Ardouin commenced as a radio presenter with Volcano Radio 88.5 FM Lyttelton in December 2008 with his first programme , '' Heading Home with Kenny '' . The show was an afternoon programme known for playing mainstream pop music , and ran for approximately 18 months before Ardouin moved to host a new breakfast show '' Seismic Shift '' . Ardouin commenced this programme in September 2010 following the 2010 Canterbury earthquake and was named to reflect the programme 's diversity of music and Ardouin 's bluntness on current affairs . Although starting out as light-hearted , the '' Seismic Shift '' became more poignant following 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake which had a devastating effect on the radio station 's host town of Lyttelton . Ardouin 's programme became more focussed on earthquake recovery at this time , including regular interviews with members of the Earthquake Commission , Christchurch City Council and Prime Minister John Key . Ardouin 's programme continued until the city was hit by the June 2011 Christchurch earthquake which caused the closure of Volcano Radio . Ardouin retired from broadcasting at this time , however announced in July 2015 that he will be returning to radio to present a current affairs and investigative journalism programme '' Wireless Watchdog '' on Christchurch and Canterbury 's Plains FM . The live programme debuted on 6 August 2015 and aired weekly in 2015 on Thursdays at 9 pm and Fridays at 11 am . Since early 2016 , the programme was broadcast fortnightly on alternate Thursdays and Fridays . He is known for promoting equity and equality and challenging those who deny others of this
