“Big fan of Marc and Rob from Radio 6. Wasn’t always the biggest fan of David Bowie - I liked him and bought his music(!!!) but this podcast has been a pleasure to listen to. It’s packed with data!!”

“I can and do listen to these A-Z episodes over and over they are so dense with essential Bowie trivia. In a small way it helps keep him alive in my memory.
I have been a Huge Bowie fan since the tail end of Ziggy in 1973 with the receipt of Pinups for Christmas and Diamond Dogs for high school...”Read full review »

““What is it about Bowie? We obviously love his music. It’s because he’s such and interesting and interested person.”
I’m bummed it’s over, it’s been something I look forward to every week for the past year! I guess I’ll just start it over again.”

It may be a bit of a ramble, but it's great fun with loads of interesting Bowie facts & opinions.
Well done Marc & Rob, & thank you for the hours of entertainment.”Read full review »

“The level of detail and love that is brought to each episode is absolutely great and as a big Bowie fan who has read a lot of books on the great man, I’m still learning new little factoids every week from this. That level of love is only matched by Riley’s regard for Riley! He’s always bringing...”Read full review »

I have learned so much about Bowie but also just great stuff about the music world in the 1960's and 70's. I...”Read full review »

“How in the world can Marc Riley and Rob Hughes cover everything David Bowie and never play a single solitary song of his? Amazingly enough, they can, which I imagine saves them a ton in royalties.
I don’t know how this podcast would come off to someone who knows very little about the man, but...”Read full review »

“Marc and Rob are clearly huge fans and know their stuff but that alone doesn’t make for an interesting show. They keep it light and upbeat and are not afraid to admit when Bowie did something less than wonderful. The “A to Z” format avoids the usual chronological approach to biography and keeps...”Read full review »
