The Quicky

Six years. That's how long Vladimir Putin will remain in power in Russia... for now. Earlier this week he was victorious in the country's election - winning in a landslide result of 87.3%. But why did Russia even hold an election when it was almost certain that Putin would be re-elected?  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what happens now for Russia and the rest of the world, particularly Ukraine, as well as claims of a rigged election.  Want to try our new exercise app?

The Lady Vanishes Podcast has kept us on the edge of our seat for the past 5 years as it investigated the case of missing Australian woman Marion Barter.  Five years later, that podcast has come to an end. But are we any closer to knowing the truth about what really happened to Marion?  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to the executive producer of The Lady Vanishes, about the decades worth of evidence they sifted through and what was realised since the investigation began.  To listen to episode one of The Lady Vanishes, click here.

They're the puppet masters of our favourite reality TV shows. From the moment a celeb is recruited or a person is plucked from obscurity to star in the latest cooking, dating or survival show, Reality TV producers are back there, pulling the strings, recruiting the biggest personalities and making sure each and every episode will be packed full of drama and scandal. So why do they do it? What war stories can they share? And who are worse, the normies or the celebs? Reality TV producers spill the tea on what really happens behind the reality TV curtain from MAFS to MKR and Masterchef.  Want to try our new exercise app?

Sam Kerr. We know her. We love her. But our love was called into question this week, when it was revealed that in January last year, after our star Matilda had been out celebrating, a drunken taxi ride in Twickenham ended with her throwing up and allegedly arguing with the cabbie over the fare.  Police were then called where Kerr reportedly got into an altercation with a white police officer, allegedly calling him a 'stupid white bastard'. She's since been charged with racially aggravated harassment.  But what exactly constitutes racism? Can a person of colour be racist towards a white person?  In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at exactly this with Craig Foster, who admits to reevaluating his initial opinions of Sam following the news.  Want to try our new exercise app?
