  • 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 + Ask Us Anything About Australian Politics
Q: Why are voters turning to One Nation and what does this mean for the establishment parties?
Voters appear drawn to a third option due to concerns about living standards and trust in major parties, with One Nation seen as challenging the status quo, though the broader anti-establishment mood is mixed with debates about immigration and policy details.
Your AM Headlines + Meet The Senator Who Turned Her Worst Weeks Into a National Inquiry
Q: Senator, thank you so much for being here today. If we could perhaps start with your own story, can you tell us what happened after the birth of your son?
I describe a profound postpartum experience where initial joy was followed by severe breastfeeding difficulties, chronic pain, and anxiety, leading me to recognize the need for better support and to advocate for changes that support women through this period.
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.
