2024 Ep 274 - ConCon admin goes off course

Everyone knows that exactly one week before Christmas, Reministmas is celebrated which involves looking back at the year and reminiscing. To help get into the spirit of Reministmas this year, the Hamish and Andy Podcast team have compiled a bunch of moments from the 2024 year podcasts for us all to look back at fondly… or angrily if you really didn’t like that specific bit.

In the final ep of 2024, the boys say goodbye to Podcast Mike, (attempt to) tie-up lots of loose ends, celebrate their most empathetic listeners, and Jack has an enormous decision to make....!!  1. Extreme empaths 2. Loose ends 3. A celebrity endorsement for digital bird collecting 4. New season of Remembering Project 5. Podcast Mike’s farewell 6. The decision 

ConCon is here! Did Hamish deliver on his biscuit promises? Did the controversial Session 3 go ahead?

The guys bring back the infamous Three Fact Shootout, a notorious failure from a few weeks earlier, with three fresh new facts to scrutinise.
