I honestly don’t care pretty much at all about pens, but that makes this podcast perfect to fall asleep to. They have a massive back catalogue and their banter is a perfect balance between lightly funny but nothing too crazy, important, or exciting.
I am currently addicted to the company Moleskine because they make amazing pens and notebooks I recently had a look at fountain pens by them and I know there expensive ( 27.50 ) but I want to get one!!
Long time listener, first time reviewer. I very seldomly leave reviews, but wanted to thank you both for your transparency and vulnerability on ep. 640. The world needs more of this, especially from men. I have so many other thoughts on the topic (I’ve typed and deleted half a dozen already) but suffice it to say, thanks for letting us in. Love you guys.
Yuck! There plenty of political podcasts. Don’t make this pen podcast another one.
LOVE this podcast! It’s mostly about pens, but some other stationery is in the mix too (it’s the PEN addict after all). Was my first introduction to fountain pens a few years ago and I’ve listened to every episode since. If you like pens, especially fountain pens, this is your show. Brad completely geeks out over everything, Myke attempts to reign in the thoughts, and it’s fabulous. Love it.
