With the recent devastating announcement made by Hamish and Andy that they are cutting their daily weekday show to a single show per week, I thought there must be a way to get a hold of all the old podcasts. Doing so will fully sustain my Hamish and Andy daily fix for another two years.
And there was a way! Albeit not a very efficient of mining all this podcast gold. Here’s how:
1. Find the Podcast RSS feed
Which (conveniently for you) is: http://austereo.castmetrix.net/rss/162129586585337877
2. Add it to Google Reader
My search for a program which was able to back-catalogue podcasts older than 30 days using that given rss feed was unsuccessful.
3. Show all items
Click on show all items at the top of the page.
4. Keep scrolling…
Once added to Google Reader, keep scrolling to the bottom of the page so older podcasts are retrieved.
5. Download
Find the podcast you want to listen to and either listen to it online, or download it and archive it on your own computer. The bad thing is that the mp3 information is not retained when you download it direct, so when it comes to cataloguing them, the release date, description, etc will be left blank.
(To download to your computer, right click on the link and select “Save Link As…”)

Hey joseph, I’ve added a screenshot of how to download the podcast.
It’s a bit tedious, I know — but it’s all worth it, it’s Hamish and Andy afterall.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! was looking everywhere for something like this since they changed from daily shows.
it didn’t work for me :’(
Thanks mate, I am eternally grateful for your help.
thanks, their website link doesn’t work.
Hi, do you know why it only goes back to 2007?
This was so good. Thank you so much for sharing this :) Is there a reason they stop so suddenly in 2007?
