Marty Sheargold has unexpectedly changed careers, a year after Triple M cancelled his show due to controversial, sexist remarks he made about the Matildas.
The former television host, 54, announced on Tuesday that he’ll be appearing on Nova FM’s The Chrissie Swan Show with his own regular radio segment.
He posted a happy photo on Instagram with Chrissie, 52, and her husband, newsreader Jack Charles, taken at the Nova studio in Melbourne, and used the caption to announce the news.
He encouraged listeners to check out Marty Sheargold’s appearance on The Chrissie Swan Show, available on all podcast platforms.
The host, known for speaking his mind, will be doing a segment titled ‘The Red Card’ where he talks about the history of radio.
In February 2025, Marty was fired from Triple M after receiving criticism for making sexist remarks about the Australian women’s soccer team.
He sparked further outrage with a subsequent claim that endometriosis was fake.
Earlier this month, Sheargold was sharply criticized by host Allison Langdon during an appearance on the television program A Current Affair.
Introducing the segment, Langdon slammed the former radio star over his sexist outburst.
According to Langdon, a single, deeply offensive and sexist joke was the downfall of Marty’s previously successful career.
Marty Sheargold’s harsh criticism of the Australian women’s soccer team was offensive, and I was among those who were upset by it.
In the sit-down, Marty told interviewer Steve Marshall that people need to get over it.
When Marshall questioned Marty about the sincerity of his first apology, Marty responded, ‘Yes, I apologize to the players and everyone connected with the Matildas.’
‘But to people that are offended by that on the outside of that group. Come on.’
Marty acknowledged his comments were inappropriate, but he didn’t apologize for saying them. He expressed regret, however, for the negative consequences and the impact the situation had on his partner, Ang, and their daughters.
He made the surprising comments on The Marty Sheargold Show last February, shortly after the Matildas lost 2-1 to the USA in the SheBelieves Cup.
Fellow show host Troy Ellis brought up the topic and Marty gave his two cents on the national team.
He compared the situation to the drama of teenage girls in year 10, saying it was full of arguments, friendship problems, and complaints – like players blaming the coach, hating practice, and falling out with each other.
The conversation then moved to Australia hosting the women’s Asian Cup.
‘Oh God. The Asian Cup,’ Marty said.
‘I’d rather hammer a nail through the head of my p***s than watch that. Got any men’s sport?’
Following the recent controversy, Southern Cross Austereo announced it had reached a mutual agreement with Marty for him to leave the company.
