Hamish and Andy previously joked to Mumbrella that if they ever slipped from the top spot of the Australian Podcast Ranker they’d ‘quit’ podcasting.
‘Well we only ever do podcasts for awards, rankers, status,’ Andy quipped.
‘So obviously we’ll quit [if we fall down the charts],’ he added.
Andy added on a more serous note: ‘We’ve just been lucky that so many people listen to us, so we’re grateful for that.

‘We know that, as I think we mentioned in the press release, if you didn’t listen, it would just be two guys hanging out in an expensive studio.’
Hamish and Andy have had incredible success with their podcast after quitting traditional radio in favour of a digital-only approach.
They first met in their student days at the University of Melbourne and went on to host the Hamish & Andy drive show on the Hit Network for years.

In 2011, the show was cut down to one day a week so the boys could focus on other aspects of their career.
That same year, they branched into television with their Gap Year series and later True Story with Hamish & Andy.
They’ve also had successful solo projects, including Andy becoming the host of game show The Hundred and Hamish presenting Nine’s Lego Masters.
