Australian actress Tammin Sursok lives in Nashville and received a call that no parent would ever wish to answer. Her daughter's school was in lockdown because there was an active shooter.

Since it first aired, the hit TV show Succession - which follows the internal power struggles of a rich family and their media empire - has had people speculating over whether the show is based on the Australian media moguls, the Murdochs. But just how much of the script is actually based on the Murdoch family? The final season begins tonight, fans hoping to finally see how this power hungry family pans out and who will end up controlling Waystar Royco. In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Paddy Manning, a journalist who has covered the Murdoch family for decades to find out where the real life Murdochs and fictional Roy family's lives align. What will happen when Rupert marries for the fifth 'and final' time? And what happens when the family patriarch dies? Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

We've been hearing a lot about anti trans rallies happening around the country this week. A British Women's Rights activist has been holding speaking engagements outside Parliament Houses, attracting groups aligned with the material she's sharing. In Melbourne, Neo-Nazi's showed up and shared the space with a local Liberal MP. So who is this activist? Are her words about spreading hate? Or does she really want to make spaces safer for women? In this episode of The Quicky we speak to trans non-binary activist and Deni Todorovič about how they feel being at the centre of an anti trans storm. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Right now, it's Harmony Week here in Australia, and March 21 marks Harmony Day, a day where businesses, schools and organisations are told to wear orange in celebration of Australia's recognition of diversity and multiculturalism. The federal government's website labels it as a day which celebrates "our diversity, and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds". But March 21 is not recognised as 'Harmony Day' anywhere else in the world. In fact, it's observed as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the dark origins of March 21. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Since November last year between 800-1200 schoolgirls across Iran have been falling ill. It's a terrifying crisis, and one who don't have answers for yet. There are theories as to why this is happening, from targeted attacks, to mass hysteria. But under it all, is a fear that this is retribution for daring to speak out against the regime.

How often are women's health conditions misdiagnosed? Well, it turns out, quite often. The medical system all over the world has been, and remains, led by men, for men, using men as the yardstick for conditions and the medicines to treat them. That means women are at risk of adverse reactions to medications, different outcomes to surgery and treatment and misdiagnosis all due to gender bias. In this episode of The Quicky we look at how we deal with a system that's supposed to help us and heal us, when it may not even really know what's going on with us in the first place.

Over the weekend Prince Harry was back doing yet another interview. This time with Dr Gabor Maté, an expert in trauma and childhood development who diagnosed him with a disorder on a live stream. But how can someone he's only met twice throw out a diagnosis without properly assessing him? What implications are there for those watching, and for Harry himself? What do we need to know before we're too quick to self-diagnose?

There's a reason we call dogs "man's (and woman's of course) best friend". They're loyal, loving and oftentimes, considered to be an additional family member. They can sniff out disease, drugs, bombs, money. They pull heavy weights. They catch criminals. Some dogs even provide a service for people with disabilities, like guide or anxiety dogs. So we know dogs are remarkable. They can be trained to do incredible things. But can a dog, who just lives in your house to be loved by you, actually be beneficial to our mental, emotional and physical health? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert to find out what health benefits our fur babies can provide for us. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Last week Queensland put forward a proposal to relax the states drug laws by expanding the Police Drug Diversion Program. The program would protect drug offenders found with less than 50 grams of all drugs from being prosecuted, and instead push them into professional help. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at whether drugs should be looked at as a health issue instead of a criminal one and how relaxing the rules could lead to a healthier community.

For the very first time, World Pride is being held in Australia. And while the LGBTQIA+ is being encouraged and given a platform to celebrate along with their allies, there is a stage in Australia where the rainbow flag still sparks controversy. A lot of sporting codes in Australia include an annual Pride round in their fixtures, where players are asked to don the rainbow flag either on their arm bands, guernseys, jerseys or elsewhere. But, some players refuse to wear the symbol and choose to instead boycott that game. In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an athlete who is in a same-sex relationship whose teammate declined to wear a rainbow guernsey for their Pride round to find out how you navigate your sporting career with a teammate who publicly doesn't the LGBTQIA+ community.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Matilda", "The BFG", "James and the Giant Peach" these are just some of Roald Dahl's most famous stories written for kids all around the world. Last week we heard the news that Puffin, the British publishing house, is releasing new editions of Dahl's children's stories that have been rewritten to suit modern sensibilities, changing some words in an effort to not offend readers. The words "fat" and "ugly" have gone and gendered phrases switched like the Cloud-Men becming Cloud-People. These changes have caused quite a stir online - with many taking to social media to post their anger. In today's episode, we take a look at whether we should be sanitising our history and why got so upset over a few small words. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
