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.

how to become a patron (and why)

The Conversation Hat Podcast – [Ep36 ft Wesley Freeman-Smith]

Is Legoland more or less appealing than Diggerland? What even is Diggerland? Which animals would we like to talk to? Which adverts have worked on us? All this and much more is discussed with Wesley Freeman-Smith!

Wes recently set up the collaborative performing arts group, Colliding Lines: www.collidinglines.com/

SHOW NOTES

Holy crap, Diggerland is actually a thing... Be warned, the site has music embedded, and it's not a good time.

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! Also there’s loads of cool stuff you can only get here: www.patreon.com/conversationhat

If patronage isn't your thing, 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 look, right flippin' now. Please. www.superloot.co.uk/ConversationHat

Or, if you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine by the way, I suppose), 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 Odd Creative on YouTube, where you can watch some Conversation Hat videos and leave some nice comments too; leaving us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also massively helpful, especially so on iTunes.
