Let Her Finish

My word, put your seatbelt on and brace yourself, there are MANY a moving part to this episode. Tegan’s in a bad karmic cycle this week and is hanging by a thread. Brodie’s back from an incredibly special weekend with her Dad at the NRL Grand Final and is hanging by a thread (like a good one haha). Thank goodness Gracie is holding us together, but her wonderful 3-year old Frank is deep in his feel...

We pay homage to New Zealand this week - starting with the City Rail Link in Auckland, followed closely by yet ANOTHER reason why we love the regions. Gracie has a beautiful response to those who ask her if she wants to have a third child. We debate the best TV Shows of the 21st Century. We get fizzed over bed linen and new appliances. The ruthless thing you need to hear if you’re dealing with int...

As the headline suggests, Brodie has big news but in true media fashion, we will tease the sh*t out of it so you have to go and listen hehe! Our PR campaign for Karen and all she brings to the world continues. When did ticket buying become so INTENSE? The pre-sales have completely taken general sales over and the purchase of a humble concert ticket is so stressful. QR codes at Restaurants can get...

PLENTY of minutes this week and we steamroll right in with the decision one athlete made to carry on competing in a HYROX competition after pooing her pants. Really, what is worth winning over that? We break down the drama surrounding the Sydney Sweeney ad. What’s going on with all the frozen yoghurt shops? Our resident older millennial has questions… Plus the wellness gap, some pretty accurate re...

We’re big on getting behind the Warriors as they embark on the NRL Finals, and we also talk about the beautiful display of healthy masculinity as the competition wraps its support around Rabbitohs player Jai Arrow, who’s battling Motor Neurone Disease. This week Gracie has conducted a thorough investigation about where all the white dog poo went, and it will actually blow your mind. How to avoid s...

Why do we always think the grass is greener? This week we’re specifically talking about the urge to move cities - the urge to hunt for bigger and better, but really, what does bigger and better mean? We’re labelling the latest marketing fad “Protein Propaganda” and Tegan is victim to it. There’s some beautiful and hopeful math of starting late. We talk about unsexy products we use to keep us sexy...

This week we’re having a laugh at the expense of robots - but it also got us talking about how all these so-called advances in technology, apparently designed to make life easier for us, are in fact doing the exact opposite. We’re seeing a weird new look at the gym and we assure you jeans are not the way forward. The question to ask yourself if you’re wondering whether to pivot in your career. A f...

This week we talk about the value of friendship, and why it really is one of life’s greatest joys. There are updates as to how to make the perfect bed, which leads to some punishing but necessary chat about washing. We have an in-depth discussion around the greatest bikkies of the nation. We’ve got some serious milestone-maxxing happening this year and who knew you could have fake freckles? The gi...

This week, we talk about the new Kmart dupes of the ‘Meta glasses’, and why we are a little bit scared of them. Gracie gives us 5 social norms that need to come back (please listen and apply). Tegan gives her quote for what she says when she isn’t coming to something: “I’ll let you know”, and we read out some of the best ones from you Finishers. Miraculously, we come up with the women version of t...

This week we call out Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters for his inexcusable racism in Parliament last week. If we tolerate this kind of behaviour in the highest office, the trickle-down effect is alarming. We also remind you why this makes it SO important to vote. WHY ARE THE OOSHIES TAKING OVER PEOPLES' LIVES (yes we are yelling)???  The "Hahahahahahaha Photo Hack" will help you nail a...

Brodie's back and the girls are together in the same room for the first time in seven weeks! There's many a reflection on milestone birthdays with Brodie turning 40 and Tegan turning 30 in the past couple of weeks. AND our Gracie is bang smack in the middle of our ages, she shares some beautiful reflections on the first part of her thirties. There's minutes around Rhythm and Vines, there's minutes...

Brodie Kane is still off celebrating her 40th birthday in Bali, so Tegan and Gracie are holding down the fort in the studio until Brodie returns next week!  We kick off with a full recap of Tegan’s 30th birthday celebrations over the weekend, complete with bedazzled tequila towers and line dancing. Tegan shares a warning about the scary AI feature Instagram has signed us up for and how to dis...

Brodie is still away on her 40th sabbatical this week, having left her Croatian island life to travel to Bali for her birthday on Saturday. While Gracie and Tegan hold down the fort, the incredible Ella Monnery joins us! Gracie opens up a deeply important conversation for Birth Trauma Awareness week, getting vulnerable about her own experiences navigating an emergency C-section, mastitis, post-nat...

This week, Brodie joins us again live from Croatia to debrief her wild solo travel adventures in Ibiza. She shares the behind-the-scenes scoop on her backstage antics meeting Dom Dolla, and the scary late-night hotel prank call she received in Frankfurt. We discuss new statistics revealing the massive percentage of adults projected to never marry, and debate whether a wedding and marriage are actu...

In this week's episode of Let Her Finish, Brodie Kane patches in from the island of Brač in Croatia while she is living up her 40th birthday Euro summer sabbatical. Joining us in the early hours of the morning with a very full glass of Aperol in hand, she tells us how she is living (and loving) the simple island life and her exciting birthday plans in Ibiza next week. We discuss the recent scary p...

This week’s episode of Let Her Finish is a little bit different… Gracie is at home sick and resting up, Brodie’s off gallivanting around Europe, so you’re joined by Tegan and Ash London! We discuss the shocking Conservation Amendment Bill that’s threatening Aotearoa’s precious land and why it’s so vital that it doesn’t go through. We dive into the exact moment Zendaya fell in love with Tom Holland...

While Brodie is off living her best life in Europe, the incredibly talented and magnificent wahine Ash London joins us for this week's episode. (We love and miss you, Brodie!) Tegan opens up about the exhaustion many of us feel over the constant social media commentary on women’s bodies which seems almost impossible to escape. Gracie gives us the rundown of her girls’ trip to Queenstown last weeke...

We're in for a full tour debrief off the back of Brodie's Kiwi Yarns Tour - and she shares some reflections on how it feels to allow yourself to be proud of yourself! Tegan is also in a reflective space because her 30th birthday milestone is just around the corner. We know Gracie is a real seafood fiend but did she overdo her mussel allocation this past week? We take bets on whether she'll have fi...

This week the girls have a big old debrief about Brodie’s live show in Auckland, who got home the latest? Who took their mother-in-law? Who got kicked out of the casino? A man asked Gracie a rude question about being a “stay-at-home-wife” and even if it wasn’t intentional, why did irk us so much? Someone served Tegan a thumbs up emoji and we all agree it’s only the boomer generation or older who c...

This week, we are really leaning into being less flappy...until we play a game of which animal are you, and then the flap is back. Some of the most shocking things said in situationships cause fits of laughter but you know, those are the fits of laughter you're in because it's not actually funny? (Kinda like when you laugh at a funeral). We spoke to the amazing stylist Lou Heller about the colours...

Brodie’s back from the NRL Magic Round and is hanging on for dear life but delivers a ripper of a sports report. Gracie comes in hot off the back of the sports report with a brilliant science report relating to the clitoris. Tegan’s been on Substack and while it’s not a science or sports report it’s actually a pretty solid nugget about life. “Everything is a win when the goal is to experience.” Pl...

This week, you may close your eyes and think “wow, that’s three fantastic woman doing a truly vibe-lifting sports podcast” because we rip into the exciting football, rugby league and surfing news! There is a very in-depth discussion in the art of avoiding people - how do you dart away from small-talk with that annoying woman Leanne you worked alongside ten years ago? Tegan’s mates are hiding drink...

This week we’ve got thoughts about the Met Gala (aka the real life Hunger Games), and an honest review about the Devil Wears Prada 2.

The simple things that give us irrational rage, and how to avoid having a bad day (preferably if you’re not i...

This week, we talk beauty standards, weight loss drugs and if everyone has access to being “skinny” how will the multi-billion dollar beauty industry react? Are you team Alex or team Alix, or do you hate that once again we’re frothing over two women fighting? Or do you have absolutely no idea what we’re talking about? Or do you simply not care? Or all of the above? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Plus a cautio...
