The Quicky

Donald Trump has been directed by a NY judge to pay $354.9 million in fines imposed due to the fraudulent manner in which he has conducted his business, over-inflating the value of properties to score better deals on loans and insurance and to pay less taxes. That money is what he essentially owes to those institutions he has defrauded, but will he stump up the cash or continue the fight? The question is, can he afford to? And what of the race back to the White House? Does another civil finding against Trump make him less shiny to his supporters, or more relatable as he's seen to be fighting a corrupt system out to get him? Today we find out how Trump is handling his BIG HUGE, MASSIVE loss and whether it makes any difference to the leadership in the U.S.A Want to try our new exercise app?

Over 90% of Australians have a smart phone. And more often than not, they seem to be stuck to our hot little hands, meaning we can be contacted by anyone at anytime, including by our bosses outside of working hours. But that's all about to change. A new law has passed that gives employees a "right to disconnect" from work, ignoring emails and calls outside of work hours. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what it actually looks like and what implications it might have on us when we decide to hit ignore on the bosses calls or leave them on read.

Have you been on TikTok lately and noticed a lot of videos are now silent? That's because Universal Music Group, or UMG, have decided to remove the music they own from the video sharing platform.

We often think about how the kids and parents are coping in those first few days and weeks of school, but what about those who've been back in the classroom way before the students? Teachers have been busy getting the classroom ready for the new influx of faces, learning the names of 30 to 100 children to make sure they don't feel alone in their education experience, sometimes taking money out of their own pockets to ensure those in schools with less funding, have the ability to at least write on something or with something. But despite the difficulties (yes, we include parental interactions in that category) teachers describe the joy they feel when the school year begins again. Want to try our new exercise app?

Elmo becoming the internet's therapist was not on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are! Earlier this week, thousands of people unloaded their life problems on the Sesame Street alumni after he asked “How is everybody doing?” on X. Not well, it seems.

If 2023 was the year of 'quiet luxury', 2024 is the year of 'loud budgeting', which involves openly discussing financial decisions and constraints and feeling proud to say no to spending non-essential money. No longer are we putting ourselves into debt for things we can't afford. Takeout, coffees, food delivery services and streaming are just some of the things Aussies are willing to go without to pinch a few pennies.

When Trent Dalton's best selling book Boy Swallows Universe hit the small screen this year, it brought with it all the Brisbane 1980's vibes with it. As Eli Bell navigates his way through his troubling but beautiful life, he is surrounded by markers of a time gone by, with fat back TV's, cassette players, cars with window winders and landline telephones with a dial. For those who grew up during this time it's a reminder of a simpler life where technology didn't rule our universe, but do we really want to go back to that? And even if we wanted to, could we?

This time next week the 58th Superbowl will be mere hours from starting. The San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will go head to head in Las Vegas. And stepping onto that field is none other than Travis Kelce, aka Taylor Swift's boyfriend! He's vying for his second Superbowl in a row, his third in total. For the Swifties, Taylors appearance at games throughout the NFL season has been an exciting glimpse into her real life. The NFL bros haven't exactly shared that excitement. Taylor Swift is known for her love of "easter eggs". She hides little hints of new music, tour announcements, and everything in between for her fans to discover. It's also worth noting that Taylor's favourite number is 13. In this episode of The Quicky, we'll be breaking down the superstitions and patterns Swiftie's have discovered ahead of the big game that basically guarantees her man will win the Superbowl.

If you're a woman, there's a chance you've probably worn high heels before. So you know how uncomfortable they can be. Yet, for many different reasons, despite the pain, we continue to slip our feet into 4, 6, even 8 inch heels. For some, they make you feel powerful, others like the additional height they provide, some like how they make our butts and legs look. But did you know heels were never intended to walk in? In this episode of The Quicky we're going back in time to understand the history of the high heel, how they were meant for men and whether they are considered a feminist or anti-feminist statement.

We are in the thick of awards season, and so far we've seen a few Aussies take home some pretty impressive accolades. We know Hollywood is chock full of Australians. Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, just to name a few. But arguably the most notable Australian to make it big in Hollywood was the late Heath Ledger. In this episode of The Quicky, as we remember Heath Ledger's passing on January 22 2008, we hear from a friend of the Ledger family and recipient of the Heath Ledger scholarship about just how much Heath did, and still does, for his fellow Aussie actors.

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.

Her entire childhood, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was made to believe she was sick. Her mother, 'Dee Dee' as she was known, told Gypsy, and the world, that her daughter was terminally ill, confined to a wheelchair with her head shaved.

In 2015 Gypsy and her then boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn, whom she met online, plotted to murder Dee Dee. In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the life of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. How she took revenge on her mother, and where she is now. Click here to read Gemma Bath's story about Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story. Want to try our new exercise app?

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?
