HAMISH & ANDY GO BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING FOR NEW SEASON OF HAMISH & ANDY’S REMEMBERING PROJECT
28 November 2024
A new season of Hamish & Andy’s Remembering Project returns today with newly discovered memories pulled from the archives of Australia’s most successful radio and podcast duo. It has been more than 20 years since Hamish Blake and Andy Lee teamed-up behind the mics and much has changed. So, for 12 very special episodes, the pair have once again dug out their production notes from more than 2,500 shows to take a hilarious and sometimes confronting walk through the past.
For season six of Hamish & Andy’s Remembering Project, Blake and Lee go further back into their old recordings than they have ever gone before. In fact, for the very first time, they revisit and re-listen to their original demo tape, with both having very mixed feelings about hearing it.
In the season’s first episode the pair listen back to two incredible moments from their radio days. One is the first time that Jack Post (aka ‘Cackling Jack’) appears on the show and unsurprisingly, he is accused of weaselling! Plus, they revisit the blooper that they both agree is one of their favourite radio moments of all time!
This season also ‘remembers’ Blake and Lee’s epic adventure of taking a convertible car through a car wash, the birth of ‘Napkin Ninja’, Blake’s psychic dreaming ability and their final performance as a band. In some more poignant moments, Blake gets sentimental as they listen back to voicemails from his late Grandma Moosie, and the boys remember what a pivotal part of the radio show she played for many years.
Reflecting on the new season, Lee said: “This season is a rollercoaster of laughs and emotions. We were especially hesitant to listen to our first-ever demo tape because we honestly couldn’t remember how it would sound. It definitely made us question how we ever thought we could make a career out of radio!”
LiSTNR Original Podcasts Head of Entertainment & Culture, Sam Cavanagh, said: “Once again the boys have gone deep into the archives to pull out some absolutely legendary moments from more than 20 years of shows, but it doesn’t get better than hearing their very first demo tape. I think the boys’ reaction will surprise and delight people. New episodes of the Hamish & Andy podcast will return in 2025, but in the meantime, fans can join in as the boys reminisce on what helped forge their incredible partnership.”
