About this listen

Chaz Kicks Off is a straight-talking Premier League football podcast hosted by former Premier League striker Charlie Austin, with broadcaster and presenter Peter Redding steering the conversation.

Each episode breaks down the week in football through Charlie’s eyes — the opinions players actually have, the moments fans never hear about, and the unfiltered honesty only someone who’s lived it can give. From Premier League talking points to behind-the-scenes stories, match insights, big personalities, and the occasional bit of chaos, the show delivers football as it should be: real, informed, and brilliantly entertaining.

Whether it’s dissecting the weekend’s drama, calling out what doesn’t sit right, or celebrating what makes the game special, Chaz Kicks Off brings fans closer to the sport with smart takes, strong views, and proper football chat every week.

If you love football, big opinions, and hearing the game from someone who’s been there, you’re in the right place.

New episodes weekly.

    It’s the festive build-up and the Premier League served up pure chaos.

    Charlie Austin and Peter Redding react to a bonkers weekend — starting with the mad Chelsea vs Newcastle “game of two halves”… before the conversation turns into our biggest VAR/PGMOL breakdown yet.


    We also launch Charlie’s Card — our new predictions game where you go head-to-head with Charlie for bragging rights (and a place on the pod). And guess what? Charlie finished 2nd… but a Dubai-based Liverpool fan nicked the top spot.
