Yumi Stynes is a name you know well if you grew up in Australia. She’s been on tv screens and in radio speakers for close to 20 years; as host on music network Channel V and MAX. These days she does a great podcast on sometimes taboo topics called Ladies, We Need To Talk. In between she’s also published a cookbook, written newspaper columns, and likes to do fun runs in her spare time. And, she’s a massive music fan. I love Yumi Stynes, and this Take 5 made me love her even more. Her theme was “lessons in song” and over five picks she shared some pretty incredible stories from her own time here on earth. From redefining what Regurgitator songs are actually about, to the power of representation on stage, and memories of wild times traveling around Australia making a music show. This is wall to wall great storytelling, from a living legend.
