The Quicky

There's no denying that 2022 was a big year for weddings. After two years of COVID-19 forcing couples to downsize, postpone or completely cancel their big day, we experienced a wedding boom and 2023 is set to be no different.  Wedding experts everywhere are putting together their lists of ins and outs for couples planning to tie the knot this year.  In this episode of The Quicky we speak to a wedding expert and some 2023 brides about what's hot and what's not when it comes to their big day.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Finding somewhere to rent in any city or town across Australia is proving to be difficult in 2023.  There are hundreds of hopeful applicants arriving at viewings, some offering to pay a year in advance or way above the asking price to secure a property. Even those with pristine rental histories, great references and more than enough income to support them aren't getting accepted for homes, leaving us to imagine how much harder it is for those who don't have all of those things backing them.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at why we don't have enough houses to go around and what can be done to ensure everyone has a roof over their heads.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

You may have heard about the crime wave being experienced by the residents of Alice Springs. Some people, including the Mayor of Alice Springs, say the end of the alcohol ban is to blame for the recent rise in violent crime.  Some residents are calling for a return to previous legislation that bans alcohol sales in some communities - but does removing alcohol remove the crime?  In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the politics of alcohol and why it's hit the centre of Australia so hard.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Artificial intelligence, or A.I, has a lot of people nervous about just how much it can really do.  Here at Mamamia, we've put ChatGPT to the test and the results were almost scary.  In this episode of The Quicky, we're talking about the incredible advancements in artificial intelligence and how they're becoming so smart that they're starting to blur the lines between human and machine.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Jelena Dokic has been on our screens this past fortnight commentating at the Australian Open: a job that she is more than qualified to do.  Having been ranked number 4 in the world at just 19 years old, we know she knows her tennis.  So why is it that she's been relentlessly trolled this month? Jelena posted on her social media a number of comments she's been hit with, some calling her names, others calling for her to be taken off the broadcast, and some telling her to stop eating.  Jelena no longer fits in the acceptability window for a woman on tv. And in this episode of The Quicky, we find out why women aren't taken seriously unless they fit a certain look.  Warning: This episode mentions suicide and disordered eating.
