Episode 13 - Tony Martin
from Game Changers Radio
Tony Martin joined the D-Gen - a truly revolutionary FM breakfast show - in 1987, and continued with them until 1992. In 1995 he and Mick Molloy re-imagined the way we would listen to drive radio. They created Martin/Molloy, which became Australia's first national drive show and dominated the FM landscape for three years. In 2006 he created one of the most talked about radio shows ever, Get This, with Ed Kavalee and Richard Marsland. The show's fan base is as rabid today as it was a decade ago. In 2017 he released an innovative new show, Childprrof, which is an unprodcued TV sitcom recorded live at the Melbourne Fringe Festival and released as a podcast. Tony's success is a combination of incredible writing skills, along with the ability to perform his own words, a prodigious work ethic and an obsession with the infinite possibilities of audio. His career is a benchmark in our industry and an inspiration for anyone wanting to make comedy. 'You just don't want to waste people's time... We had this philosophy we wanted to be a show, not a shift... Every bit of it has to be good and surprising'. Game Changers: Radio is a show dedicated to the radio industry.
