Hamish Blake and Andy Lee announce new podcast series

They tearfully bid farewell to their legions of radio listeners after airing their final episode of the Hamish And Andy Show last month.

But fans of comedians Hamish Blake and Andy Lee won’t have to look far to hear the dynamic duo again, with the pair announcing their plans to release an original podcast series for Southern Cross Austereo in 2018 and 2019. 

They will produce a series of 40 podcasts over the two-year period, all of which will be released on PodcastOne and subsequently on iTunes.

‘Previously the podcast has been the radio show, now it is a show purely made for the podcasting format, said Andy in a public statement this week.

‘I mean, it’s going to sound pretty similar, it’s our voices, but it’s cool to be playing 100% in the podcasting world’, he added. 

‘I’m going to have to teach my grandma how to podcast, so the move does not come without its hurdles, but the excitement outweighs the challenges! We can’t wait’, Hamish added.

The pair are also in the midst of planning the second season of their TV show True Story. 

Speaking to The Herald Sun last Sunday, Andy revealed that pre-production for the series began just a few days after their final day on radio. 

‘Pre-production starts for that on Monday (tomorrow), which is just enough time for us to shake off the hangover from Friday,’ he quipped at the time. 

‘We are keeping our toe dipped in next year,’ Hamish added.

After their final radio show, Hamish took to Instagram to share a selfie from the venue, in front of the crowds. 

‘Whether you’re in this pic, were listening today, have ever listened, heck I’ll even accept ‘am planning to listen soon’: my message is simple. I love you, and thank you.’

He added: ‘Can’t wait for the next chapter (whatever it is) and we shall chat to you on the podcast in 2018 (will be weekly, starting end of Feb, for those playing along). x.’

Fourteen years ago, Hamish and Andy began their radio career, hosting Fox FM’s graveyard 10pm-Midnight shift on Tuesdays.
