Famous British model Kate Moss is set to present a new BBC Radio 6 Music podcast on iconic David Bowie. The podcast will contain eight parts and will be called Music Uncovered, David Bowie: Changeling and will see Moss explore the late artist in the period from 1970-1975.
The model said: “David Bowie was a very special person. Someone who was much more than a friend – he was an enigma. So, when the chance came to dive into this extraordinary five-year chapter of Bowie’s life for 6 Music and BBC Sounds, hearing from those who joined him on his creative journey and those he continues to inspire, I was excited to help share the story of such an incredible transformation. This podcast is a real celebration of my friend, a true British icon.”
Each episode will focus on Bowie and the many things that made him the artist he was such as his early performances with The Hype, his love for art and especially Andy Warhol and the legacy he left behind with iconic character Ziggy Stardust.
The podcast is partnering with The V&A museum which is launching their David Bowie Centre at their East Storehouse location in London which is “is a new working archive for the world’s largest collection dedicated to Bowie’s life and works, with free rotating displays of highlights from the collection” according to a press release.
Gossip singer Beth Ditto will join the event with her own new series Indie Forever Disco starting in November as well as having a regular spot on Nick Grimshaw’s Breakfast Show from September 1. She stated: “I’m so excited to be joining 6 Music and to get to work with Nick every week is just the cherry on top. I’ve always been a huge fan of the station, so honestly… I’m so excited, I’m speechless. Which should work out great for radio!”
The Bowie podcast, hosted by Kate Moss, will be available on BBC Sounds from 6am on Wednesday September 10 and broadcasted on Monday September 22 and will feature some unheard archived performances and interviews, including an exclusive interview from 2001 with podcast creator Des Shaw, as well as some recently unearthed audio from the BBC Archive.
The show will also include interviews of the ones closest to Bowie such as Boy George, Lou Reed, Sinéad O’Connor, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Iggy Pop, Robbie Williams and more.
