Has Prince Harry Shattered Our Royal Family Fantasy?
We have been exposed to a whole lot of Sussex of late. Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare hit the shelves a week ago, and it seems we can't get enough. We've heard about a physical altercation with Prince William, his time in the military and we even got a peak inside the time Harry lost his virginity. But, not all his stories have been well received. In this episode we look at why Harry's exposés have been a little too much for some to swallow and what happens now he's put all that dirty laundry on display.

Behind The Mic: A Day In The Life Of A Quicky Host
Today, instead of what’s happening in the news cycle, we’re getting you up to speed on what happens in the day-to-day lives of those who host The Quicky. There are three voices that you will hear on The Quicky throughout the year, Claire Murphy's mostly and then two other incredible journalists, Gemma Bath and Emma Gillespie. All three of us managed to get in the same room at the same time and have a conversation about what we do every day, who we loved to speak to, who we may have offended and what it was like to wake up one morning at 4am and find out the Queen had died. So sit back and enjoy, The Quicky behind the scenes. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

2022 Year In Review: Well, It's Been A Ride
Welcome to The Quicky, where in this special extended episode, we are getting you up to speed on the year that was 2022. We've had devastating floods, a new Prime Minister, the invasion of Ukraine and the death of a Queen. It's been a hell of a ride for Australia and the world so today we remember the year that we finally talked less about covid even though it never really went away, where we paid more for everything but also got the interest rate hikes we were told we had to have, and we said goodbye to some of the biggest names in music and showbiz.

How To Avoid The Travel Chaos This Christmas
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year for many of us, but it also might be one of the worst if you’re at an airport. This year is set to be no exception. With flight prices, delays & cancellations all having increased- there’s no better time than to have a strategy in place for taking your flight. Today we speak to two people who have just boarded or are about to board their flights home for Christmas & what strategies they used to avoid the mayhem that is taking a flight over the Christmas period. We also speak to CEO of the Australian Airports Association, James Goodwin on why some of these issues are occurring and how best to prepare for them. Yes, that might mean getting to the airport a lot earlier than usual for a domestic flight. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

No Santa, No Worries! 4 Women Who Don't Celebrate Christmas
In Australia at this time of year, it’s pretty difficult to avoid anything Christmas. Every store is decked out with decorations, gifts, Christmas related food items, carols play on the PA system and some even have a resident Santa. It’s the focus of end of year work parties, school events and concerts… but what if you don't celebrate it? Today we speak to three people who do not get into the Christmas spirit (well not entirely), how they feel being surrounded by it 24/7 and what the last few weeks of the year look like for them here in a multicultural but very Christmas heavy Australia.
