After more than 20 years in radio, Marty Sheargold is entering a new chapter. But before taking his brand new stand-up show, The Red Card Tour, around the country, the Australian comedian joined Sam and Sarah for a candid conversation. In this episode, he reflects on finding comedy after being kicked out of drama school, the realities of working in breakfast radio, and the fallout from the comments that ended his Triple M show. He also opens up about grief, sobriety, mental health, and finding his footing amidst the chaos.

Sam Frost· Host0:49
[upbeat music] You wanna talk about life's big rejection and redirections? Our next guest has been at the center of a pretty hectic pile-on. He's a comedian, he's an actor, and he's ran radio broadcasting for decades.
Sarah Roberts· Host1:09
To be honest, when we first recorded this episode, I was a little bit apprehensive to speak to our guest because he said some comments in the media that really triggered me, but I was able to ask him some pretty confronting questions. And I think if you have the same apprehensions as me, I'd really encourage you to listen to the full episode.
