  • Episode 168: Bowie, Etc. Aired: Wednesday, January 13, 2016

    This week's Sound of Tomorrow starts off a bit somber as we discuss David Bowie's untimely passing. As you might imagine, this week's been rough on The Babe With The Power but Ross is there to help her through it. "I Can't Give Everything Away" from Bowie's latest *Blackstar* is today's music break and then we're back with a lighter topic: a continued discussion of Marie Kondo's theory of decluttering. The challenge is set and we'll report the results on February 3! We finish out the show with a little science news and that is that.

    Thank you, David Bowie. May you rest in peace.
