While many of us grew up watching it every weekday on TV, the impact of the show extends well beyond our borders, having presented a version of Aussie life that was so appealing it even encouraged people to move here from overseas.

We've successfully shown our bosses that we can work from home quite efficiently since the pandemic forced us to pivot our work lives, but are we missing out on things as we gain others? While many say the work life balance they have achieved since moving to a work from home model has been a game changer, but there may be other ways in which those who are working remotely, especially women, may be missing out on career progression. The Quicky team speaks to an expert to find out how you can keep moving up at work without having to move back into the office. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

On July 17 Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finally got married, two decades after they first became engaged, but their incredible reunion has been somewhat overshadowed by JLo's decision to change her name to Mrs Jennifer Lynne Affleck. Despite the happy occasion, the internet exploded with people complaining about her 'giving in to the patriarchy' and expressing disappointment at the very personal decision of a woman that most of us will never meet, but why do we care? The Quicky speaks to an entertainment expert and a relationships guru to find out why the decision whether or not to change our name after marriage is still so contentious for women in 2022, and whether doing it really does mean you're not a feminist.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

In around 15 minutes, you and your little ones will all be up to speed on what’s happening in the world, including a sports wrap, perfect for your commute to Saturday sport. In this episode, we find out exactly what scientists do and don't know about 'Long Covid' and why some people continue to have symptoms long after their initial infection while others don't. Then we discover what exactly the rules are if you're lucky enough to find something valuable on the street or at a beach, are finders really keepers? And then we speak to an amazing female athlete to talk about body positivity in sport, and why everyone should feel great about themselves on the pitch or in the pool, no matter what you look like.
