"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. On today's episode of The Quicky we hear from someone with lived experience of OCD and also an expert to help us understand more about an often overlooked condition.

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.

Warning: Please note this episode discusses domestic violence and an assault. If that is triggering for you, please take care when listening. A video was recently leaked to US news service CNN of a man in a towel assaulting his girlfriend in a hotel hallway in 2016. That man is Sean Combs, aka P.Diddy, now known as just Diddy. And the woman he was assaulting was his girlfriend at the time, RnB singer Cassie. So what happens now that we have actual video evidence of this? And what do we make of the apology video that followed? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to The Spill's Laura Brodnik to take a look at exactly what Diddy did, and what happens now.

Recently, yet another Australian school has found itself in the midst of controversy surrounding the behaviour of some of their male students. The students had created and circulated a spreadsheet with the names of their fellow female classmates. It included photos of the girls alongside a ranking system from wifeys, cuties, mids, objects, get out and unrapable. When news broke about this, a lot of people asked why? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who, as a teenager, said something horrific about a female peer, to find out why he said it, and what he thinks about it all these years later.

What’s in a name? Apparently some of us have a long rich history behind our monikers… others were plucked from pop culture. Every year the list of top baby names is released there’s always a frenzy to compare and contrast, predicting how many Matilda’s or Olivia’s will be entering the year one classroom in a matter of years. How does a baby name even become popular, or lost to the sands of time? We’re diving into the data on today’s episode. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Share your story, feedback, or dilemma!
