Pretty thrilled to announce that my book will be published on January 15! It's called David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God. It’s published by @bloomsburybooks and tells the story of Bowie's spiritual explorations - and why they were fundamental to his work

Melvyn Bragg @BBCr4today : ‘I come from an ordinary working-class background which people didn’t seem to know was full of talented people’. Indeed. And if they did know, they have forgotten.

“It’s so good… It’s wisdom.” Reflecting on his guest edit and leaving In Our Time after almost 30 years, Melvyn Bragg gives an emotional reading of Thomas Hardy's 'She, To Him'.

More wisdom about human learning in this exchange than in most education PhDs

“I think follow what you really want to do… We are a curious species.” Melvyn Bragg gives advice to journalist Misha Glenny, who is taking over as presenter of Radio 4’s In Our Time in January, and talks about the lasting impact of the programme on listeners.



Americans and insomniacs in Britain and Europe: you can hear me being interviewed by the excellent @JohnFugelsang about my book tonight at 9.20pm EST (that's 2.20am GMT) on SiriusXM Progress 127. It'll be on his podcast tomorrow too. Worth listening for him as much as me


A typically perspicacious critique of the absurd sub-Spodeish online movement and of the institutional C of E's damp and puffy response to it (plus heartening suggestion of where the best kind of alternative may be found)

I wrote about how the attempt to co-opt Christianity for a new online movement has meant very old heresies are rearing their heads: from ‘wandering bishops’ to Apollinarianism. newstatesman.com/politics/relig…



Lazarus was one of Bowie's most extraordinary and important works. I've done my best to do justice to it in my book, thanks in large part to a wonderful conversation I had with Ivo van Hove. Quite something how Bowie's last appearance came on the night his dream became reality

I probably enjoyed writing about The Next Day more than any other Bowie album. A few of those bloat tracks turn out to be pretty fascinating, and there's vastly more to the album than is immediately apparent. But this opinion is also true

The Next Day is Bowie's greatest missed opportunity. There's a stunning 10 track album in there, but those few extra bloat tracks just bring it down.
