A podcast for geeks, artists and terrible people: The Conversation Hat is a bizarre, comedy romp through the arts, philosophy and culture. Conversation topics are chosen at random from The Hat. Based in Cambridge, UK, hosts Ben & Liam invite guests from the creative industries to tackle the big questions in life: What is your favourite question? Do puppies have Christmas? When will the aliens invade? Hosted by Ben Pierson and Liam Taylor; Edited by Laura Elmer; additional music by Liam Taylor and Si Pettit.
