  • Improving

    Got a bit tired of the show but new format seems better though it’s early days. More stories and less going on about stuff which doesn’t concern me. Prefer Taylor.

  • Quality dropped

    I feared as soon as it was announced Claire was leaving The Quickie that the quality would drop. What have happened to the deep dives on current news stories? The last few mornings have just had celebrity news with interviews from your own staff. What has happened to the interview with experts? Office air, reminiscing about Friends and a rehash from Parenting Outloud about Beta Mums is not why I subscribed to The Quicky. I want updates related to real and current stories, not just another celebr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your AM Headlines + A Breakthrough Against Australia's Biggest Killer
Q: What makes the P-Tau-217 blood test a breakthrough compared to existing methods?
It provides a quick, blood-based indication of early brain changes associated with Alzheimer's, potentially allowing earlier intervention without invasive procedures like lumbar punctures or expensive imaging, and it could be implemented widely within months.
Your AM Headlines + Why More Of Us Are Losing Trust In Each Other
Q: So why are we distrusting of each other now, and how can we rebuild that trust?
The guest explains that our trust levels are shaped by early childhood experiences and a psychology blueprint we carry, but rebuilding trust involves gradually increasing vulnerability, changing daily interactions (like greeting strangers), and deliberately forming new connections.
Your AM Headlines + So, Why Did Australia Just Fail Its Latest Women’s Health Check?
Q: How long does it take you to get to the point of your medical woes while meeting with a doctor, and could bulk-billing pressure affect the consult?
The episode argues that bulk-billing constraints often shorten consultations to around six minutes, which hampers thorough discussion, undermines trust, and makes shared decision-making challenging; remedy involves improving time and financial structures to support longer, more patient-centered visits.
Aussie Travellers Warned As Europe Burns & What Today's National Emergency Alarm Means For You
Q: Why is safe-phone technology important, and how does OzAlert improve on older SMS systems?
Safe phones are crucial for emergency contact without tipping off an abuser, and OzAlert uses a newer platform that avoids network congestion and can deliver messages more quickly and reliably when networks are stressed.
Aussie Travellers Warned As Europe Burns & What Today's National Emergency Alarm Means For You
Q: What are the big concerns here when it comes to victim survivors and safety with this test, and I guess this technology as well going forward?
The risk is that hidden safety phones could be detected by perpetrators when the alert sounds, potentially endangering survivors. The advice is to keep safety phones turned off or in flight mode unless needed, to prevent unintentional exposure during the test.
