Jacinda Ardern is equally at home in front of a lectern giving a big speech as she is in her trackies on a Facebook live.  Her navigation of New Zealand's COVID19 Crisis has seen (comparatively) few infections and casualties as a result and 87% of New Zealanders agree they're happy to extend the country's lock down if it means keeping up those statistics.  Ardern's empathy compared to other world leaders seeing this as a battle has been internationally applauded - so does this mean the model for leadership is changing because of her?  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Anke Richter, freelance journalist in New Zealand  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

Kim Jong Un is allegedly sick, we say allegedly because we can't say for sure. In the spirit of North Korean secrecy, the details of the Great Leader's condition is very closely guarded.  It's been revealed he has at least two children, but neither are old enough to be the next leader of North Korea, if Kim Jong Un should die.  Could his sister, Kim Yo Jong, a powerful member of the Workers' Party of Korea be the next leader?  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests:  Leonid Petrov, Senior Lecturer, Postgraduate Program ManagerInternational College of Management Sydney.  CONTACT US Got a topic you'd like us to cover?

Masterchef is back filling us with a strange combination of warmth, happiness and a ton of tension.  Today on The Quicky, we go behind the scenes of the show to find out how filming is going with social distancing rules now in place, whether it will be obvious when those kick in and will it take away from the 'feels' the show delivers in spades.  Subscribe to The Quicky at... https://mamamia.com.au/the-quicky/ CREDITS  Host/Producer: Claire Murphy  Executive Producer: Melanie Tait Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri  Guests: Jock Zonfrillo, Masterchef judge; Dani Venn, Masterchef contestant; Laura Brodnik, Mamamia Entertainment Editor.
