When Trent Dalton's best selling book Boy Swallows Universe hit the small screen this year, it brought with it all the Brisbane 1980's vibes with it.

As Eli Bell navigates his way through his troubling but beautiful life, he is surrounded by markers of a time gone by, with fat back TV's, cassette players, cars with window winders and landline telephones with a dial.

For those who grew up during this time it's a reminder of a simpler life where technology didn't rule our universe, but do we really want to go back to that? And even if we wanted to, could we?

The Quicky team investigates what it would take to turn back tech time.

This time next week the 58th Superbowl will be mere hours from starting. The San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will go head to head in Las Vegas. 

And stepping onto that field is none other than Travis Kelce, aka Taylor Swift's boyfriend! He's vying for his second Superbowl in a row, his third in total. 

For the Swifties, Taylors appearance at games throughout the NFL season has been an exciting glimpse into her real life. The NFL bros haven't exactly shared that excitement. 

Taylor Swift is known for her love of "easter eggs". She hides little hints of new music, tour announcements, and everything in between for her fans to discover. It's also worth noting that Taylor's favourite number is 13. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we'll be breaking down the superstitions and patterns Swiftie's have discovered ahead of the big game that basically guarantees her man will win the Superbowl.

If you're a woman, there's a chance you've probably worn high heels before. So you know how uncomfortable they can be. 

Yet, for many different reasons, despite the pain, we continue to slip our feet into 4, 6, even 8 inch heels. For some, they make you feel powerful, others like the additional height they provide, some like how they make our butts and legs look. But did you know heels were never intended to walk in? 

In this episode of The Quicky we're going back in time to understand the history of the high heel, how they were meant for men and whether they are considered a feminist or anti-feminist statement.
