    The People's Playlist is back with your fave bangers that go round and round…Tracks with circular rhythms, hypnotic refrains, beats that pulse like a heartbeat, and melodies that feel like they could go on and on forever... Dancefloor loops, trancy grooves  -  call-and-response chants and round-song harmonies. What are the songs that pull you in, and keep you there, going round and round (and round)?

    Isabella 'Izzi' Manfredi was born to be a frontwoman. As lead singer for The Preatures, she brought rock n roll swagger and brilliant pop songwriting to the scene, when they arrived in the 2010’s. They called it a day in 2020, but recently decided to reform and celebrate that brilliant debut album Blue Planet Eyes. It was the catalyst to invite Izzi in to Take 5, and hear about the music that had been the foundations and moulded around her ever-evolving existence.

    Kumi Taguchi is freshly minted author. Long known to us as a journo with ABC News and the current host of Insight on SBS, she’s just put out a beautiful memoir titled The Good Daughter. Kumi has always had that perfect blend of curiosity and empathy, it’s what makes her a great journo. She’s also got a strong grounding in music, having trained in violin as a child and even winning a scholarship to study music. So when I asked her to Take 5, I knew she'd have stories.

    Tim Carroll has got stories. One half of Holy Holy, he’s been adventuring around the world for most of his adult life, and place is key to his story with bandmate Oscar Dawson. As Holy Holy get ready to wrap it up for a while, I grabbed Tim on the way out of the door, to Take 5. His great sense of adventure and exceptional music taste locked this one in as a highlight, so go for a journey of sound and story with Tim.

Thanks Stewart! Just winding back my weekly role on News Breakfast. I’ll still be on Double J every Friday, making the Take 5 podcast, and making season 4 of Take 5 for ABC TV. Oh and hosting New Years. Hope you can join me there. ☺️

@zanrowe I am so sorry to wake up and read you will be leaving the ABC Zan . I do not watch much TV but when I do I am drawn to quality and that Ms Rowe you bring to the table. Just remember when one door shuts another will open. Big hug for you from a silly old fool in Brisbane
