Kick Ons

It's been a big two weeks away from Kick Ons. We may not have been in your ears, but trust — we have been living a full life. There's been concerts, protests, weddings plus, Lizzo is coming (squeals in sequins and activewear). It's good to be back.

Being busy is out, having a full life is in. Get ready, you're in for a wild ride on this episode of Kick Ons. We're here to dish on all the hot topics — from the legendary Shania Twain, to the drama-filled Vanderpump Rules scandoval, to the Solar Power tour 2.0. It's a lot but we're so grateful to have such a full life (practise makes perfect). Follow Kick Ons: @kickonspod @imstephmoore @itsjason...

It's been two years in the making, but we can finally say that we are fully charged thanks to Lorde's Solar Power Tour — and a bloody good martini. This week, we learn how to create the perfect morning routine, thanks to the Mel Robbins Podcast, praise Kylie Minogue and invite you down to Newtown Festival to catch Steph hosting the Radio Active/Coffee Supreme stage. Lorde knows, this is what perfe...

Just like Goodnight Nurse, we're back and just like Joel Little, all we can think about is Lorde. In a pre Solar Power tour haze, we're here to break down The New York Times' glossary of modern dating which leads to a conversation about platonic love and how that can add value to our life just as much as romantic love (screams in Buzzcut Season). Plus, Jason might actually be a Lana del Ray gay, a...

Has it already been a year since Gaga did the Superbowl? Don't correct us if we are wrong, tune in to find out why. This week, Steph brings The Cut's feverishly controversial list of new rules to live by to dissect, meanwhile Jason is dripping in Pearls, care of new music by Jessie Ware. Plus we get excited about the impending launch of NZ Fringe and Little Gay In at Big Fan — tickets here . Datin...

Just like the definition of insanity, we’re watching the Grammys again, and expecting a different result. Consider this your ‘Beyoncè deserved better’ support group.

Just like Marlon Williams, we're silly, we're sexy and we're hoping we can put a smile on your face. Aotearoa, you're kind of giving Cruel Summer, but it's nothing a couple of empaths (or narcissists) giggling about our new queen M3gan and trashing Wayne Brown can't distract you from. Stay safe, look after each other and check in with your community. Everybody's welcome at Kick Ons. Follow Kick On...

Is it hyperbolic to say this is our year? We don’t care, being too much is out — deal with it. After a summer of replenishing and refocusing we are back for 2023 and honestly, we’re fucking excited. This week, we’re catching up and discussing what’s IN and what’s insert Heidi Klum voice here OUT. If the kids can do it, so can we. Follow Kick Ons: @kickonspod @imstephmoore @itsjasonparker If you've...

While Jason is away, Steph is here to bring you the most gorgeous talent Aotearoa has to offer.

Alisa and Steph lament on their most brutal critics, what’s next for Alisa, after her long awaited homecoming. The video for Alisa’s new...

Being a fan girly is a strong part of the Kick Ons brand, but we're kind of surprised our guest this week agreed to an interview, given the love bombing we've imparted upon her over the years. While Jason slaved his lil heart out for the capitalists, Steph caught up with Zoe Moon — whose new single, 'In Person' will be stuck in your head all summer long, upon it's release tomorrow. ‘In Person’ has...

After much Dilly Dally-ing, we're back! But what is Dilly and what is Dally? You'll find out. It's time to discuss The Spinoff's ranking of Whittaker's flavours, our uncharacteristic excitement at the release of Avatar but not The White Lotus — Jason's not up to date. It's a little chaotic but, it's the Christmas spirit, soz. Follow Kick Ons: @kickonspod @imstephmoore @itsjasonparker If you've enj...

It's been about a year and a half since we last caught up with pop duo Foley. After the release of their EP 'Vacation,' Ash and Gabe headed back to the studio with a plan. The goal was to experiment, refine and discover who Foley really are. The results are, for lack of a better word — slay. Their latest release, 'Killing Me Babe,' has the funky bass line we know and love from Foley and a killer m...
