Lainey Wilson is a force of nature.Raised in the tiny farming town of Baskin, Louisiana (population 170) she grew up between corn fields and country radio, where music wasn't a genre but a way of life. From writing her first song at nine years old to hauling a camper trailer to Nashville at 19, her path to becoming one of country music's biggest stars was anything but overnight. It took a decade of hustle, a Hannah Montana wig, and an unshakable belief that if she could just get one opportunity, she could do the rest.Now she's selling out arenas across the world, winning back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year awards, starring in Yellowstone, and counting Dolly Parton as a friend who called her "sister." Through it all, her southern charm and small-town values remain her compass; ride horses, sit on the front porch with your dogs, and never forget who you are.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe. Lainey was warm, funny, and generous in sharing her extraordinary journey across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: staying grounded is a choice you make every day, and being yourself is the bravest thing you can do.Lainey Wilson's song choices: Mel McDaniel - 'Louisiana Saturday Night'Lee Ann Womack - 'I Hope You Dance'CCR - 'Lookin' Out My Back Door'Brothers Osborne - 'I'm Not For Everyone'Tim McGraw - 'Humble and Kind'00:00 Introduction: "If Dolly Parton Believes in Me, Then I'm Fine"00:24 From Yellowstone to CMA Entertainer of the Year: "Cowgirl of the Night"00:52 "If You Tell All Your Business, You Ain't Got None": Lainey's Daddy's Wisdom01:06 Filming Take 5: Songs That Keep Her Grounded01:26 Growing Up in Baskin: Music as a Lifeline to the Outside World01:48 "I Wanna Make People Feel That Way": The Power of a Three-and-a-Half Minute Song01:55 Where Did Your Passion Come From?

Jacinda Ardern is a history-maker.As Prime Minister of New Zealand at 37, she became only the second woman in the world to give birth while in office. But it was her leadership style that defined her time at the top, leading with empathy and kindness in the face of back-to-back tragedies, and showing the strength of coming together.From growing up in small-town New Zealand singing country and western duets with her sister at the local community hall, to raging to Smashing Pumpkins in her first car with a discman plugged into the cassette deck, Ardern's musical taste has always been eclectic and deeply personal. She's the teenager who loved alternative music and heavy metal while being a dedicated student rep raised in the Mormon faith, and the world leader who chose a drum and bass track as her walk-on song.Her career path was never straightforward. She ran from the possibility of becoming a politician, buying a one-way ticket to New York to escape the suggestion she should run for office. But a sense of responsibility (what she calls her "oversized sense of duty"), kept pulling her back. In 2017, everything changed in a single year: a by-election, deputy leadership, then the top job itself, all while secretly pregnant. She led her country through the Christchurch mosque shootings, the Whakaari White Island eruption, and a global pandemic, all while insisting that being human is not a weakness.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe at the Australian Chamber Orchestra's studios on Sydney Harbour. Jacinda caught the ferry to the location, rolling up without any entourage, proving just how down-to-earth she is. She was candid, emotional, and generous in exploring her extraordinary life across five songs. The theme that emerged was clear: optimism as a courageous act, and the enduring power of being useful.Jacinda Ardern's song choices: Smashing Pumpkins - 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'Fat Freddy's Drop - 'Wandering Eye'Cat Stevens - 'Peace Train'The Mountain Goats - 'This Year'Shapeshifter - 'Stars'00:00 Introduction: Jacinda Ardern Made History00:54 "They Are Us": Leading with Empathy and Kindness01:04 Filming Take 5 with a Former PM01:56 Extended Podcast Edit: The Most Eclectic Song List of the Season02:02 Childhood in Rural New Zealand: The Record Player at Home02:26 Roy Orbison, ABBA, and Parents' "Slightly Different Era" Taste03:02 The Country and Western Club: Every Friday Night at the Community Hall03:26 Singing Duets with Sister Louise: "She's the One Holding the Microphone"04:03 "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" and the Christmas Special04:58 Sister's Pop vs. Her Alternative: Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine05:11 Smashing Pumpkins: 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'05:53 Growing Up in Morrinsville: Dairy Farms and $20 a Week at the Fish and Chip Shop06:02 The Discman in the Car: Cassette Adapters and Judder Bars06:39 The Multi-Change CD Player: "The Most Exciting Thing"07:02 The Walkman and Sister Louise: "I've Never Gotten Over It"07:44 Playing Every CD to Death: "You Valued Every One"08:01 Teenage Angst: Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails08:21 Smashing Pumpkins: "Both the Lyrics That Spoke to Teenage Angst and Great Music"08:52 Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: A Double Album for the Multi-CD Player09:15 "Despite All My Rage, I'm Still Just a Rat in a Cage"09:29 An Earnest Teenager: Raised in Religion, Student Rep, Working Hard10:13 Not a Headbanger: "My Mother Would've Taken Me to a Chiropractor"10:44 Parents Respected Their Own Musical Taste and Belief Systems11:26 Born in Hamilton, Then Murupara: First Observations of Poverty and Inequality12:00 "A Place That Made Me Quite Political"12:29 Writing the Book: How Do You End Up in Politics?12:48 "All of It Contributes to How You Come to Be the Person You Are"13:15 The Kinship Between Australia and New Zealand13:44 Empathy and Awareness: Seeing What Affects People14:17 Father the Policeman: "Power as a Responsibility"14:40 "Being Useful Is a Driving Force"15:04 Fat Freddy's Drop: 'Wandering Eye'15:13 Moving to Wellington in the Early 2000s15:46 Sworn In as PM: Fat Freddy's Drop Playing on Parliament Steps16:08 Carpooling on a Bus Instead of Crown Cars16:33 "Sitting at the Base of the Steps, Just Playing for Us"17:00 A Full Circle Moment: Unexpected PM, Secretly Pregnant18:29 First Job in Parliament: Interning in Wellington18:57 "I Couldn't Possibly Be a Politician"19:36 People Identifying the Leader in Her Before She Did20:22 The Beehive: Flatting and a Normal Life in Her 20s21:06 Still a Practicing Mormon in Her Early 20s21:25 Cognitive Dissonance: Progressive Politics and the Church21:50 Campaigning for Equality on Saturday, Church on Sunday22:02 Leaving the Church: "Something Had to Give"23:08 Running from Politics: A One-Way Ticket to New York23:36 London, Then Coming Back to New Zealand23:55 "Two Dueling Wolves": Imposter Syndrome vs. Responsibility24:18 Putting Herself Forward: "Turns Out I Was Wrong"24:42 2017: Everything Happened in One Year24:47 By-Election, Deputy Leader, Then Leader Nominated25:28 Waiting for Winston Peters: Finding Out on the 6pm News25:39 Secretly Pregnant During Coalition Negotiations27:27 Malcolm Turnbull Calling to Congratulate27:49 Cat Stevens: 'Peace Train'28:11 Mrs. Bean's Class: Bursting Into Tears as a Child28:55 Yusuf Islam Coming to New Zealand After the March 15 Terror Attack29:30 Peace Train at the Memorial Service: "A Song of Hope in Hard Times"30:00 Feeling the Same Way as a Child and as an Adult31:18 Has Hope Always Led You Through Your Life?31:35 Ernest Shackleton: "Optimism Is True Moral Courage"32:10 Actively Choosing to Be an Optimistic Person33:13 The Christchurch Mosque Shootings: Finding Out in Bits34:01 Frustration and Anger: "A Manifesto of Hate"34:47 "Simply a Human Response": Why Emotion Isn't Weakness35:56 Learning from the Muslim Community: "They Opened Their Arms"37:25 "A Sadness I'll Carry for the Rest of My Life"37:42 Processing Grief: "I'll Never Set That Down"38:21 The Mountain Goats: 'This Year'38:39 The Song of the Year Tradition39:18 "I Am Gonna Make It Through This Year If It Kills Me"40:09 Keeping the Faith in Opposition: Purpose and Team Cohesion41:19 Christchurch, Whakaari, COVID: "It Was Relentless"42:52 Car Time Was Solo Time: Losing That as Prime Minister44:04 Elton John's "Still Standing" and the Earthquake on Live TV44:56 "The Universe Has to Let Up at Some Point"45:02 Knowing It Was Time to Go45:43 "Nothing Left in the Tank"46:03 Not "Spending More Time With Family": The Language of Leaving46:54 "I Am Human.

Josh Burns, the federal Labor Member of Parliament for Macnamara, has been heavily involved in key national policy debates and shared significant personal milestones, including an adult ADHD diagnosis, his appointment as Special Envoy for Social Housing and Homelessness, and strong advocacy for gambling advertising reform. In August 2026, Josh Burns spoke publicly about receiving an adult ADHD diagnosis during an episode of the ABC TV series Kitchen Cabinet with Annabel Crabb. In May 2025, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appointed Burns as the Special Envoy for Social Housing and Homelessness. Working alongside Housing Minister Clare O’Neil, Burns focuses heavily on addressing systemic shortages in the Australian housing market. Burns has stated that the housing market has long been stacked against young people. He has driven initiatives to specifically earmark a portion of the government’s planned 55,000 new social and affordable housing properties for youth-specific accommodation. He is a core defender of the federal government’s $10 billion Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) and has publicly pushed back against criticisms of rental stress, maintaining that aggressive infrastructure builds are necessary to decouple wages from out-of-control property prices.

David Byrne is a music icon.With Talking Heads, or his many wild collaborations, and as an acclaimed solo artist, he's continually pushed the boundaries of sound, crafting some of the most iconic live performances of our time.Over five decades, he's never stopped asking why. His curiosity has driven an extraordinary creative life that stretches way beyond music: on canvas, in writing, filmmaking, composing musicals. He's even designed bike racks.From hearing Bob Dylan's mysterious words on a tiny radio and discovering James Brown's interlocking grooves, to forming Talking Heads at the Rhode Island School of Design and moving to New York's CBGB scene, Byrne has always followed his curiosity wherever it leads. He wrote his very first song, "Psycho Killer," as a test to see if he could write one at all, and it became an instant classic.His collaborations read like a who's who of music history: Brian Eno, Arthur Russell, Parliament-Funkadelic, and even Celia Cruz. His 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense with Jonathan Demme remains one of the most celebrated live performances ever captured. And decades later, he's still rearranging his classic songs, finding new meaning in them, sometimes discovering, as with "Life During Wartime," that they feel more real and more close than ever.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe in a recording studio in Sydney while David Byrne was in Australia touring over the 2025/26 summer. He was jubilant, fascinating, and so generous in exploring his huge life across five songs. As a lifelong DB fan, the theme was clear: curiosity. And as David himself says, the answers don't come in the songs. They come in the live shows, in how we perform and how we are with one another.David Byrne's song choices:James Brown - 'Get On the Good Foot'Joubert Singers - 'Stand On The Word' (Larry Levan mix)Celia Cruz - 'Cucala'James Blake - 'The Wilhelm Scream'Caetano Veloso - 'Tropicalia'00:00 Introduction: A Lifetime of Asking Questions02:01 Meet David Byrne: Icon, Collaborator, Polymath02:33 Extended Cut.

When you look back at the Australian artists who've made their mark internationally, Savage Garden are right up there. Two guys from Brisbane who went Number 1 around the world, cracked the notoriously tough U.S. market and sold nearly 30 million albums with hits like 'I Want You', 'To The Moon And Back', and 'Truly Madly Deeply'. They may have only been together for two albums, but the legacy of their pop breakthrough continues, as does frontman Darren Hayes' incredible story.While he was sailing the highs of global fame, behind the scenes, Darren was dealing with a fractured band relationship, battling depression, and in the closet, unable to be truly himself. As a now proudly out gay man, he continues to sing his stories as a solo artist, but the road hasn't always been smooth sailing. Growing up in Logan, Queensland, the youngest of three in a home shadowed by severe domestic violence, who could have predicted that this sensitive kid who loved to sing would one day stand on the world's biggest stages?Darren's story is extraordinary: 250 rejection letters before anyone would sign Savage Garden, a manager who mortgaged his home to make it happen, and a partnership with Daniel Jones that produced some of the most iconic pop of the '90s before it all came crashing down. There have been plenty of lows too; being told by his own record company to hide who he was, the sudden loss of his mother, and a terrifying accident that shattered his jaw and nearly ended his singing career for good. But Darren Hayes is back, and he's got stories.This episode was captured at Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, which was the building originally built by Charlie Chaplin, later home to A&M Records, and the exact room where "We Are the World" was recorded (Quincy Jones directing Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper, and a room full of legends). It's a space steeped in music history, and if you believe the people who work there, a few ghosts as well. It was the perfect place to sit down with Darren and travel through a life defined by music, survival, and healing.Darren Hayes' song choices: The Dream Academy - 'Life in a Northern Town'Haim - 'Hallelujah'Young The Giant - 'The Walk Home'Coldplay - 'O'Maisie Peters – 'Two Weeks Ago'00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene at Chaplin Studios02:31 The History of Chaplin Studios: From Charlie Chaplin to A&M Records04:00 Karen Carpenter's Ghost and the Sacred Walls05:13 The Theme: Songs of Healing and Music Saving a Life05:41 Growing Up with Domestic Violence in Logan, Queensland06:05 Music as Escape: AM Radio, The Carpenters, and Auntie Jenny's Records06:56 Learning to Sing from Diana Ross and His Mother's Voice08:01 The Dream Academy - 'Life in a Northern Town'08:50 Catharsis Through Melancholy and the Sentimentality of Childhood10:52 Transitions: Missing His Siblings and "The Morning Lasted All Day"12:12 The End of High School and Not Wanting to Grow Up14:23 Growing Up in Logan: Feeling Like a Prince Despite Poverty15:12 A Hyper-Masculine World and Making Star Wars Toys Kiss15:44 Deciding He Was Famous at Age Ten: Protective Armor Against Bullying16:38 Being Called the F Word by His Father Before He Knew What It Meant18:05 Either Be Famous and Magical, or Die18:27 His Job Was to Keep His Mother Alive19:21 Hockey Sticks and Midnight Escapes: Surviving His Father's Violence20:15 Haim - 'Hallelujah'21:02 The Sound of Grace: Guardian Angels and Being Protected21:58 Being Uninvited from a Party and His Mother's Comfort23:30 "You've Got a Hallelujah": Surviving Childhood24:46 When Did Music Become the Path?

Shania Twain holds the record for the biggest selling country album of all time: Come On Over. Growing up poor in a Canadian mining town, who could have foreseen that the woman born Eileen Regina Twain would go on to sell over 100 million records, cross country music into pop, and become one of the most recognisable voices on the planet?Her life has been extraordinary, dotted with hit albums and huge shows, songs known by their opening line worldwide, and fans ranging from country music loyalists to Harry Styles. There've been plenty of lows too, including almost losing her voice completely to Lyme disease. Shania Twain may be a little more raspy, but she's got stories.This episode was captured at the legendary Power Station in Midtown Manhattan (the recording studio where Bruce Springsteen made his biggest albums, where David Bowie recorded Let's Dance, and Madonna crafted Like a Virgin). It was the perfect place to sit down and travel back in time with Shania, as she reflected on the little Miss Twain that became the star. Stick around after the chat for a very funny story about what happened that day at the studio. Let's just say Take 5 alumni Lin-Manuel Miranda may have been involved (and Amanda Seyfried... and Hamilton star Phillipa Soo).Shania Twain's song choices: Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got to Do with It'Aretha Franklin - 'Respect'00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene at the Power Station01:50 The Legendary Power Station Studio02:35 Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'03:15 Growing Up Poor and Dolly Parton's Influence06:45 Reflecting on Childhood and the New Album 'Little Miss Twain'07:30 Singing in Bars as a Child and Tammy Wynette09:01 Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'09:30 Tanya Tucker: A Voice Beyond Her Years11:00 First on Stage at Eight Years Old12:45 Singing in the Bars of Timmins, Ontario15:30 Mother's Dream: The Next Tanya Tucker16:00 Dreaming of Horses Instead of Fame17:05 Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'17:45 Olivia Newton-John: Crossing Genres and Breaking Boundaries20:30 Nashville, Crossing Over to Pop, and Doing It Her Way24:00 The First Video, a Target Budget, and the Belly Button Scandal27:10 Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got to Do with It'28:00 The Queen of Comebacks29:45 A 15-Year Break and Losing Her Voice30:30 Lyme Disease, Vocal Cord Surgery, and Finding a New Voice34:20 Aretha Franklin - 'Respect'35:00 Aretha's Brilliance and Owning the Song37:30 Respect, Recognition, and Not Feeling Like a Star38:30 Finding Peace in the Bush40:00 Full Circle: A Message to Little Miss Twain41:00 A Surprise Visit from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Amanda Seyfried & Phillipa Soo42:30 Next Time: Darren Hayes43:30 Double JThis episode was filmed for season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC TV and ABC iview.

Bestselling novelist Holly Ringland on writing from joy instead of fear, the toolkit she built to meet the inner critic with self-compassion, and finding the first true sentence of her debut after decades of silence. We discuss Why the pain of not writing eventually outweighs the pain of writing. What grief and loss can crack open in a writer that nothing else can. How the first true line of a novel can arrive once you stop listening to the reasons you can't write it. A bullet-point approach to plotting that protects the nervous system from the blank page. What to ask for from early readers, and what to refuse. The distinction between self-doubt and the inner critic, and why it matters. Meeting the inner critic with an equal and opposite internalised force. Breaking procrastination by making the next step impossibly small. Fiction as the lie that tells the truth truest.

At 29 years old, Matt Grace weighed 129 pounds and walked into his mother's house after a three-day crack and alcohol binge. She told him that if he was going to die, it would not be in her house. That was the boundary that started everything. On this episode of The Hard Way, Joe De Sena sits down with Matt Grace, author of God Doesn't Relapse: Sex, Drugs, and the Life That Almost Killed Me, a former ABC TV reporter who overdosed in a newsroom and spent 13 years destroying every relationship through addiction, manipulation, and enabling. Matt breaks down how his father's well-intentioned spoiling robbed him of grit and ambition, how his family's enabling nearly killed him, and what happened the morning he got on his knees with a rifle beside him and prayed out of sheer desperation. They also dig into why parents loving their kids too much can be a death sentence, why service is the foundation of lasting recovery, and how structured accountability and community pull people out of destruction. Things You Will Learn: Why enabling and over-providing destroys a young person's ambition and capacity to endure hardship. The difference between a boundary that saves a life and a rescue that ends one, and what it takes to hold the line. Why service and community replace the void that addiction fills, and why recovery without purpose does not hold. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Hard Boundary Setting: Draw the line. Hold the line. Let consequences teach what words cannot. Service as Structure: Replace self-obsession with outward action. One hour helping someone else is one hour not destroying yourself. Earned Identity Over Given Identity: Stop handing outcomes to your kids. Let them grind. Let them earn. The struggle builds the person. If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses. Matt Grace is an author and transformational recovery expert who has spent more than two decades sober after overcoming addiction himself. With a degree in Addiction Studies and over 10,000 hours mentoring individuals and families, he has dedicated his life to helping people break destructive cycles and rebuild their lives. His work focuses on long-term sobriety, mindset transformation, and guiding people through the difficult but necessary process of reclaiming responsibility and purpose.

Send us Fan Mail You can say no clearly, communicate your needs, and still find yourself in situations you never wanted to be in. This episode is for anyone who has done the boundary work and wondered why it keeps not landing. Sayan sits down with Kelly Gagalis, Marriage and Family Therapist, dating rehabilitation specialist, and creator of Swipe Safely and the Hero Dating Method. Kelly makes a sharp distinction most people have never heard: most of what we call "boundaries" are actually requests dressed up as rules, held in place by shame and nagging. They unpack the difference between prey behavior and confident deterrent, why early action keeps you safer than late communication, and what it actually takes to build a boundary that holds. A clarifying, no-fluff conversation for anyone dating, partnering, or rebuilding trust in their own instincts. About the Guest: Kelly Gagalis is a Marriage and Family Therapist with 15+ years of coaching experience, a monthly ABC TV dating and relationship contributor for 17 years, and the creator of the Hero Dating Method, Swipe Safely, and the Developmental Boundary System. She helps women and gay men rebuild trust, protect their peace, and attract partners who truly value them, through private coaching and a free safety app for online dating. Key Takeaways: Most "boundaries" aren't boundaries, they're requests held together with shame, nagging, or inconsistency. A real boundary doesn't depend on the other person honoring it. A real boundary has a built-in repercussion. If you're not willing to change the relationship when the line is crossed, you've made a request, not set a boundary. Prey behavior is what gets us hurt. Predators succeed when their target sees the threat and doesn't respond early enough. Confident deterrent is responding the moment something crosses the line. Many of us were taught, as children, that asking for help or saying no would be punished. As adults, that script still runs underneath our adult relationships. The work is letting shame run through you and doing the protective action anyway. That's how you rewrite the developmental script. Safety isn't about what you say in the moment. It's about what you notice in your environment, what you choose consciously, and how early you act.

He also talks about plans that include sending three more warships and thousands more troops to take the strategic fuel depot on Kharg Island. Plus, he touches on how scientists conducting clinical trials on psilocybin mushrooms for depression treatment now believe psychedelics may have no greater effect than existing antidepressants and worry about the percentage of positive reactions that can be attributed to placebo effect. John then interviews Frank Conniff a comedy writer and performer who began his TV career writing for the Peabody Award winning Comedy Central series Mystery Science Theater 3000, where he also played TV's Frank.

THE CROSSROADS is a gripping, family-centered mystery for both loyal fans and newcomers. Readers love Joe Pickett—a likeable, dogged hero who always tries to do the right thing—and this time, his three daughters share the spotlight. Set against the fierce beauty of the modern West, where energy empires, cartels, and powerful families vie for control of the land, Box delivers a timely, emotionally charged thriller about family, loyalty, and the cost of standing for what's right in a world where corruption runs deep.At the heart of C.J. Box's appeal is his creation of game warden, Joe Pickett, an unlikely hero who has nonetheless become one of the most beloved protagonists in contemporary crime fiction. Joe is not a hard-drinking big-city detective or a noir antihero; he's a polite, hard-working game warden in rural Wyoming, a family man who “lives paycheck to paycheck” and is deeply fond of his wife and daughters (no brooding lone wolf clichés here). He's human and fallible – he sometimes screws up, doubts himself, or gets in over his head – but he always tries to do the right thing. That said, he's encountered some very grisly scenes and insane villains. And game wardens are unique because they can legitimately be involved in just about every major event or situation that involves the outdoors and the rough edges of the rural new west.C. J. Box is the #1 New York Times of twenty-six Joe Pickett novels, eight stand-alone novels, and a story collection. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and two Barry awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, the Western Heritage Award for Literature, and two Spur Awards. An avid outdoorsman, Box has hunted, fished, hiked, ridden, and skied throughout Wyoming and the Mountain West. He has been executive producer on shows based on his books, including ABC TV's Big Sky and Joe Pickett on Paramount+.#cjbox#speakingofwriterspodcast#authorpodcast#joepickett#bookpodcast
MEET THE CREATIVE TEAM BEHIND THE WAY, MY WAY This week on the podcast I am delighted to be sharing a conversation I had with two very talented and Camino-spirit filled people, Bill Bennet and Jennifer Cluff. [See their bios below.] You may know Bill as the director and lead character of the film The Way, My Way, and the author of the book of the same name, which tell the story of his pilgrimage on the Camino Francés. You may know Jennifer as the actress who played Bill's wife in the movie, but what you may not know is that Jennifer is also Bill's real-life wife and they are solid partners in their creative endeavors. And what a delightful and insightful pair they are. Let's see where this conversation goes . . . In this episode I am trying a new format: a "live" audience asking questions of our guests. Let me know what you think! HAVING TROUBLE BRINGING YOUR CAMINO HOME? Join us in La Terraza, where pilgrims gather to share in the spirit of the Camino. MEET BILL BENNETT Bill Bennett studied Journalism at the University of Queensland before joining the ABC as a journalist. He moved into documentaries and stayed with the ABC for twelve years before going freelance as a documentary filmmaker. During this time he won two Logies, (Australia's equivalent of the Emmy)for Television Reporter of the Year, and Most Outstanding Television Documentary of the Year. He then moved into feature films. He's made 17 feature films as writer, producer and director. He's won Australian Film Institute Awards (Australia's equivalent of the Oscar) for Best Film and Best Director and been nominated a further twelve times. He's had two films in Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival and four films selected for the Toronto Film Festival. In 2024 his movie The Way, My Way became the third highest grossing Australian film of the year. It was based on his best-selling Camino memoir of the same name. In 2025 the Spanish Government awarded Bill the 8th annual Malaspina Award for his outstanding contribution to furthering cultural ties between Australia and Spain through his book and film, The Way, My Way. As an author, Penguin Random House has published his YA supernatural thriller trilogy, Palace of Fires. MEET JENNIFER CLUFF Jennifer Cluff is a producer of feature films and a dramaturge who has taken her skills from theatre into literature and film. She began her career as an actress, at the tender age of 17, starring in the classic ABC TV series, SEVEN LITTLE AUSTRALIANS. Then followed more TV, some movies, and theatre – at the Sydney Theatre Company and the Queensland Theatre Company. During this time she worked with playwrights on the development of their material. She later script edited Bill Bennett's first feature screenplay for the film A STREET TO DIE, which was nominated for five AFI Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. As Bill's partner, she subsequently script edited all his screenplays, including the multiple AFI Award winner KISS OR KILL – a film which she also produced with Bill. Jennifer has since produced, along with Bill, 10 feature films, all of which were released theatrically. #youonthecamino #caminodesantiago #firsttimepilgrim #thecaminoexperience #caminopodcast
