What's Your Greatest Weakness? [Ep56 ft Ben's Dad]

Ben's Dad makes his seasonal return to The Conversation Hat Podcast to chat about lightsabers, crappy job interview questions and much more besides. Ben's Dad doesn't want to plug anything, he just likes having a chat.

====================================

SHOW NOTES

As briefly touched-upon in the podcast, lightsabers in the Star Wars franchise are powered by Kyber Crystals which also determine the colour of the blade. The crystals are harvested by young Jedi and the process turns the crystal to a specific colour. Sith and Dark-Side users, rather than harvesting the crystals in the "proper" way, will dominate them which turns the colour to red - hence all the evil dudes having red swords. You can read more about Kyber Crystals and much, much more Star Wars lore, (there's lots), over on Wookiepedia.

For music fans, we're updating the way our Patreon rewards work slightly - specifically the free music downloads. Anyone and everyone will now be able to listen to music from the show, (on SoundCloud, for example), but downloads will remain a patron-only reward. Log in to Patreon to learn how to access your downloads.

====================================

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. There’s a whole bunch of rewards available for doing so, including your own Conversation Hat hat, downloads of music written for the show and early access to episodes: www.patreon.com/conversationhat

If patronage isn't up your street, then maybe this is for you: Super Loot want to deliver a box of nerdy merch and geek chic to your doorstep each month, and will do so for £19.99, (you can get your first one for £15!) Take a gander, right flippin' now! www.superloot.co.uk/ConversationHat

If you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine by the way, I guess), there are a few ways you can do that: feel free to follow us on Twitter and retweet anything you see us post; like us on Facebook and hit as many thumbs-up icons as you possibly can; Follow StabbedPandaTV on YouTube, watch some of the Conversation Hat videos hosted on there and leave some nice comments on the videos as well; leaving us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also massively helpful, especially so on iTunes.

Scent-Sational! [Ep50 ft Roman]

Irregular guest Roman Armstrong joins Liam & Ben for the first time in Season 3 to discuss our favourite scents and play a rousing round of Getting To Know You!

This episode features the sketch Detective Bastard, written by Liam & Laura, voiced by Ben, with music by Liam.

====================================

SHOW NOTES

This episode went out a few weeks earlier than it should have - we thought, rather than retracting and fussing we'd just embrace the mistake and have an episode released at a weird time! For those interested, this should have been episode 8 and would have been released to the public on June 24th. Oh well!

A Lovely Poo [Ep47 ft John Wheeler, Hayseed Dixie]

In this episode of The Conversation Hat Podcast, we're delighted to have as our guest the frontman of bluegrass rock 'n' roll covers band, Hayseed Dixie. John Wheeler has sung, played guitar, (and other instruments), for the band's entire career. They refer to their style as "rockgrass", merging folk and country sounds in their renditions of classic tracks. We discuss the discomforts of camping and ask just what is Wally, ("Waldo"), hiding from!?

====================================

SHOW NOTES

For your listening / viewing pleasure, here is some Hayseed Dixie.

The Conversation Hat Podcast – [Ep45 ft Dan Kirk, Local Distortion]

Today's guest on The Conversation Hat Podcast is Daniel Kirk, host of the Local Distortion podcast - a show which regularly features underground rock and alternative bands from Cambridgeshire and beyond. Kudos to Dan for pulling-off something which we know, from experience, is mega tricky.In this episode we discuss

The aim of Local Distortion is to promote and reignite the independent music scene in a way that is accessible for everyone and you don't have to be in the know to enjoy it.  You can (and should) watch Local Distortion on YouTube.

This episode features a sketch entitled The N Word - written by Liam, featuring him and Ben.

====================================

Show Notes

We tracked down the harmonica cover or Duel of Fates from Star Wars. It really is something special.
