Spoiler alert: I failed.  

Welcome to Be My (Bowie) Wife, the podcast where a lifelong fanatic and a converted skeptic take a marital tour through the sprawling universe of the Starman himself.

And after years of repeat listening for him…and a growing curiosity from me, we are going to share our kitchen table debates.

Every week, we are going to explore different aspects of the life and art of Bowie. 

But fair warning: we love a good tangent and never miss a rabbit hole.

Subscribe right now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. Join us for Be My (Bowie) Wife—our first official episodes drop very soon!

So put on your red shoes... and we will upload on Tuesday … well we might just stretch it to Wednesday ...
