    Don’t Charge Your Phone Overnight, A Real Warning Or Tech Myth?

    You've heard all the stories about how you're supposed to treat your technology right? Like not charging your phone overnight, or near your body. That Siri and Alexa are always listening and tracking us. Or that you dump your phone in rice when it's wet. 

    So what exactly is the truth? 

    In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with our resident tech expert, Trevor Long, to find out the fact from fiction when it comes to our devices.

    From MAFS To MKR: Confessions Of A Reality TV Producer

    From MAFS To MKR: Confessions Of A Reality TV Producer

    They're the puppet masters of our favourite reality TV shows.

    From the moment a celeb is recruited or a person is plucked from obscurity to star in the latest cooking, dating or survival show, Reality TV producers are back there, pulling the strings, recruiting the biggest personalities and making sure each and every episode will be packed full of drama and scandal.

    So why do they do it? What war stories can they share? And who are worse, the normies or the celebs? Reality TV producers spill the tea on what really happens behind the reality TV curtain from MAFS to MKR and Masterchef.

    Sam Kerr's Reverse Racism - It's Not A Thing

    Sam Kerr's Reverse Racism - It's Not A Thing

    Sam Kerr. We know her. We love her. But our love was called into question this week, when it was revealed that in January last year, after our star Matilda had been out celebrating, a drunken taxi ride in Twickenham ended with her throwing up and allegedly arguing with the cabbie over the fare. 

    Police were then called where Kerr reportedly got into an altercation with a white police officer, allegedly calling him a 'stupid white bastard'. She's since been charged with racially aggravated harassment. 

    But what exactly constitutes racism? Can a person of colour be racist towards a white person? 

    In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at exactly this with Craig Foster, who admits to reevaluating his initial opinions of Sam following the news.

I love the Quicky!

I’m an Aussie living in the U.K. and this (along with MMOL) helps keep me up to date on key issues in Oz when I chat to my family and friends! I’ve learned so much and love your voice every morning Claire Murphy!

Great bite sized podcast

I started listening to this podcast (from the UK) a few months ago and find it casts a different slant on the news to that in the UK. Quality reporting without waffle. And a great accent!
