The Quicky

Earlier this week 6 people, including 3 children, were murdered when someone opened fire in a school in Nashville.  Australian actress Tammin Sursok lives in Nashville and received a call that no parent would ever wish to answer. Her daughter's school was in lockdown because there was an active shooter.  In this episode of The Quicky we speak to Tammin about what that moment was like, and if anything can be done to reverse Americas obsession with the second amendment.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Since it first aired, the hit TV show Succession - which follows the internal power struggles of a rich family and their media empire - has had people speculating over whether the show is based on the Australian media moguls, the Murdochs. But just how much of the script is actually based on the Murdoch family? The final season begins tonight, fans hoping to finally see how this power hungry family pans out and who will end up controlling Waystar Royco.  In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to Paddy Manning, a journalist who has covered the Murdoch family for decades to find out where the real life Murdochs and fictional Roy family's lives align. What will happen when Rupert marries for the fifth 'and final' time? And what happens when the family patriarch dies?  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

We've been hearing a lot about anti trans rallies happening around the country this week. A British Women's Rights activist has been holding speaking engagements outside Parliament Houses, attracting groups aligned with the material she's sharing. In Melbourne, Neo-Nazi's showed up and shared the space with a local Liberal MP.  So who is this activist? Are her words about spreading hate? Or does she really want to make spaces safer for women? In this episode of The Quicky we speak to trans non-binary activist and Deni Todorovič about how they feel being at the centre of an anti trans storm.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
