Keeping up with the daily news cycle can be hard, especially if you have little ones who need your constant attention, so we’ve created a new show to get you and your family up to speed, weekly.

In this episode, we chat to two music and entertainment gurus to find out how singer-songwriter Halsey exposed the pressure that musicians are under to create viral TikTok videos.

Then we speak to an expert psychologist about why it's so hard not to fight with our brothers and sisters.

And the Head Coach of the amazing CommBank ParaMatildas tells us about about their recent record-breaking success at the World Cup in Spain and what's next for these incredible athletes.

In just 15 minutes, you and your little ones will all be up to speed on what’s happening in the world, including a sports wrap, perfect for your commute to Saturday sport.

Last month, one of the music industry's biggest artists, Halsey posted a video on her social media that was viewed by 8 million people in just 24 hours, but not for the reasons her record label was hoping.

After she spoke out about not being allowed to release her new song unless they could 'fake' a viral moment on TikTok, numerous other artists came forward to say they too were being pressured to create content instead of focusing on their music.

The Quicky speaks to two entertainment and music experts to find out whether the music industry has now become so commercialised that it's actually no longer about the songs, and all about the likes and social media following, and what musicians can do to push back.

Squabbling with your siblings is pretty common when you're kids, but what happens if that escalates into a full-blown rivalry, or something even worse when you become adults?

Is it inevitable that you will always feel in some kind of competition with your brothers and sisters, or can some siblings have fantastic relationships throughout their lives? Is it a case of nurture rather than nature, meaning that parents can take steps to ensure you get along?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in family relationships to find out what the psychology behind sibling rivalry is, and what both parents and kids can do to stop it before it escalates.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's divorce has been one of the most acrimonious in Hollywood history, and their recent defamation trial in the US made for compelling viewing for millions of people who were firmly on "Team Johnny".

But wile the case may now be over, for many other survivors of domestic violence the fallout from the jury's verdict is only just beginning, as millions of women will now find it harder than ever to speak out against their abuser.

The Quicky speaks to two domestic violence experts, and a survivor about why the true cost of this case is going to be about a lot more than $15 million dollars.
