Huw Stephens shares hosting duties with Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys, diving deep into the world of David Bowie.

Together, they explore Bowie’s lifelong commitment to reinvention—from Ziggy Stardust to the Berlin years and beyond—and how his fearless creativity reshaped the musical landscape. Neil reflects on Bowie’s profound influence on queer culture, celebrating the ways his fluid identities and boundary-breaking artistry opened doors for generations of LGBTQ+ listeners and performers.

With a spotlight on some of Bowie’s music from many different eras—how they reframed his songs, expanded his sonic palette and kept his music evolving—Huw and Neil share rare insights, favourite reworks and thoughtful conversation. They also consider what Bowie’s legacy can teach us today about authenticity, curiosity and the power of continually reimagining who we are.

Lovely reversal of normal attire on Top of the Pops Christmas 1986

The David Bowie interview on 6 was really interesting. Neil chose all of the records they played. Anyone else hear it, I listened on the Sounds app.

There's a gay bar in Albert Square? I bet The Dagmar had a crap playlist.

Vernon Kay played Always on my mind this morning (BBC Radio 2) and did a brief piece on it’s origins if anyone interested.

Nice. Dave’ll be pleased, though he’d rather have his newer songs promoted.
