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. Check it out over on Patreon.

  • Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see sketches, episode highlights, and to leave some nice comments too;

  • Join us for our livestreams on Twitch, on the first Sunday of every month plus occasional gaming streams in between;

  • Leave us a 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.
