The Quicky

The world has watched on in shock following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.  The shooting took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, with the Republican candidate speaking at an election campaign rally. We have the latest updates for you.  So apparently there's a competition amongst the world's most prolific sperm donors to have their samples used as many times as possible. Plus, the new Netflix doco The Man With 1000 Kids goes into great detail about it, and raises some important questions around the regulation and responsibility of donation clinics. But what about the men donating to these places? Today we meet a donor-conceived woman, who in her adult life, made some pretty confronting discoveries about where she came from.  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.

While it may have been strategic on her behalf, Margot isn't the only celebrity to have their baby news stolen by paparazzi.

The Paris Olympics are just 16 days away, and following a snap election, the French political climate is a bit of a mess.  After initially bracing for a far-right victory, results from the ballot box are skewing a way many hadn't expected.  And while the French political system is slightly more complicated than the Australian one, today we're demystifying what's just gone down in the Games host nation.  Plus answering the question: what impact will it have on the upcoming sporting events?  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.
