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.

Ep 97: Aglio e Olio

The Hater is unimpressed by his local charity shop, several callers are being cheated on, sergeants York & Sargent are back, and there’s another disappointing quiz. Show support | Merch Store | Official Website

Tony Tony Tony, you're losing your edge mate. I love the audiobook 10/10 I've listened to it twice now. The characters in sizzletown are very much lacking mate. Where has the hater gone? oh for fuck sake you're like a dog going back to his vomit. What an incredible line. Please, oh fuck it Tony just keep doing what you do as you're one if the most amusing people with a podcast. SMG Scotland.
