Livestream: Travel

Liam & Ben share travel stories, look at weird stuff on Google Earth and get into the weeds about maps

SHOW NOTES

Liam’s current favourite Subreddit is r/vexillologycirclejerk - full of the most broken flags you ever did see. For example, Flag of the United States if Japan became the 51st state and then Texas seceded, pictured below.

Ben mentioned the Abbas Man (and similar phenomena), so here’s a Guardian article about the time Homer Simpson angered UK Pagans in 2007.

Finally, here’s links to all the Google Earth and Google Maps discoveries:

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 massively helpful, especially so on iTunes;

  • 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.
