On that note, music in the podcast is not owned by Battlecries + Champagne and is, rather, the work of David Bowie. Music is used under the fair dealing provision in Canadian copyright law to the best of our understanding. We encourage listeners interested in hearing the full versions of songs to purchase them at their local record stores, through online digital music stores or heck, provide the Bowie Estate with some streaming revenue!
Research for the show was culled from:
Soligny, Jérôme. David Bowie: Rainbowman 1983-2016 (Gallimard, 2020).
Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
