In this episode of Battlecries + Champagne, Aaron, Andrew and John investigate David Bowie's rarest bubble of output: his voicework in 1978's Peter And The Wolf (Sergei Prokofiev's symphonic fairytale) and 2007's Atlantis Squarepants (a TV movie in the Spongebob Squarepants universe).

Though the trio are just saplings in the world of audio recording themselves, they decide to tackle Bowie's spoken word oeuvre head on.
