Marty Sheargold Axed from Podcast After Matildas Rant

Marty Sheargold has revealed that his plans to start his own podcast .

The radio host, 54, was  

Sheargold said he lost time on his new project when management at a podcast studio showed him the door earlier this year, telling him that 'their values didn't align'. 

'I booked [into a podcasting] space, I paid five weeks in advance,' he said on the latest episode of the Game Changers Radio podcast. 

'After the first week, someone at that podcasting space had decided, and these were the words they used, ''his values don’t align with ours'', and so that was the end of that first attempt at [a podcast].'

Elsewhere, Sheargold insisted that his dramatic exit from commercial radio was a 'blessing in disguise' and claimed he was ready to walk two years before the scandal.

'What I should have done is leave that [Triple M] job two years earlier,' he told host Craig Bruce. 

'I'd say there were a couple of years there where I was rolling through the business. 

'I don't know that I was fully invested in the day-to-day of the show. I was always across the show obviously.'

He said his comments about the popular soccer team were not how he wanted to be remembered and he didn't want to be known as the guy who made 'the Matildas blunder'.

'But look, really, I don’t give a f**k about that … in terms of caring what strangers think,' he added.

The former Triple M drive host was cancelled for comments about the Matildas that were branded un-Australian, sexist and disgusting.

Sheargold made the remarks on his radio show in February 2025 after the Matildas suffered a string of losses in major matches. 

He told listeners 'there' before comparing the team to 'Year 10 girls' and asking if superstar striker Sam Kerr and her fiancée Kristie Mewis 'play the same position'.
