Mamamia strengthens its podcast team with three senior appointments

"These three appointments are a signal of where we're headed and how serious we are about getting there.”

The Quicky is one of the most listened-to daily news podcasts in the country, cutting through the noise twice a day to make sense of the day for a smart, time-poor audience. Mortlock and Rose bring complementary newsroom experience as the successful show moves into its next chapter.

Charlotte Mortlock is a political reporter and news anchor with 12 years in broadcast journalism across New York, Sydney and rural Australia, most recently at Sky News. She has also advised within the Liberal Party, founded the women-in-politics organisation Hilma's Network, and in 2026 founded Something Better Australia, a political campaign organisation.

Mortlock said, "I'm excited to be bringing audiences the conversations under the stories, and why they matter, without fatiguing people. This is a step I'm absolutely delighted to be taking with Mamamia."

Tamsin Rose brings more than a decade of experience across major Australian newsrooms, including Guardian Australia, the ABC and News Corp, reporting on politics, crime and major public-interest stories across print, radio, television and digital. At Guardian Australia she was NSW state correspondent and a fill-in host of the Full Story podcast, and she has reported for triple j's Hack, covered federal politics from Canberra and worked as a crime reporter at the Herald Sun.

Rose said, "What I love about The Quicky is that it starts where the headlines leave off and allows us to delve into the why. It’s about presenting the news in a way that allows listeners to come away feeling informed, confident and understanding what’s going on. I’ve always been passionate about storytelling and making complex things clear, and this is an amazing opportunity to do so with an incredible team.”

Mortlock has already begun work at Mamamia with Rose and Pettit joining later this month.
