Take 5 with Zan Rowe returns for its fifth season, bringing together an exceptional line-up of global music, cultural and political icons.
A go-to destination for artists and audiences alike, the acclaimed music interview series explores the universal idea that we all carry a soundtrack to our lives.

Lainey Wilson tips her cowboy hat to the songs that keep her grounded, and Genesis Owusu charts his remarkable evolution, while national treasures Vika & Linda’s stories of family, harmony and sisterhood are as powerful as the songs themselves.
Across the season, music unlocks the moments that define us. Because songs are more than memories, they’re time machines. Hit play, and the stories flow.
