Myf and Zan are smack bang in the middle of their national tour, so this week we’re throwing back to where it all kicked off in Adelaide.

Get ready to learn all about bin night, find out what a ‘man-bang’ is and hear Tom bang on about Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.

Ok how many people googled "The Joker" song after seeing Gaga sing it this week? Myf and Zan are here to unpack the week that was, and investigate whether Lady Gaga is a hornbag for Kath & Kim's theme song. The courtroom saga of the MONA Ladies Lounge is the gift that keeps giving, and we debrief on the artist's win. And a great read in the New Yorker unpacks the trends, algorithms, and servitude we offer up to Instagram in our quest to be seen. Bit of coin chat this week too, and we've been nominated for an award! Get behind us, Bang Fam! And we're banging on about the new 90's Vogue doco, and chef Ben Shewry's new memoir Uses for Obsession.

The Australian actor and TV producer explains how her Bali upbringing, salsa, and a love for Sinéad O'Connor have shaped her career and attitude to life. 

Myf and Zan are back to bring some light into your week, and Polly Jean Harvey is gonna help. Did you hear that Myf has the Prime Minister on her Spicks and Specks team this weekend too? She'll give you all the goss. Meanwhile Zan is punishing anyone who'll listen to watch The English Teacher - while also realising it's creator is also TJ Mack. It's a classic Gen X discovery of TikTok virality, a year too late. And a piece on "treat culture" and why giving yourself a fancy smoothie or mani/pedi is the new vacation, has us intrigued. If internet chat is too much this week, look up. It's Aussie Bird Count week and a reminder to get your head outta your phone. We're banging on about the Menendez Brothers series on Netflix 'Monsters', and a fascinating exploration into groupthink with the podcast Hysterical.

Neil Finn joins Zan Rowe on Take 5 to share how his never-ending compulsion to create has been inspired by Fleetwood Mac and his father's love of jazz.

Bernard Fanning is no stranger to the limelight. With Powderfinger he sold millions of albums and rocked out to stadiums of adoring fans. Then he stripped it back as a solo artist and went Number 1 again. Bernard holds the record for the most amount of Hottest 100 number 1’s, he is adored by generations of Australians, and is one of the most enjoyable people to chat music with. Bernard’s new project with Paul Dempsey proves he’s still compelled to create music, and with all of this history, we sat down in Melbourne’s legendary Bakehouse Studios to Take 5. Interestingly, Bernard came up with his own theme for this one; he was super keen to explore the world’s of vulnerability and bravado. And from Bowie to Nina Simone, AC/DC to Bob Dylan, we unpacked a whole lot more. Settle in for this special extended cut of Bernard Fanning's Take 5. AC/DC – ‘Jailbreak’ David Bowie – ‘Sound And Vision’ Nina Simone – 'I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free’ Prince – ‘1999’ Bob Dylan

Casey Donovan has had her share of high and low points since winning Australian Idol in 2004, but the performer, singer and actor tells Take 5's Zan Rowe that she never wants to lose her vulnerability.

We're a US election free zone in this week's episode, so if you want a brain bath and a some silly duffa chat we are - as always - here if you need. And it's a huge week cos we think Beyoncé is Bang Fam?! Is she sending us messages via her Beylloween posts? Closer to home, an obituary has nailed it, and a questionable survey has us chatting interior design. Live, Laugh, Love. Moschino have backed up their baguette bag with a celery clutch and all we can say is TAKE OUR MONEY. And we're celebrating the life and legacy of the late great Quincy Jones.
