    News That's Not Boring
    Great mix of topics over the months/years I have listened to The Quicky. The team makes hard work look easy. I like having the options of the shorter news updates and the longer episodes. Sometimes I want one or the other. Sometimes I want both. Excellent program. Thank you from America.

    Gushy girls who conflate good weather with fulfillment
    These people seem to buy H & M story hook line and sinker. One example: the only rival court is H 8 M vs the united family. These podcasters don’t seem bothered by lack of credible evidence and don’t question unsubstantiated claims of planted negative stories. I guess taking private jets when lecturing sustainability the main negative press they got at that time was planted. Mainly theses podcasters expect us to believe a production that alters QE2’s speech to make her look racist over our own eyes and experience. We see in real time H 8 M attack the royal family knowing they can’t fight back. We are watching it happen in front of our eyes but are bamboozled into thinking the opposite is true. So I give this podcast low stars due to a per veined lack of critical thinking and willingness to conflate gloss with substance. No wonder they idealize H & M.

    Thanks Sal C
    Love the show! I so appreciate such thoughtful & balanced commentary - that I can trust! It’s helping me to acclimate back to Australia after 10 yrs away in the US. Thanks for the recommendation from Singapore Sal C!

    My daily slice of news from home
    Part of my daily routine! Living away from Australia makes it hard to keep up with news from home. The Quicky makes doing that just so simple and enjoyable. It’s my little slice of Straya everyday. Keep them coming!

    The perfect morning quicky
    I LOVE this podcast! It’s a great way to get a snapshot of the daily headlines and then a really interesting “deep dive” into one current topic of interest. I learn something new every time I listen. Thank you so much!

    Repeated News
    I like the feature article of each episode, but the upfront news section isn’t unique each day, they are repeated...not really news if it’s a repeat. Update: news is dependent on which day you download the episode...so if you download multiple episodes at once they all have the same news.

    Loving this podcast
    Loving the format Wish ppl would stop commenting on the news being the same .... it has been explained - if you listen daily it’s differently daily. If you binge listen once a week all news cuts are the same - it’s smart tech updates daily. Keep up the awesome work Mamamia.
