On May 21, Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 was flying 211 passengers when it hit some unexpected turbulence. Many passengers suffered head and spinal injuries, and sadly one passed away after it's believed his heart gave out.  But what happened? What is turbulence? Can pilots avoid it? Is it deadly?  In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the report explaining exactly what happened to flight SQ321, if turbulence is getting worse, and if so, what can we do about it?  THE END BITS  Subscribe to Mamamia Listen: The Tough Conversation We Need To Have To Keep Our Kids Safe GET IN TOUCH Share your story, feedback, or dilemma! Send us a voice note or email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au and one of our Podcast Producers will come back to you ASAP.

On Sunday night, families living in a makeshift tent city in the Tel Al-Sultan neighbourhood in the southern Gaza city of Rafah were settling in for the night when airstrikes hit, burning their camps to the ground, killing dozens of civilians.  This was supposed to be a safe zone for people already displaced by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.  In this episode of The Quicky, we take you to the streets of Rafah to look at what will happen to the displaced Palestinians who now have nowhere to go.  THE END BITS  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Share your story, feedback, or dilemma! Send us a voice note or email us at podcast@mamamia.com.au and one of our Podcast Producers will come back to you ASAP.

"I wish you could experience it so you would really understand" Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has often been summed up as a person being extremely tidy, or having a quirk where they repeat the same action multiple times. But for people living with the anxiety disorder, it can be crippling.

You’d be forgiven for thinking Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were back in the royal fold, given their recent tour of Nigeria. But alas, they’re still out of favour with the current working royals. But wasn’t this hybrid working model of royal-but-not-fully-royal life what the Sussex's suggested to the Queen back when they were trying to move out of the family fold? Have they shown up the struggling firm by exposing how it could have been for them had they kept the couple on the books? The Quicky team looks into whether this Invictus Games tour of the African nation, is a political manoeuvre or a diversion tactic.

Mamamia this episode is so disappointing... fear mongering. You should look into how hard it actually is under the law to get a warrant to track or listen to a person. Police can not just track their ex's. This was a horrible one sided podcast episode that doesn't focus on the need for these powers to actually protect the community. So disappointing.

Great episode! In addition I would have loved to hear more about other symptoms before or during menstruation. In particular mental challenges such as mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression (PMS/PMDD), which are so common, but so little talked about.

I'm legally blind, thankfully my husband is my carrer, when we go into the public, we do get treated in a negative way by some people, we have dealt with prejudice, I agree, disabled people are treated differently, it's why I don't go out much, I used to love going out.

Much rather be back in the office. I like the clear separation between work and home life, being able to switch off for the day and head home.

My heart and an enormous amount of gratitude goes out to all our health care workers who have all the same fears we all have, yet front up each day and put themselves and loved ones at higher risk. What a huge amount of stress added to an already stressful job. You are doing an amazing job and I’m sure every Australian would agree. Thank you so very much.

A comment routinely rolled out is that we are only 1.3% of emissions so whatever we do has no effect anyway. This episode does not address how this.

episode 123, I understand what it's like to live on centerlink, I get a disability payment, it barely covers living costs, everything goes up, but the payment dosen't, would love to work, but it's hard when you're legally blind.

I listened to this with an open mind, however got no new answers. 'Shame, shame' is valid.

Major issue with the current news segment that's spliced in - I was listening the other week and without warning, and only a single day after the episode's release, there was explicit Game of Thrones spoiler. It might not matter to some but when someone is listening to an episode recorded in February there shouldn't be a current-time spoiler just added in without concern for listeners. Thanks for spoiling the Night King for me and no doubt others.

i wish your news section was not a 'smart' podcast because if we don't download each episode everyday day, wgen we catch up on the ones we missed, we then have to listen to the same news over and over.. its quite frustrating. plus I would rather catch up on old news that I missed!
