Take 5 with Zan Rowe is on ABC tonight as Jacinda Ardern shares the songs that have accompanied a life of leadership.
Ardern became New Zealand’s Prime Minister at 37 and led her country through extraordinary challenges. In this episode, the conversation moves away from politics to focus on the music that has stayed with her.
The series gives public figures room to reveal a more personal side through five formative songs. Ardern’s playlist offers a different view of a leader known internationally for empathy, kindness and conviction.
