Show overview
Tony Martin’s SIZZLETOWN has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 106 episodes. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 8th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 32 min and 43 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 4 days ago, with 5 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2019, with 22 episodes published. Published by pots n pans productions.
From the publisher
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.
