at German pronunciation on phrases related to Bowie’s time in Berlin, like “die brücke” or “kosmiche musik”. Just typing and playing words in Google Translate would have given this podcast’s creators the necessary guidance, and would add some authenticity to the proceedings.
