Tony Martin’s SIZZLETOWN
Welcome to SIZZLETOWN, the award-winning ‘late-night call-in podcast’, hosted by comedian and broadcaster Tony Martin, with Matt Dower on the ‘pots n pans’. All the callers and guests are played by Martin, via the elaborate editing and sound design of fellow ‘Get This’ veteran Dower. What starts as a fairly straightforward concept (with just three sound effects) becomes steadily more complex, with full-blown musical numbers, multi-caller forums and a talking cat. WARNING: Frequent foul language, and concepts both adult and juvenile.
Episodes
The voters are undecided, Lorna Palethorpe is unclear, Peregrine Haste is unable to comment, and Tony gets a guilt trip from his chiropractor.
Dion has invented a new game, The Pikelet Man can’t be fooled, Tony visits the ‘living theatre’, and Matt is forced to use the Dump Button.
Cratog Carabasirica is unimpressed with our electoral candidates, Shane [REDACTED] is being used to train Chinese AI, Bryan Lyons is back at the ‘office’, and there’s another live footy call.
WARNING: Normal SIZZLETOWN returns next month. This is an ‘unplugged’ episode, where Tony answers all your questions with the aid of footage and diagrams.
WARNING: Not a proper episode of SIZZLETOWN – it’s another ‘unplugged’ episode with no callers, just Tony recalling every movie he saw in 1987, playing an old sketch, and recalling the time he foolishly attempted to talk about sport.
The 2024 season finale, with Dion, Dave Clacton, Reg Tankwater, The Pikelet Man, The Hater, Shane [REDACTED], Patrick Paget, Cratog Carabasirica, Ronnie Bung, Crackers & the Tugboat and…Bob Dylan? Plus, as tradition demands, Pete Smith, Davey Lane, and more songs than would seem necessary.
Barry Football apologises for his behaviour on ‘Wacky Wednesday’, Shane [REDACTED] doesn’t trust electric cars, and William Fine-Mist explains all those credit card surcharges.
Dion has a new movie idea, The Pikelet Man has ‘done an incursion’, Tony has gone reboot mad, and for the first time, there’s a live footy call!
Lorna Palethorpe has reason to complain, Cratog Carabasirica has been racially profiled, William Fine-Mist has another unhelpful explanation, and David Lynch has no plans to retire.
Dave Clacton has been raided by the ‘PC Police’, Niles Nyquist has downsized, Tony gets advice on how to evict possums, and there’s news of a deadly mispronunciation.
Dion takes to the skies, The Pikelet Man is unimpressed by the cat in ‘Ripley’, someone has finally untangled ‘Tenet’, and there’s another shambolic quiz.
Shane [REDACTED] exposes the latest ‘Black Swan Event’, Barry Football addresses that ‘homophobic slur’, and Matt has previously unseen footage from the making of ‘We Are The World’.
Sir Ian McKellen and the late Truman Capote have plenty to say, The Hater is back way too soon, and Tony foolishly attempts to call Centrelink.
Barry Football has an explanation, The Pikelet Man has Dog’s measure, Reg Tankwater has a new vendetta, and Dave Clacton has a new room. Plus, the most famous man in Humpty Doo!
Another year of often incoherent talkback kicks off with Dion, Patrick Paget, Cratog Carabasirica, The Hater and Jason Statham. Plus we preview a new Zack Snyder project.
WARNING: Actual SIZZLETOWN returns next month. This is another ‘unplugged’ episode with no callers, just Tony recalling every movie he saw in 1986, playing an old sketch, and reading his story ‘Reasons to be Cheerful’.
The 2023 season finale, with Reg Tankwater, Shane [REDACTED], Patrick Paget, Cratog Carabasirica, Lorna Palethorpe, Harold Bitumen, Crackers & the Tugboat and a certain deceased filmmaker. Plus Pete Smith, Davey Lane, and as always, too many songs!
The Pikelet Man doesn’t understand daylight saving, Colin Holcroft has been cleaned out, and Tony has some exclusive outtakes from the Beatles ‘Get Back’ documentary.
Dave Clacton addresses current comedy controversies, Lorna Palethorpe has more examples of ‘shrinkflation’, Peter Meager is working for a robot, and a particularly angry caller is destroying all his John Farnham albums.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
