Welcome geeks, artists and terrible people! In this episode of The Conversation Hat, Liam & Ben are joined by Richard Jackson of Val Verde Broadcasting to tackle the big questions of our time:

What’s the point?
Which of our relatives was/is the biggest liar?
Can we get away with being as gross as we want?

SHOW NOTES

So, what is Subbuteo? Popular in our childhood, Subbuteo is a game of dexterity and tactics, where players flick tiny football player models with wobbly bases around a table, attempting to score a goal. Imagine foosball, but chaotic.

Go buy a Subbuteo.

HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW

Our plan is that this show will always be available for free, but super fans are encouraged to support The Conversation Hat via Patreon. We ask listeners to consider how much they pay for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc, and apply the same logic to our show - do you feel our show is worth $1 a month? $5? $50? Whatever you think is right! We’re giving all our patrons an exclusive extra question from each episode and early access to each show. There’s also stickers and stuff. Check it out over on Patreon.

Did you know we have merch? Check out the Conversation Hat Merch Store on TeePublic! We have shirts, hoodies, mugs and much more besides.

If you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine, I guess), there are a few ways you can do that:

Follow us on Twitter where we post new episode info, inside gossip and poorly thought-through jokes. Bonus points for retweeting our most recent episode links;
Like us on Facebook and hit as many thumbs-up icons as you possibly can;
Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see sketches and video episode, and leave some nice comments too;
Join us for our livestreams on Twitch;
Leave us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also very helpful, especially on Apple Podcasts or Podchaser.
Finally, tell a friend about the show. Ideally someone who’d enjoy it. Word of mouth is still super powerful.

For updates and such, you can sign-up to our mailing list right here.
