Two friends have had a book club for a very very long time. It was mostly an excuse to drink and gossip. In January of 2016, they found renewed purpose in their sadness over the death of David Bowie. They decided to stop mucking around and actually get some reading done - from the list of books that he loved.

  • My favorite podcast

    I’ve been listening for years, due to being a Bowie fanboy since college. After following the podcast, I’m a fanboy of Kristianne and Greg. I love Kristianne’s voice and laugh. And I love that Greg makes Kristianne laugh with his sense of humor. I hope Kristianne does audio books so I can hear her voice even more, and I hope they continue for many years with podcasts beyond Bowie’s 100 book list.

  • Shouldn’t be associated with David Bowie

    I was drawn to this podcast thinking that it might in someway reflect the artist, I was wrong. After listening for a couple of episodes it was hearing these 2 attempting to dissect On The Road by Jack Kerouac I had to make it my stopping point.

    Giving it a 2 star rating because of the podcasts concept and possibilities.
