StickMart is a podcast born from the creative exchanges between cousins Aaron Martinez and Ethan Stickley. What started as texts about various ideas and projects evolved into a conversational show where they explore everything from music, art, and storytelling to AI, weird science, and doomsday scenarios. Each episode follows a loose theme, often with original comedic ads, offering a glimpse into their creative process and unique perspectives. With no strict agenda—just curiosity, humor, and a love for all things cool and strange—StickMart is both a creative outlet and a way for two cousins, a decade apart, to catch up and share their ever-evolving inspirations.
AUDIO
A handful of StickMart ad segments. Strange, scrappy little audio stories written, voiced, and produced for our biweekly podcast. These were made fast (because deadlines are real), but they still carry heart, humor, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. What started as a way to make each other laugh has turned into a surprisingly versatile sandbox for writing, characters, and audio storytelling.
They’re getting more ambitious as we go. And if you're thinking "this could totally be a weird animated series", we’ve thought that too…

A grab bag of fake ads and audio sketches from StickMart — some written and voiced by me, some by my cousin and cohost, Ethan. Each one blends writing, character voice work, foley, and editing. People keep telling me I missed my calling in advertising.
