If you haven't heard the words Stanley, Frank Green or Yeti lately, you've been living under a rock...Or you don't have social media. 

These three brands of water bottles have taken the world by storm. When a new Stanley cup is released, people camp outside their local target for days to make sure they're able to get their hands on one. 

But it seems you sit in one of four camps when it comes to which vessel you drink your water from. There's the aforementioned Stanley fans, the Frank Green fans, the Yeti fans and then those who are just confused by it all. 

But have you ever wondered what your water bottle says about you? What do people assume about you when your slugging your giant drinking vessel around? In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at exactly what your water bottle says about you. 

To check out Stacey's article about what your water bottle says about you, click here.

We are in the thick of awards season, and so far we've seen a few Aussies take home some pretty impressive accolades. 

We know Hollywood is chock full of Australians. Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, just to name a few. But arguably the most notable Australian to make it big in Hollywood was the late Heath Ledger. 

In this episode of The Quicky, as we remember Heath Ledger's passing on January 22 2008, we hear from a friend of the Ledger family and recipient of the Heath Ledger scholarship about just how much Heath did, and still does, for his fellow Aussie actors.

Tomorrow is January 26 and for many that means a day off work to have a bbq with friends, maybe some fireworks or a trip to the beach with family. 

But for many, January 26 represents a day of pain and suffering for First Nations People. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we discuss the ongoing debate surrounding the 26th of January. The historical significance of the date, its impact on First Nations Australians and the growing conversations around Australia Day.

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the loss of babies, so please take care when listening. 

Earlier this week was the 51 year anniversary of the landmark Roe V Wade decision handed by the US Supreme Court, protecting a persons right to an abortion. 

Fast forward to June 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned that ruling, and the abortion rights of women across the United States were extremely prohibited or gone altogether.

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to an expert in women and girls' rights to see where the women of the US are now and if there is any chance of the decision being overturned soon.
