Listen "Tim Minchin's souvenir songs"
Episode Synopsis
Tim Minchin is a bit of a renaissance man. An actor, singer, comedian, writer and the fella behind the hugely successful musical adaptation of Matilda. In between his time writing perfect songs on piano, Tim played Atticus Fetch on Californication, and has starred in Australian TV productions like The Secret River, and Squinters. After a decade away, Tim has returned home to Australia. So I asked him to join me and Take 5 with musical souvenirs. We began in London, with chance meetings at parents groups, and ended in California, with a big singalong. Along the way Tim reflected on life as an ex pat, and his return to his homeland. One for fans of Minchin, and of song.
