If you're a bit famous, you must be rich, right? Wrong. Especially in Australia's entertainment industry, where there are fewer big gigs and even scripted television is made for smaller budgets.  So, what has happened to Australia's artists since theatres, pubs and all live entertainment venues have been shut down? In short, they've lost pretty much all their income for the foreseeable future.  To redress this, Stan has commissioned a lockdown comedy festival and we're chatting with its producer and two of its stars about what a comedy career is without an audience.  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Todd Abbott, Creative Director of Guesswork Television; Tom Ballard, Comedian; Nikki Britton, Comedian.  The Australian Comedy Lockdown Festival premieres May 9 on STAN.  Listener Feedback Survey: Take our 5 minute survey for a chance to win a $50 EFTPOS gift card https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5566501/ff2ba2d202a9  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

Jacinda Ardern is equally at home in front of a lectern giving a big speech as she is in her trackies on a Facebook live.  Her navigation of New Zealand's COVID19 Crisis has seen (comparatively) few infections and casualties as a result and 87% of New Zealanders agree they're happy to extend the country's lock down if it means keeping up those statistics.  Ardern's empathy compared to other world leaders seeing this as a battle has been internationally applauded - so does this mean the model for leadership is changing because of her?  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Anke Richter, freelance journalist in New Zealand  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

Kim Jong Un is allegedly sick, we say allegedly because we can't say for sure. In the spirit of North Korean secrecy, the details of the Great Leader's condition is very closely guarded.  It's been revealed he has at least two children, but neither are old enough to be the next leader of North Korea, if Kim Jong Un should die.  Could his sister, Kim Yo Jong, a powerful member of the Workers' Party of Korea be the next leader?  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Leonid Petrov, Senior Lecturer, Postgraduate Program ManagerInternational College of Management Sydney.  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?
