Dan Sultan is one of Australia's finest voices. Over the past two decades, he's dabbled in rock, country, soul, even a kids album. But it's on his most recent record, Little Miracles, that he feels like he's finally closer to reaching his full potential. It's a heartfelt expression of self, expansive and epic, full of strings, gospel, and pure sunshine.
The album came together in an improbable burst of creativity with legendary songwriter and producer Guy Chambers, (the man behind some of Robbie Williams' biggest hits), and was written and recorded in just 12 days. The title came from Chambers himself, who described the sessions as "a time of little miracles." For Dan, it was the culmination of a journey through mental health struggles and addiction, and a regret held for over a decade which he was finally able to resolve, proof that sometimes the right moment finds you when you're ready.
To celebrate 20 years of Take 5, Double J has been recording special live conversations in record stores around the country. After last week's episode with The Presets at Crosstalk Records in Sydney, Zan Rowe crammed into the charming Music Farmers on Dharawal country in Wollongong for a sunny Sunday session with Dan. His theme was five 'miracles' in song, and Dan chose his tracks because of the artists who sing them. All are vocalists he says can't be compared to anyone else.
Dan Sultan's song choices:
- Mr. Bungle - 'Pink Cigarette'
- Gillian Welch - 'I Made a Lover's Prayer'
- Uncle Frank Yamma - 'She Cried'
- Aaron Neville - 'Ave Maria'
- Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris (Trio) - 'High Sierra'

The Presets are Australian electronic music royalty.
From their beginnings as classically trained percussion students at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music to their breakthrough as synth-wielding dancefloor destroyers, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes have spent three decades making music that refuses to sit still. Their 2008 album Apocalypso made them the first electronic act to win the ARIA for Album of the Year, and singles like "My People" became anthems for a generation.
Before The Presets, there was Prop: a minimalist percussion ensemble blending Steve Reich with spacey synths. The transformation from that to "caveman synth rock" happened one afternoon in Kim's living room in Erskineville, jamming AC/DC riffs on synthesizers. The rest is history: EPs, beloved records, international tours, and a legacy that helped define Australian electronic music.
Now they are celebrating that era with Forever After, a festival brimming with noughties legends like Cut Copy, Ladyhawke, Bag Raiders, and the spirit of Daft Punk's infamous Never Everland 2007.
Recorded in front of a live audience at Crosstalk Records in Sydney, Jules and Kim theme was First Contact: the songs that made their universe a much bigger place.
The Presets' song choices:
- Kraftwerk - 'Tour de France'
- The Cure - 'A Forest'

Pia Miranda is joy personified.
From her first TV gig on Neighbours, where her character Karen dated Toadie and made a dramatic final exit from the show holding a pavlova, to her breakthrough turn as Josie in Looking for Alibrandi, she has been one of Australia's most beloved screen actors for 25 years. But it's her second act that's surprised everyone, including herself: winning Australian Survivor in a unanimous vote, singing in a thong costume (the footwear kind) on The Masked Singer, and now co-hosting ABC TV's Recipe of the Year.
Growing up Irish-Italian Australian in Melbourne, Pia trained as a ballet dancer and dreamed of being Judy Garland. She studied performance art at university, imagined a future in avant-garde dance, and instead became the unofficial ambassador for a generation's coming-of-age experience. Looking for Alibrandi wasn't just a film, it became a cultural touchstone.
Her north star is simple: if something brings joy, she says yes. She is warm, funny, and completely herself, a quality she credits, in part, to an encounter with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe on Melbourne's Chapel Street in 1995.
Pia Miranda's 'joie de vivre' songs:
- Pulp - 'This is Hardcore'
- Judy Garland - 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'
- R.E.M. - 'It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)'
- Cat Stevens - 'Miles from Nowhere'
- Umberto Tozzi - 'Gloria'
00:00 Introduction: Pia Miranda, Joy Personified

04:12 First Song: Pulp, 'This is Hardcore'

Vika and Linda Bull are national treasures.
From their early days singing backing vocals with Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows to breaking out on their own with acclaimed records, they're part of the very fabric of Australian music, and they do it all in harmony. Their voices have soundtracked decades of Australian life, but it's the story behind those voices that makes them extraordinary.
Growing up in the Melbourne suburb of Doncaster, they lived between two worlds: ordinary suburban school life during the week, and the rich, Tongan culture of their mother's homeland every Sunday at church. It was there, surrounded by four-hour services of soaring Tongan choral singing, that they learned harmony, not through formal lessons, but by feeling the floor vibrate beneath them. Their mother, a Tongan nurse who married an Australian man, taught them their parts at age five: Vika the high, Linda the low. A split that would define their sound for the next four decades.
Their career path was never straightforward. They started in their own band before taking a deliberate side step to join The Black Sorrows as backing vocalists; a six-year apprenticeship under Joe Camilleri that taught them everything from studio technique to stagecraft. It was Vika's voice on "Chained to the Wheel" that transformed the song, and the band's fortunes. But eventually, the pull to tell their own stories became too strong. A difficult conversation with Joe, encouragement from Paul Kelly to try writing, and a year of Thursday afternoon songwriting sessions set them on a new path.
This year, they released an incredibly personal new album reflecting on identity, culture, and mid-life (Where Do You Come From?). They were also inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, an honour that still bewilders two women who started as "a couple of backing singers."
This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at Bakehouse Studios in Melbourne, a rehearsal room the Bull sisters know intimately. They were warm, funny, and deeply emotional in exploring their extraordinary life across five songs.
Vika and Linda Bull's song choices:
- The Maopa Choir and Band - 'Halleluia Chorus (from The Messiah)'
- The Rolling Stones - 'Gimme Shelter'
- Bob Marley and The Wailers - 'Could You Be Loved'
- The Finn Brothers - 'Edible Flowers'
- The Staple Singers - 'Respect Yourself'

Genesis Owusu is one of Australia's most thrilling new artists.
Born Kofi Owusu-Ansah, he immigrated to Canberra with his family when he was just two years old. Almost immediately he felt like an odd one out. And he used that feeling to get weird.
20 odd years later, his music, visuals, and storytelling has resonated with millions. He's won the ARIA for Album of the Year twice (first for Smiling with No Teeth in 2021, and then with Struggler in 2023), and leads the nominations again this year for his third album, Redstar Wu & the Worldwide Scourge.

Lainey Wilson is a force of nature.
Raised in the tiny farming town of Baskin, Louisiana (population 170) she grew up between corn fields and country radio, where music wasn't a genre but a way of life. From writing her first song at nine years old to hauling a camper trailer to Nashville at 19, her path to becoming one of country music's biggest stars was anything but overnight. It took a decade of hustle, a Hannah Montana wig, and an unshakable belief that if she could just get one opportunity, she could do the rest.
Now she's selling out arenas across the world, winning back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year awards, starring in Yellowstone, and counting Dolly Parton as a friend who called her "sister." Through it all, her southern charm and small-town values remain her compass; ride horses, sit on the front porch with your dogs, and never forget who you are.
This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe. Lainey was warm, funny, and generous in sharing her extraordinary journey across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: staying grounded is a choice you make every day, and being yourself is the bravest thing you can do.
Lainey Wilson's song choices:
- Mel McDaniel - 'Louisiana Saturday Night'
- Lee Ann Womack - 'I Hope You Dance'
- CCR - 'Lookin' Out My Back Door'
- Brothers Osborne - 'I'm Not For Everyone'

Jacinda Ardern is a history-maker.
As Prime Minister of New Zealand at 37, she became only the second woman in the world to give birth while in office. But it was her leadership style that defined her time at the top, leading with empathy and kindness in the face of back-to-back tragedies, and showing the strength of coming together.
From growing up in small-town New Zealand singing country and western duets with her sister at the local community hall, to raging to Smashing Pumpkins in her first car with a discman plugged into the cassette deck, Ardern's musical taste has always been eclectic and deeply personal. She's the teenager who loved alternative music and heavy metal while being a dedicated student rep raised in the Mormon faith, and the world leader who chose a drum and bass track as her walk-on song.
Her career path was never straightforward. She ran from the possibility of becoming a politician, buying a one-way ticket to New York to escape the suggestion she should run for office. But a sense of responsibility (what she calls her "oversized sense of duty"), kept pulling her back. In 2017, everything changed in a single year: a by-election, deputy leadership, then the top job itself, all while secretly pregnant. She led her country through the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari White Island eruption, and a global pandemic, all while insisting that being human is not a weakness.
This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's studios on Sydney Harbour. Jacinda caught the ferry to the location, rolling up without any entourage, proving just how down-to-earth she is. She was candid, emotional, and generous in exploring her extraordinary life across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: optimism as a courageous act, and the enduring power of being useful.
Jacinda Ardern's song choices:
- Smashing Pumpkins - 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'
- Fat Freddy's Drop - 'Wandering Eye'
- Cat Stevens - 'Peace Train'

David Byrne is a music icon.
With Talking Heads, or his many wild collaborations, and as an acclaimed solo artist, he's continually pushed the boundaries of sound, crafting some of the most iconic live performances of our time.
Over five decades, he's never stopped asking why. His curiosity has driven an extraordinary creative life that stretches way beyond music: on canvas, in writing, filmmaking, composing musicals. He's even designed bike racks.
From hearing Bob Dylan's mysterious words on a tiny radio and discovering James Brown's interlocking grooves, to forming Talking Heads at the Rhode Island School of Design and moving to New York's CBGB scene, Byrne has always followed his curiosity wherever it leads. He wrote his very first song, "Psycho Killer," as a test to see if he could write one at all, and it became an instant classic.
His collaborations read like a who's who of music history: Brian Eno, Arthur Russell, Parliament-Funkadelic, and even Celia Cruz. His 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense with Jonathan Demme remains one of the most celebrated live performances ever captured. And decades later, he's still rearranging his classic songs, finding new meaning in them, sometimes discovering, as with "Life During Wartime," that they feel more real and more close than ever.
This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe in a recording studio in Sydney while David Byrne was in Australia touring over the 2025/26 summer. He was jubilant, fascinating, and so generous in exploring his huge life across five songs. As a lifelong DB fan, the theme was clear: curiosity. And as David himself says, the answers don't come in the songs. They come in the live shows, in how we perform and how we are with one another.
David Byrne's song choices:
- James Brown - 'Get On the Good Foot'
- Joubert Singers - 'Stand On The Word' (Larry Levan mix)
- Celia Cruz - 'Cucala'
- James Blake - 'The Wilhelm Scream'
- Caetano Veloso - 'Tropicalia'

When you look back at the Australian artists who've made their mark internationally, Savage Garden are right up there.
Two guys from Brisbane who went Number 1 around the world, cracked the notoriously tough U.S. market and sold nearly 30 million albums with hits like 'I Want You', 'To The Moon And Back', and 'Truly Madly Deeply'.
They may have only been together for two albums, but the legacy of their pop breakthrough continues, as does frontman Darren Hayes' incredible story.
While he was sailing the highs of global fame, behind the scenes, Darren was dealing with a fractured band relationship, battling depression, and in the closet, unable to be truly himself.
As a now proudly out gay man, he continues to sing his stories as a solo artist, but the road hasn't always been smooth sailing.
Growing up in Logan, Queensland, the youngest of three in a home shadowed by severe domestic violence, who could have predicted that this sensitive kid who loved to sing would one day stand on the world's biggest stages?
Darren's story is extraordinary: 250 rejection letters before anyone would sign Savage Garden, a manager who mortgaged his home to make it happen, and a partnership with Daniel Jones that produced some of the most iconic pop of the '90s before it all came crashing down. There have been plenty of lows too; being told by his own record company to hide who he was, the sudden loss of his mother, and a terrifying accident that shattered his jaw and nearly ended his singing career for good. But Darren Hayes is back, and he's got stories.
This episode was captured at Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, which was the building originally built by Charlie Chaplin, later home to A&M Records, and the exact room where "We Are the World" was recorded (Quincy Jones directing Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper, and a room full of legends). It's a space steeped in music history, and if you believe the people who work there, a few ghosts as well. It was the perfect place to sit down with Darren and travel through a life defined by music, survival, and healing.
Darren Hayes' song choices:
- The Dream Academy - 'Life in a Northern Town'

- Young The Giant - 'The Walk Home'

Shania Twain holds the record for the biggest selling country album of all time: Come On Over.
Growing up poor in a Canadian mining town, who could have foreseen that the woman born Eileen Regina Twain would go on to sell over 100 million records, cross country music into pop, and become one of the most recognisable voices on the planet?
Her life has been extraordinary, dotted with hit albums and huge shows, songs known by their opening line worldwide, and fans ranging from country music loyalists to Harry Styles. There've been plenty of lows too, including almost losing her voice completely to Lyme disease. Shania Twain may be a little more raspy, but she's got stories.
This episode was captured at the legendary Power Station in Midtown Manhattan (the recording studio where Bruce Springsteen made his biggest albums, where David Bowie recorded Let's Dance, and Madonna crafted Like a Virgin). It was the perfect place to sit down and travel back in time with Shania, as she reflected on the little Miss Twain that became the star. Stick around after the chat for a very funny story about what happened that day at the studio. Let's just say Take 5 alumni Lin-Manuel Miranda may have been involved (and Amanda Seyfried... and Hamilton star Phillipa Soo).
Shania Twain's song choices:
- Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'
- Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'
- Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'

Peter Garrett has been an unstoppable force of Australian music for decades.
As the iconic frontman of Midnight Oil, a grassroots activist, and a former Federal Parliamentarian, he's spent a lifetime driving change: from the pubs of Sydney to the remote outback communities that reshaped the band's sound, from the floor of Parliament to the world's biggest stages. He's never stopped pushing.
But beneath the towering public persona lies something unexpected. When Zan Rowe gave him the theme "Songs of Change," Peter Garrett revealed a softer, surprisingly open side: a man moved to tears by music, still searching for love and meaning, and still driven by hope in a world that often feels hopeless.
He traces it all back to a suburban childhood where his parents spun protest records on a gramophone, through the tragic, sudden loss of both parents as a young man, to the formation of Midnight Oil with Rob Hirst and Jim Moginie, a partnership that would define Australian rock for half a century. He recalls the 1986 Blackfella Whitefella tour through remote Indigenous communities with Warumpi Band as the experience that moved him more deeply than playing to 50,000 people in Rio or New York. "Nothing affected me like actually being in that environment," he says. "We were visitors, and we were treated with great generosity."
He speaks with raw emotion about the loss of Rob Hirst, his drummer, his sparring partner, his family, and the alchemy that made Midnight Oil undeniable. "If you're gonna die on a hill, die on a hill that's got meaning." On the future of the band without Rob, he's candid but open: "The doors are open. But it may not happen at all."
He reflects on his years in federal parliament, the criticism he faced for wearing a suit, and the idea of service that drove him to enter politics in the first place. He connects Bruce Springsteen's live performance of "War" in the Trump era to Australia's own opportunity to be "a different kind of modern nation." And he closes with Sarah Blasko's "Without," landing on a truth that ties everything together: "You can only be a hopeful person if you actually understand what love is."
This episode was filmed for the new season of Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC TV and ABC iview. Filmed at the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney, Peter Garrett came ready to share, and what unfolded was a conversation about music, loss, service, and love that goes far beyond the public persona. As Peter himself says, the two constants in his life have been music and change. This is the envelope within which he writes all his letters.
Peter Garrett's song choices:
- Peter, Paul & Mary - 'Go Tell It On The Mountain'
- Warumpi Band - 'From The Bush'
- DOBBY - 'Dirrpi Yuin Patjulinya'
- Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - 'War' (live)

This month, Gotye's breakthrough album Like Drawing Blood, turns 20. It was the record that took him from bedroom producer to Hottest 100 favourite, showcasing his incredible talent at sewing sounds. The man behind Gotye, Wally De Backer, has been keeping a low profile for a while. But back in 2007, after a huge year following this album's release, he joined Zan Rowe to Take 5.
This is one of the very first episodes of Take 5, and the first time it's ever appeared on the podcast.
So jump in the time machine and travel back to this mid 2000's moment. It was before Gotye released his worldwide smash "Somebody That I Used to Know", Homebake Festival still existed, MySpace was king, and Wally was at a precipice; head spinning from a wild year but with no idea of what was ahead.
His theme? His top 5 moments of the last 12 months. His songs, all Australian.
Gotye's song choices:
- Josh Pyke - Fill You In
- Karnivool - Shutterspeed
- Faux Pas - For The Trees
- Emily Ulman - Upping The Ante
- The Presets - Are You The One?

35 years ago, we met a band called Smashing Pumpkins. Rising in the wave of American grunge, the Chicago band were led by the iconic voice of Billy Corgan and would rise and rise like all their contemporaries, over the coming years.

Thirty years ago the world met Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. Their debut album Revival introduced us to two incredible storytellers, singers and guitarists, and in the three decades since they’ve swept us away in song.
It's long been on my bucket list to have them Take 5, and finally here it is. When thinking on a theme, I landed on time. Time, and their ruminations on time, have always swirled in their songs. They love old-time music, and take their time in getting your own songs right. How they responded to the theme, is one for the ages.
Settle in for a deep, insightful, and intoxicating conversation with two of music's best.
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings' song choices:

Are you ready for some incredible stories? Take 5 always gifts us with some cracking yarns, but this week’s episode takes the cake. In fact, I’ve had more responses to Ed Le Brocq’s Take 5 than any other, in ages.
Ed used to be Eddie Ayers, a legendary ABC Classic FM broadcaster who has shared his life of adventure with us over the past two decades. Ed is a cellist, viola, and violin player, and has gifted his talents to others; teaching school kids in Afghanistan, and playing for Uyghurs in the remote deserts of China.
We’ll get to those stories soon… but this might give you a sense of why I asked Ed to Take 5. Across four books, Ed has shared his stories of travel and self-discovery with us, and music has always been at his centre. From Joni Mitchell to shredding violas to Ry Cooder, this is an extraordinary conversation about the power of love, self-belief, adventure and of course, music.
Ed Le Brocq's song choices:
- Joni Mitchell – A Case of You
- Maria Theresia von Paradis – Sicilienne
- Elton John – Your Song
- Paul Hindemith - Viola Sonata, Op. 25, No. 1: IV. Rasendes Zeitmass
- Ry Cooder and V. M. Bhatt – Isa Lei
