In this talk, I will present the results from my thesis to study the life-cycle of radio AGN and its link to the impact on ionised gas. Using high resolution radio data over a wide frequency range, we have investigated the presence of restarted activity in a nearby radio AGN, that challenges our understanding of the radio AGN life-cycle. I will also discuss our results on the jet driven feedback in radio AGN host galaxies, and how it varies as the jets grow. We find that jets have the most extreme impact when they are young. Finally, I will also discuss some results from my current project to use IFU data from MANGA to study jet driven feedback in more detail.
