0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Musician, martian, performer, transformer, seductive, to struggle. There are many

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>words that come to mind when you think of David Bowie.

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But who was he? Well, that depends on who you

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>ask or which record you're playing. To some he ziggy stardust,

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 1>to others the thin white Duke or a Ladin Saying

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>or Major Tom. But who is David Bowie real? To

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>answer that question, we'll have to go off the record.

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>My name is Jordan runt Tog and I'm the host

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of Off the Record, a new music biography podcast for

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>my Heart Radio. Off the Record goes beyond the songs

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and into the hearts and minds of rock's greatest legends.

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Every season profiles one classic artist, taking listeners on a

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>wild ride through their extraordinary career. We'll examine their public

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>triumphs and private turmoil, the moments that made them and

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the music that made them stars. The first season examines

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the life, or rather lives, of David Bowie. Each episode

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>of the eleven part audio event tells the story of

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one of his iconic personas. Together, these faces form an

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>intimate portrait of one of the twentieth centuries most influential figures.

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>There's Little David Jones, the shy boy haunted by the

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>pain of a troubled home life and a dark family secret.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>Then there's Major Tom, the avant garde space hippie struggling

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 1>to make his musical mark on the psychedelic scene of

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>swinging sixties London. Of course, there's Ziggy Stardust, the persona

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>that rocketed David from small town pubs to the world's

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>biggest arenas in just a few short months. To cope

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>with a sudden rush of fame, David fortified himself with

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>drugs and a new character, the icy thin White Duke.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Cocaine drove him the craft, the sound, and vision in

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>his mind, but it also drove him towards the brink

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of madness, fade he'd always feared was his destiny. But

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the fates had another destiny in store, one more thrilling

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>than he could ever imagine. So who was David Bowie

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.079

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.800
