Martin the Sound Man
Without Martin the Sound Man, Answer Me This! would just be Olly and Helen shouting in the living room. So praise the day he was born! Here he is rocking out:

Martin rocks

Martin enjoys a typical Sound Man snack
As well as his duties producing all the music in the show alongside the awesome talents of the Answer Me This! Players, Martin also makes sounds of his own in his band The Sound of the Ladies. (hey, why not become The Sound of the Ladies’ Imaginary Friend on MySpace?).
Martin’s pretty pretty music is also available on his own monthly podcast, which you can download through his website or subscribe to through iTunes for a regular dose.
You can track also all of Martin’s comings and goings on Twitter – @martinaustwick – if you are thusly inclined.
So get in touch if you want Dr Martin Austwick to come and perform at your wedding or bar mitzvah. He knows all the words to The Vengabus and La Bamba (in English and Spanish) as well as being able to fix the microphones when they break or make that nasty screaming sound.
Cop a load of this Martin endorsement in the Sunday Times!

For heaven’s sake, please break the reverb button off the mixing desk. Everytime the sound man makes a comment or buts in, the reverb drowns everything out.

i totally agree with freyja – i heard an episode on a friends itunes before i started subscribing and i was convinced it was josie long and that she was using the name helen to thinly disguise herself!

has martins voice changed slowly thoughout the podcast series-listening to an earlier episode the echo effects and reverb are much more recognisable

From what i’ve heard on the podcast, Martin’s head shouldn’t be visible, it’s so covered in hair!

Interestin, because Helen really really really reminds me of Josie Long
