  • 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 + We Need To Talk About Strangulation
Q: But what, according to the law, is strangulation?
Professor Douglas explains that strangulation is defined by hindering blood or breath flow to the brain, achieved through suffocation, neck pressure, or choking, and that legal consent is complicated by the fact injuries are often not visible.
Your AM Headlines + How's Your Death Literacy?
Q: How often do you think about your own funeral? Would you want everyone in black or is it a celebration of life?
Dr. Noonan explains that death literacy is about understanding end-of-life options and taking action, and that many Australians lack knowledge about palliative care and planning, which is why tools and conversations are important.
Your AM Headlines + A Non-Shouty Guide To The Immigration Debate
Q: What is the macro moment driving immigration to the forefront right now?
The housing crisis and broader economic malaise are making immigration a focal point, with people using immigration as a convenient explanation for broader economic problems while neglecting underlying productivity and policy framework.
I Know The Day My Mum Is Going To Die: Dr Ginni's Special Series
Q: Can you explain, Ginni, what you mean by, you know she's going to die in three weeks?
Ginni describes the timeline as a real and concrete plan where her mother would be at the hospital, receive the needle that delivers the final medication, and enter the end-of-life process through voluntary assisted dying, highlighting the emotional clarity and the medical framework surrounding the choice.
Your AM Headlines + The At-Home Testing Boom
Q: What is driving the shift toward at-home health testing in Australia?
The combination of longstanding DIY testing practices (like fertility and pregnancy tests) and newer regulatory approvals, plus greater access to information online, has made people more inclined to test themselves at home for a broader range of health issues.
