Marty Sheargold has announced a shock career move, one year after his show was axed by Triple M after his comments about the Matildas were branded sexist and disgusting.
On Tuesday, the disgraced presenter, 54, revealed he would be getting his own radio segment on Nova FM's The Chrissie Swan Show.
He shared a photo of himself beaming alongside Chrissie, 52, and her newsreader Jack Charles at the Nova studio in Melbourne on Instagram, and confirmed the news in the caption.
'Listen to Marty Sheargold on The Chrissie Swan Show. Find it wherever you get your podcasts,' he wrote.
The outspoken host will be presenting a segment called 'The Red Card', in which he discusses 'the old days of radio'.

He sparked further outrage with a subsequent claim that endometriosis was fake.
Earlier this month, Sheargold appeared on A Current Affair where he copped a dressing down from host Allison Langdon.
Introducing the segment, Langdon slammed the former radio star over his sexist outburst.
'One seriously sexist and offensive joke ended it all,' Langdon said of Marty's once-prolific career.
'Marty Sheargold's crude sledge of our national women's soccer team offended many people - me included.'
In the sit-down Marty told interviewer Steve Marshall that people need to get over it.
When Marshall asked Marty if his initial public apology was sincere, he replied: 'To that playing group and the extended group of the Matildas? Yeah, I apologise,' he said.
'But to people that are offended by that on the outside of that group. Come on.'

Despite admitting that his comments were 'not funny', Marty added that he did not regret his remarks, but rather the fallout that ensued, and how it affected his long-term partner Ang and their two daughters.
His shock remarks were aired on The Marty Sheargold Show in February last year, hours after the Matildas had been defeated 2-1 by 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.
'You know what they remind me of? Year 10 girls... All the infighting and all the friendship issues, "the coach hates me and I hate bloody training, and Michelle's being a b***h",' he said.
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?'
In the wake of the controversy, Southern Cross Austereo revealed they had 'mutually agreed' to part ways with Marty.
