Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the loss of babies, so please take care when listening. Earlier this week was the 51 year anniversary of the landmark Roe V Wade decision handed by the US Supreme Court, protecting a persons right to an abortion. Fast forward to June 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned that ruling, and the abortion rights of women across the United States were extremely prohibited or gone altogether. In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert in women and girls' rights to see where the women of the US are now and if there is any chance of the decision being overturned soon.

We're a few weeks into the new year now, and for some, you may have been able to stick to those resolutions you made on January 1. For others, you may have already fallen off the wagon.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your online presence after you die? Now with technology like AI and holograms, we're seeing a rise in reanimations to create a version of someone deceased to interact with long after they're gone. We've seen Tupac and Michael Jackson appear via hologram at concerts, Kim Kardashian's famous father was immortalised as a birthday present to her and just last year The Beatles released a new single using AI technology to isolate John Lennon's voice from a late 1970's demo. But how would you feel if someone reanimated you using your digital footprint? In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the moral and ethical arguments around what to do with your digital remains. Want to try our new exercise app?

In recent weeks, a judge in the US has released a trove of documents relating to a 2015 defamation case brought against convicted child sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell. In these documents reportedly lurked a list of celebrity names, high flying, powerful men and women who are linked to pedophile and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. So who made the list? Do we find out anything new about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton or Prince Andrew's dealings with the now late millionaire? And what do these documents reveal about the way in which the rich and powerful interact with the justice system.

The Quicky will be back with new episodes from January 15, but until then here’s one of our favourite episodes of this year. Thank you so much for being a part of The Quicky in 2023. Every day we are surrounded by endless information. We are taking things in when we check our phones, turn on the tv, go to the supermarket, get in our cars. It's almost inescapable. Most of us carry phones with us all day everyday. Phones that have the entire internets knowledge at the end of our fingertips. With our lives now so information saturated, there is research stating that our cognitive function is being impaired by too much information. A few years ago, entrepreneur Tim Ferriss introducer a concept called the 'low-information diet'. The concept is to limit our intake of unnecessary information to free up time and brain space. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what a low-information diet is and whether it's right for you. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Next week, Aussie kids return to the school yard for their first day of 2024. There will be those entering those gates for the very first time, full of nerves and excitement, those who are old hats and wander in like 'here we go again' and for some, it might be the very last time it’ll be their first day back at school, facing down year 12 and all that comes with it. Today we’re looking at the different types of kids at the school gate on the first day, how you can help with those suffering anxiety and how to handle your own emotions when your child walks in and never looks back.

It's that time of year when you might be heading home to see family for Christmas. Heading home for the holidays can be charged with so many emotions, excitement, comforting, soul charging, but it can also bring about some other feelings. Maybe you walk in the door of your family home and turn back into the teenage version of yourself, reacting in the same way to triggers you did years earlier? In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why we do this and how we navigate family dynamics at this time of year. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Back in 2005 a newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch, ran a story about Prince William hurting his knee. It raised suspicions amongst the royals. Why? They believed the information was gained by hacking into their voicemails. This week, Prince Harry won a court case where a judge ruled in favour of him. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what Harry won, aside from the money. Will this case change the nature of the British press? Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Yesterday three Prime Ministers, including our own, came together to call for a sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The call came as the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to demand the same, in a strong show of global support for ending the Israel Hamas war. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said a ceasefire is not an option. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what it will take to make a ceasefire happen - is international pressure enough to force Israel and Hamas to lay down their weapons?

There seems to be two types of people through the month of December. The first are full of festive spirit, excited for the parties and socialising, soaking up those finish line vibes. The others are in full burn out mode, dragging themselves to the end of the month with less optimism and more dread about what the next few weeks look like. And while you might fit into the latter, there are actually three very distinct types of burnout that extend beyond a feeling of being tired or too busy. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the three types of burnout and how to combat them to start afresh in 2024. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

You may have heard of Incels before - but do you know what it means? It stands for involuntarily celibate. It's a group of boys and men who group together in online forums to vent their rage and sometimes share the ways they're getting revenge on the women they believe would never date them in the real world. In this episode of The Quicky we take a look inside the incel movement, the ways in which they are enacting their revenge and why 'chadfishing' might even catch you out.
