"Hamish & Andy" is a podcast that began its life as a band of three men, travelling from village to village in the 1700s, asking locals to gather round to listen as they discussed big issues of the times and provided light refreshments. The advent of The Internet saw the podcast's audience skyrocke…
The Hamish & Andy podcast is an incredibly entertaining and hilarious show that has kept me hooked for years. As a listener from the UK, I was introduced to the podcast by my brother and have been listening religiously ever since. The weekly podcasts have become a highlight of my commutes and I always look forward to new episodes. The chemistry between Hamish, Andy, and Jack is unbeatable and their comedic timing is impeccable.
The best aspects of this podcast are undoubtedly the humor and likability of the hosts. Hamish and Andy have a natural ability to make even the simplest topics or conversations side-splittingly funny. Their silly gags, activities, recurring segments, and listener input make every episode enjoyable. It's amazing how they can turn mundane topics into laugh-out-loud moments. The dynamic between Hamish, Andy, and Jack adds an extra layer of entertainment as they play off each other effortlessly.
One potential downside of this podcast is that it may not be as well-known outside of Australia. As an international listener, I feel fortunate to have come across this gem, but I believe it deserves even more recognition worldwide. Additionally, some listeners may prefer shorter episodes or more frequent releases. However, considering the high quality and content in each episode, these minor drawbacks can easily be overlooked.
In conclusion, The Hamish & Andy podcast is a must-listen for anyone craving laughter and good vibes. Their happy comedy brightens up my days whether I'm having a tough one or enjoying a happy moment. These two friends have created something truly special with their podcast that brings joy to thousands of listeners around the world. I can't imagine not having them in my headphones and hope they continue to provide hilarious content for years to come.
We meet the genius minds helping us bring the World’s Tallest Hat to life! We have a fresh batch of Extreme Empaths, and some shocking news — new $1 coins are being made, but somehow still none for us?! It’s officially been a year since we kicked off our campaign to get a dollar coin for the show, so it's time for a much-needed update.

It struck a nerve (an erogenous one, no less) when we showed a lack of gusto in breaking the World’s Tallest Hat record — but your influx of great ideas has kept the dream alive. The wash-up from the Special Skills Conclave saw a groundswell of support for the “North Man” as the true Chosen One, and Hamish may have found a piece of evidence supporting this prophecy. Meanwhile, a long-forgotten promise from Hamish has somehow resurfaced on Andy’s weekend AM radio show, “The Mid Morning Cuppa”.
