In just two months, the FIFA Women's World Cup will kick off, with games taking place across Australia & New Zealand.  But given the current economic climate and the cost of living crisis, there are concerns that hosting such a major event may not be a wise investment.  In this episode of The Quicky, we delve into the costs and benefits of hosting the world's largest women's sporting event, examining whether the rewards will outweigh the expenses in the long run.

We already know that being sexually abused and harassed by your colleagues is against the law. But as we've been finding out in recent years, there are some industries where these behaviours are left unchecked.  This week, one of the court cases linked to sexual assaults in Australia's mine sites ended with a guilty verdict.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what this means for others who are still fighting for justice and whether the reviews, inquiries and guilty findings have done anything to change the culture where we dig up the ground.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

A few weeks ago the news broke that Taylor Swift had broken up with long term partner, Joe Alwyn...not long after, the rumour mill was spinning stories of a multitude of men Taylor was apparently dating, one being lead singer of the 1975, Matty Healey.  Taylor Swift is one of a string of celebrities who we can't seem to allow to just be single. Jennifer Anniston, Emma Watson, Mindy Kaling, just to name a few. We are constantly monitoring these ladies to see if they have finally paired off in a way that suits us.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at why there are certain stars we just can't accept being single and why people are so invested in the romantic lives of Hollywood.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Have you heard of 'Birth Control Tik Tok?' It's the side of TikTok showing influencers promoting "natural" birth control and encouraging women to stop taking hormonal contraceptives.  There's varying degrees of scientific accuracy in their claims - and theories that they are playing into the global shift towards right wing politics that is starting to limit women's control over their own bodies.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look into why some people are demonising the pill and if hormonal contraception is really the enemy.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

At what age did you start to achieve those milestones that would be a confirmed step into adulthood?  Things like getting your first full time job, getting your drivers license or having your first real relationship? A new concept claims that today's emerging adults are delaying some or all of those traditional adult achievements by adopting what's called a 'slow life strategy'. In this episode of The Quicky, we're looking at the shift in how we view the age at which we should be getting on with our adult lives.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!
