10 years ago, a fellow called Nick Murphy put out his debut album. The Melbournian traded on the name Chet Faker, buzz was building, but when Built on Glass was released, no one knew how big it would become.

There arenât many Australian bands who have sold 23 million copies of their albums.
Cast your mind back to the late 90âs, and a duo from Brisbane called Savage Garden.
Darren Hayes was the angel-voiced frontman, and after putting out two hugely successful albums he went solo. Now many years later heâs published a memoir titled Unlovable, and the story of his life as a little kid growing up in the South Brisbane suburbs, to becoming a worldwide pop star, and finally coming out, is one weâve never heard like this before.

Itâs hard to believe that 20 years ago Casey Donovan won Australian Idol. Just 16 years old, she was thrust into the spotlight and every high and low was captured for all to see. She took away the main prize, but in the years following would be working as a medical receptionist and a rideshare driver to pay the bills.
Casey threw her hat back in the reality show ring with Iâm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here, and won again. And in the past few years, sheâs had a kind of second life starring in hit musicals across the country.
Through it all, her powerhouse voice and grounded nature has endeared her to millions of Australians. For me, watching her belt out huge songs every New Years Eve proves sheâs unparalleled. In music and life, Casey can take just about anything thrown at her.
But what is the music she retreats to, when she needs it most? This is a beautiful conversation with a resilient Queen, and the stories that led her here.

Bernard Fanning is no stranger to the limelight. With Powderfinger he sold millions of albums and rocked out to stadiums of adoring fans.
Then he stripped it back as a solo artist and went Number 1 again. Bernard holds the record for the most amount of Hottest 100 number 1âs, he is adored by generations of Australians, and is one of the most enjoyable people to chat music with.
Bernardâs new project with Paul Dempsey proves heâs still compelled to create music, and with all of this history, we sat down in Melbourneâs legendary Bakehouse Studios to Take 5.
Interestingly, Bernard came up with his own theme for this one; he was super keen to explore the worldâs of vulnerability and bravado. And from Bowie to Nina Simone, AC/DC to Bob Dylan, we unpacked a whole lot more. Settle in for this special extended cut of Bernard Fanning's Take 5.

Neil Finn is one of our greatest living songwriters. In Split Enz and Crowded House, solo and in his collaborations, his tunes have become the soundtrack to our lives.
Iâve been chasing Neil to Take 5 for the TV series since the beginning, and finally he said yes. Even better, he invited us to film at his own studios. Roundhead, a pale green building on an Auckland street that has seen some incredible music history go down.
Bunker down in the basement of Roundhead, as Neil Finn shares the DNA of his songwriting heart, and the music that soars for him.

Many of us have grown up with Claudia Karvan. She's been on our screens since she was 10 years old, starring in films like The Big Steal and The Heartbreak Kid. And weâve fallen in love with her on the small screen, in her long running roles on The Secret Life of Us and Love My Way. These days, Claudia is not only an actor but a hugely successful producer behind TV shows like Doctor Doctor and Bump.
Through all she does there is a great sense of optimism, so I gave her the theme of hope. And from John & Yoko to The Velvets to BARKAA, she confirmed once again why she is universally loved.

Bill Bailey is one of the most loved comedians in the world. From his breakout role as Manny in the cult TV show Black Books, to his exceptional talent for playing multiple instruments, he always leaves his audiences feeling brighter. Bill is fascinated with natural history and humanity, his curiosity knows no bounds and music has been a constant companion.
I asked him to Take 5 with songs that reflect humanity, and he gifted me an extraordinary conversation about life, death, risk taking and memory making. I was buzzing after this chat, and I hope you will be too.

Irish singer CMAT has been taking the world by storm. Shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize and counting Elton John as a fan, her country-twinged songs capture heartbreak with a healthy dose of humour.
A couple of albums in, and an Australian visit on the way, I thought it was high time we got to know the woman from Ireland, born Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson. After listening to this, you'll want to be her bestie. With an extraordinary music knowledge and plenty of craic, dive into CMAT's suckerpunch songs.

Michelle Brasier is a comedian, actor, writer and singer. You might have seen her on Aunty Donna, Mad As Hell and Thank God You're Here, or caught one of her award winning stand-up shows.
Michelle has also just published her first book; itâs a memoir titled My Brother's Ashes are in a Sandwich Bag, and itâs beautiful, itâs funny, and it's filled with hope. It reminds us of the little moments in life that make it shimmer. And from Bonnie Tyler to Bo Burnham, Michelle will share the right song for the right moment, with you.

Dan Kelly is one of our best songwriters. He's whimsical, charming, and with indie-pop hooks for days. Almost 10 years since his last album, heâs now back with GOLDFEELS, and a decidedly more serious outlook. But Dan still knows how to draw you into a yarn and make you smile.
He also looks to some heroes for inspiration, grounding, and to follow their arrow. So dig into his 'story time' Take 5 with five incredible songwriters.

Noel Gallagher is just like you.
Putting aside the fame and fortune, the hit records and the very public family issues, at his heart he's a big music nerd. As a kid he idolised the songs on the record player and worshipped the legends who wrote them.
His Take 5 theme was 'escape', and growing up in a council estate in The North, music was Noelâs escape. Heâd be transported by older kids' records and dance till dawn at the infamous Haçienda nightclub. But even as his fame grew and he moved to big houses in the leafy parts of London, the desire for music to whisk him away remained.

A special little treat for you in the feed this week; a conversation with Nick Cave. After years away, he's returned to doing interviews, and Zan Rowe was lucky to get the only Australian radio interview with him. They spoke about Wild God, the legacy of the Bad Seeds, people lost, and things found. About frogs.
Settle in for a beautiful conversation with one of the greatest artists and poets of our time. A fella who has been through it, and emerged with new purpose. The one and only, Nick Cave.

Emily Wurramara is one of my favourite Australian musicians.
The Warnindhilyagwa woman writes from the heart, sings with the smokiest voice around, and has a laugh that is truly infectious. This is a glorious Take 5. Settle in for some beautiful energy, lots of laughs, and real insight into the songs that tell her story of new beginnings.
Itâs been six years since Emilyâs debut album, a lot has changed in her life but now sheâs back with NARA, and on the day she released it I invited her to Take 5.
From John Fogerty to Brandy to The Cure, take a ride through the musical map of Emily Wurramara's big heart.

In 2004, a rock doco came out that was pure chaos. Dig! captured 7 years in the life of The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre as they tried to break it big. Made by a young first-time filmmaker called Ondi Timoner and her brother David, it's a wild story about growing up, art vs commerce, friendship and bust ups.
20 years later it's been re-cut as Dig! XX, with over 40 minutes of never-before-seen footage, and shown for the first time in Australia at the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). I jumped at the chance to get Director Ondi Timoner into the studio to Take 5. Because Ondi has stories. Dig in, and revel in this curious, creative mind.

Ever since I first heard them, Middle Kids have been a favourite.
Exceptional songwriting, brilliant playing, and Hannah Joyâs beautiful voice.
Theyâve now got three albums under their belt, the latest of which is called Faith Crisis Pt 1. Iâve wanted to invite Middle Kids in to Take 5 for a while, and when Hannah said yes, and sent her songs back, I knew weâd be in for a treat. Strap in for a beautiful wander across some incredible songs, and a heartfelt chat about finding faith again.

You know that feeling when youâre watching a movie or TV show and the perfect song hits at the perfect moment?
Think Lost in Translation when âAlone in Kyotoâ by Air comes in, or the visceral scenes from The Bear soundtracked by Refusedâs âNew Noiseâ.
You donât just see films, you hear them.
Such is the power and responsibility of the music supervisor who carefully selects the right song for the right scene and has it hit at just the right moment.
It's Jemma Burns' job to make that magic.
From the new series of Heartbreak High to Boy Swallows Universe, Top of the Lake to Okja, itâs Jemmaâs brilliant music brain behind those perfect song selections.
The theme for this Take 5 is synchronicity songs. Not the all-time greatest soundtrack moments, but stories from Jemma's own experience and relationship with film and sound.

Sarah Blasko has a voice that never lets you go.
Her debut album The Overture & the Underscore was released 20 years ago, and sheâs been a constant presence ever since. Always pushing the boundaries of her art and anchoring everything she does with that transcendent voice.
Two decades on from her debut, and 6 years since her last album, Sarah Blasko is back with new music.
It's the perfect excuse to revisit a wonderful conversation from 2018, when sheâd pushed through a rough period of writerâs block to get her sixth album Depth of Field out into the world.
It was on the same day the album was released, that she came in to Take 5 with her breakthrough songs. Tunes that busted through a creative block and led her in new directions.

There's no other artist quite like DOBBY.
The proud Filipino and Murrawarri artist (real name Rhyan Clapham) is a composer, rapper, producer and drummer. He's been performing and releasing music for years, but only just released his debut album.Itâs called WARRANGU; River Story, and itâs about the plight of the Murray-Darling river system. The artistry on this album is magnificent. DOBBY expertly weaves together his own compositions with field recordings and stories from elders, all while documenting the history of these pivotal water sources and the devastating impact water theft has had on them.This Take 5 falls in NAIDOC Week, and the theme in 2024 is âKeep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.âIn keeping with this theme, DOBBY shares his songs of fire. The music that lights him up inside and keeps the stories burning.
