  • the three are my childhood

    I like their back and forth, I love the ability they have to transition, if you can call it that, from serious to vapid topics seamlessly. their frames of reference are distinct from each other amd they are not afraid to discuss their differences.

  • Great podcast, intrusive ads

    This is a great and entertaining podcast to listen to, but when every mid-podcast ad interrupts mid-sentence, you have to admit that there is a problem with whatever ad system is in use. Easily 5 stars otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Hat Chat Podcast

What is The Hat Chat Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Three Hat Films creators, Ross Hornby, Chris Trott and Alex Smith, lead loose, comedy-driven conversations that jump between video games, film and television, internet culture, technology, science, and odd news stories.
