OK - we are now scarily close to the end of the Alphabet…and with it the end of our definitive Podcast journey through the work, life, times, friends and enemies of David Bowie. In this episode we tackle 2 letters! Damn we’re good. Y = Young Americans, David’s fearless foray into that thorny genre known as 'Blue Eyed Soul'. Of course it is a complete masterpiece. We also take a quick look at a man who could legitimately have turned up under the letter J (for Joe) or D (for Duncan). As it stands we opted for Z (for Zowie), David’s uber-talented son.

The hero of this Episode started off as a Rat and eventually found himself a Spider! We’re talking about the irrepressible Michael or ‘Mick’ or ‘Woody’ Woodmansey. From almost becoming a Spectacle expert in Driffield Yorkshire - he ended up as a Rock n Roll spectacle as the drummer in the hottest band in the world circa 1973. These days he is Holier than Thou...alongside his old mucker Tony Visconti in the band Holy Holy. We love Woody. If you don’t already you will by the time you’ve finished listening to this!

In this Episode Pinky and Perky (that’s Bob and Marc to you) dig deep into the Underground. The Velvet Underground. Only to discover the whimsical David Bowie currently ensconced in the world of the Laughing Gnome had gone ‘rogue’ with his Lou Reed inspired alter-ego! Here we see David as an unsure bohemian artist heading up the slightly bewildered Riot Squad outfit. It wouldn’t last. His friendship with Lou Reed however…would.

In this ever so slightly ‘fruity’ episode of the A TO Z OF DAVID BOWIE Rob and Marc get all hot and bothered whilst encounter the career of Bowie 70’s PR lady Cherry Vanilla. Her tales of nudity and pleasures of the flesh might be a little shocking to the faint of heart so please tread carefully! Much more innocent tho are the tales of Laughing Gnome producer Mike Vernon! And to put this episode to bed our two ‘nosey-neighbours’ take a brutal swipe at the debacle that was Velvet Goldmine (film) and applaud the source of its ‘inspiration' - Velvet Goldmine (song).

In this latest chapter looking at all things Bowie (and related) Marc Riley and Rob Hughes sink to new depths courtesy of 'Woody Woodmansey’s U-Boat', and as unlikely as it seems they get a bit Benny Hill in the company of Salvador Dali, they get cosmic whilst scanning the skies for UFO’s…and then take swift look at David’s 'Uncle Arthur'…a Song not a Relative.

This episode of our definitive David Bowie podcast sees Rob and Marc steer their way through a turbulent - but ultimately successful - stage in David’s career. It might not have been everyone’s idea of a winner, but it seemingly helped Bowie steady his ship and freed him up to go on to bigger and (in our opinion) better things. Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. Ladies and Gentlemen - TIN MACHINE. All 71 episodes of this Podcast are now available to buy on a branded USB stick in a branded tin box.

In this Episode our bumbling ‘heroes’ excavate two very different Bowie artefacts. First up and album that (arguably) no-one wants to hear (that’ll be Tonight then) sitting uncomfortably next to an album that David’s record company didn’t want you to hear! That’ll be Toy then!
