The Quicky

It's been more than 10 years since Reeva Steenkamp was killed by her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius. And recently, he has been granted parole to walk free from jail in 2024. 

There's been multiple versions of events spoken about the night of Valentines Day in 2013, when Oscar shot Reeva through the bathroom door, killing her almost instantly. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we go back 10 years, to the night Reeva was killed and speak with someone who's investigated the evidence to find out exactly what happened on that fatal night.

2020 changed the way we work - most businesses had employees working from home throughout the pandemic. But now, some years on from COVID, despite proving that our productivity increased during that time, we find ourselves still facing the discussion about returning to the office. 

While some employees are actively fighting the full time return to the CBD, others are embracing the return - but not for the reason you might think. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at why people are choosing Friday as the day of choice to be back in the office.

We all know how it feels after a rough night of tossing and turning only to have your alarm clock go off way too soon. 

We now have the technology on our wrists to track our sleep patterns, providing us with data to show exactly how deep, long and restful our sleep is, but what if you're not getting good sleep? We know sleep is one of the most important aspects of a journey to good health, so what damage does a bad nights sleep do to us. 

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at how we can recover from a bad sleep and how to ensure we get the most out of our shut-eye for the rest of 2023.

Since the beginning of human existence, we have had a relationship with the afterlife and those who reportedly inhabit it.

We tell stories of those spirits who aren't able to transition into the next life, spending their time tied to this one, haunting the people who remain, but there is an important role that telling ghost stories has on the psyche of humans.

Could the paranormal and supernatural give us perspective on our place in the universe?

It's Black Friday - the day where retailers all around the world slash their prices so we can snap up a bargain! 

While you might be tempted to splash some cash today, there are others who are teaching themselves not to get sucked in by unnecessary purchases. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how people are staring down a cost of living crisis with money saving ideas that we may not have considered and whether we might be able to learn a thing or two about watching how we spend our money, even on Black Friday.
