As the music supervisor for Quentin Tarantino's films for the past two decades, Mary Ramos has almost doubled as a detective; scouring the globe to clear the obscure songs that have become central to his films' character. Away from her collaborative relationship with Tarantino, Mary has worked on more than 100 other films and TV shows, including Happy Gilmore, Reality Bites, Wish I Was Here, and even the Chef Aid episode of South Park. Want to hear a good story? Strap yourself in for this Take 5, with a woman whose passion for film fill every living day.

Way back in 2010, a little band from Perth had just released their debut album Innerspeaker. It would get attention worldwide, and win the J Award for Australian Album of the Year. Two months shy of that gong, Kevin Parker and Jay Watson came in to Take 5 with Zan and share five songs that we might be surprised to find in their record collection. Kev's love of pop music is well known today, but at the time these choices got quite the reaction when they came in to co-host, and giggle, with Zan.

Way before he became Weekend arvo's host on triple j, the Paralympian, and wheelchair tennis champ was spotted by Zan crowdsurfing at Meredith Music Festival, so she knew he was a music fan. Just how big of one, she'd realise when Dyl came in to co-host in early 2015. Across five songs Dylan also shared his passion for life, and speaking out for the voiceless.

A music journo with Spin, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times is probably most well known for his biography of Nirvana (published six months before Kurt's death), and his excellent book of essays on American indie bands "Our Band Could Be Your Life". It's the kind of book that makes you want to follow a family tree of music, no matter when you were born. When he came in to Take 5 back in 2010, he shared the five bands that changed his life, and spoke candidly about what it was like to be let into Kurt Cobain's inner circle.

The last year in Amy Shark's life has seen the Gold Coast singer go from playing rooms to a handful of fans, to huge festival stages and sold out headline tours. Here she opens her travel diary, and shares some of the adventures since "Adore" changed everything, and the soundtrack to those moments. From Lollapalooza partying to hanging with Tom DeLonge, and covering legendary tunes for the BBC, Amy's stories are as great as her song choices.

Scientist, comedian, writer and music fan Bish Marzook plays you five infectious songs as we head into National Science Week. With a PhD in Virology and Cell Biology under her belt, Bish is as much at home at festivals as she is in the lab watching a virus go through it's life cycle over 12 hours (with a good soundtrack, of course). Here we dig into how much has shaped who she is as a scientist and student, and talk about love, curiosity and the endless horizon that is scientific study.
Seekae - "Void"Chance The Rapper - "No Problem" (feat Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz)Joni Mitchell - "Both Sides Now"Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Heads Will Roll"Missy Elliott - "Work It"
After collaborating together on an album called Love This Giant, Zan asked DB and StV to collaborate on a playlist when they came in Take 5 in early 2013. They shared five songs that bring them together and a common theme runs throughout; the songs are all by artists who they saw live as they were becoming friends as they set about making music with one another. Head to a gig with David and Annie, and feel the wonder they feel with every new discovery.
