Yumi Tasma Stynes (born 2 June 1975) is an Australian feminist podcaster and author. She is the presenter of the ABC Radio podcast Ladies, We Need to Talk about female health and sexuality, and the SBS Audio podcast, SEEN, where she talks with trailblazers from communities outside the mainstream. Between 2010 and 2012, she presented the morning television show The Circle and was previously a television presenter on Channel V Australia and Max. During 2013 she was a presenter on Sydney's Mix 106.5 FM radio breakfast program. A portrait of Stynes by Yoshio Honjo was a finalist for the 2022 Archibald Prize.
Stynes was born and grew up in Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia. Her mother is Japanese and her father was fifth generation Australian. She spent her teenage years in Melbourne attending Methodist Ladies College in Kew, Victoria before moving to Sydney to work for Channel V Australia.
In August 2011, Stynes hosted 3PM Pick-Up with Chrissie Swan, broadcast nationally on Mix 101.1, Mix 106.5, Mix 102.3, Mix 106.3 & 97.3 FM. She remained co-host until August 2012 and was replaced by Jane Hall.
In January 2013, Stynes hosted Mix 106.5's breakfast program with Sami Lukis the first all-female team on FM commercial radio in Sydney.
In January 2017, Stynes joined the KIIS Network to host 3PM Pick-Up with Katie 'Monty' Dimond and Rebecca Judd. She remained co-host until December 2022, when the show was cancelled.
Stynes's television career began in 2000 as a presenter for Channel V Australia. In 2007, she moved across to MAX where she presented The Know. From 2010 until 2012, Stynes hosted Network Ten's morning show, The Circle.
In 2018 Stynes hosted a documentary on SBS called Is Australia Sexist?
On the 28 February 2012 episode of The Circle, along with George Negus, Stynes made comments about a photo of former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith coming out of a swimming pool, saying, "He's going to dive down to the bottom of the pool to see if his brain is there", while Negus replied in part, "what if [he's] not up to it in the sack?" After tabloid criticism, they personally contacted Roberts-Smith who accepted their apology and agreed there was no malicious intent. Negus said his comments were taken out of context and he was not referring personally to Roberts-Smith.
