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.

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.
