The world is mourning the loss of country music legend, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who has passed away in Nashville at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. In this special tribute episode of The Quicky, we celebrate the extraordinary life, sharp business acumen, and generous spirit of an icon who brought light to generations.
In this episode, you'll learn:
The surprising alternative currency her family used to pay the local doctor on the day she was born, long before she built a multi-million-dollar empire.
Why she boldly turned down Elvis Presley over one of her biggest songs—and how that single decision reshaped music history for future generations of artists.

The staggering scale of her quiet philanthropic work, from donating millions of books to funding major medical breakthroughs behind the scenes.

The secret track locked away at Dollywood that no one is allowed to hear yet, and the massive collection of unreleased music she left behind.

We're joined by Cameron Adams, Australia's leading music journalist, who reflects on meeting Dolly at her Nashville compound and breaks down why she was perhaps "the last person on Earth that everyone loved."
Also in today's headlines:
Why Commissioner Virginia Bell has requested a short delay for the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission's final report, and the solemn anniversary the move aims to respect.
The proposed green energy rules for massive new AI data centres, and why key state leaders are already pushing back against Anthony Albanese.

Politicians are increasingly bypassing the press gallery for podcast interviews, a shift a new Griffith University report says is driving voters towards influencers over traditional media. But as Anthony Albanese has discovered after a joke on the Bush Deep podcast spiralled into a diplomatic row, the strategy comes with real risks.
