You've probably seen the videos going viral at the moment that show random acts of kindness. Whether it's a bunch of flowers for a surprised stranger, or paying someone's entire shopping bill. These videos are then posted online for millions to see. But, is it truly kind to post a video without the subjects consent? What are the impacts? On this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Dr Clare Southerton, a lecturer in Digital Technology and Pedagogy at La Trobe University about how uploading a video of someone could change how they live.

On July 17 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally got married, two decades after they first became engaged, but their incredible reunion has been somewhat overshadowed by JLo's decision to change her name to Mrs Jennifer Lynne Affleck. Despite the happy occasion, the internet exploded with people complaining about her 'giving in to the patriarchy' and expressing disappointment at the very personal decision of a woman that most of us will never meet, but why do we care? The Quicky speaks to an entertainment expert and a relationships guru to find out why the decision whether or not to change our name after marriage is still so contentious for women in 2022, and whether doing it really does mean you're not a feminist.

This week, records were broken in the UK when the temperature soared into the high 30's and even surpassed 40 degrees celsius in some areas for the first time ever, causing chaos for ambulance services and fire crews who battled widespread heat exhaustion and wildfires. Despite the threat to human life and property, many Aussies were scoffing at the British for not being able to handle a couple of days of temperatures that we deal with every summer, but is that really fair given their country is not designed to cope with extreme heat? The Quicky speaks to a climate expert to find out why even just a couple of days of 40+ degrees caused such devastation in Britain, and what could happen if heatwaves such as this become increasingly common in Europe.

Last month, public outrage exploded when it was revealed that former NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro was appointed to a $500,000 a year taxpayer funded trade job in New York that he created while in Parliament. He subsequently was forced to give up the role after two inquiries were launched looking into how he got the job, both of which remain ongoing. The Quicky speaks to an Australian politics expert to find out how often ex pollies are given these plum roles, and if the public has any recourse to stop them.

With the Government and health experts warning that a third wave of Covid-19 is about to hit Australia, and as the cold winter drags on, many of us are starting to think more about the long term impacts of Covid-19 on our body. But what do we really know or not know about 'Long Covid' here in Australia? It seems like several other countries have been talking about this for a long time, but it's only just starting to enter public discussion here. The Quicky speaks to an expert epidemiologist to find out what exactly Long Covid is, the factors that determine who gets it and who doesn't, and if there's anything you can do to minimise the risk of ongoing symptoms for you and your family.

You might have heard that Aussie farmers have grave concerns that people coming back from their holidays in Bali might be risking bringing a virus back with them, no not Covid-19, but another disease called Foot and Mouth (FMD). But what exactly is FMD, how do you pick it up, is it a risk to your health, and what can you do to stop it from being introduced into Australia?

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has finally announced his resignation as Conservative Party leader after 50 MPs and senior colleagues quit over his latest scandal, involving the appointment of an MP to a top job even though Boris knew he was accused of sexual misconduct.

The Quicky speaks to a former British MP who spent nearly two decades serving the public to find out how Boris Johnson managed to rise to power despite a litany of affairs and controversies, and who is now battling it out to replace him.

More and more sporting codes are introducing new bans on trans women who want to participate in those sports at an elite level, but why has this suddenly become an issue, and how many people are really going to be impacted? Some have argued it is necessary to maintain fairness in women's sport, but for others, this is just another excuse to target and marginalise an already vulnerable and often ostracised community. The Quicky speaks to a professional trans woman athlete to find out what impact these bans are really having on the LGBTQIA+ community, and whether there might be a fairer solution for all involved.
