    Turn the Nib

    Brad and Myke turn the piston on the new Kaweco Sport, and then turn the nib on the Sailor TUZU, a new entry-level pen hitting the market soon. Plus, what do they think about the new LAMY AL-Star releases?

    Mellow Writing Taste

    Does LAMY know what they are getting into with Uni-ball? Just this week, Uni has launched a new Jetstream ink formulation, and a new Kuru Toga engine mechanism. And, the Kuru Toga isn’t as popular as the Uni Pin Fineliner apparently!

    It's Orange Obviously

    This episode is full of surprises, the biggest of which is Brad going back on everything he ever said about international paper standards. We also break down the Uni-ball Pen Bracket, and get to the real surprise in the last segment of the show.

    Mitsubishi Pencil Co. buys Lamy. Dark Lilac lands in the New York Times. Memes are where you find the true details. What is this timeline we are living in, and how fun is it?

    Hi Cliff

    Can we finally put the Lamy Dark Lilac saga to rest? One can hope. Brad does have all of the new Safari releases on hand and gives his first impressions, plus he and Myke do a full draft of Pilot Iroshizuku inks.

    Do Not Attribute to Malice That Which Could Be Attributed to Other People Not Caring as Much as You Do About That One Hyper Specific Thing

    But is it really Dark Lilac? Brad and Myke try to sort out what Lamy is up to, which is a sisyphean task. That doesn’t stop them, nor does it stop Brad from a temporary Sailor moratorium lifting. The Ninja’s did it!

One of my favorite stationery podcasts

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.

The Office Ladies Gave You A Shoutout! I’m So Thankful They Did!

I am so glad The Office Ladies Podcast told us about you! I have a deep love you pens, but never though thought to look for a podcast about it.. I am a total fan of this outstanding podcast! I will be listening every time you give us a new one, along with catching up on every single one you have put out! Thank you for this! I don’t feel so weird about my love of pens now. ✒️💯🖌

Deadly

Deadly navel gazing. Heard about this on All of It and being a pen lover I was interested. “help me find a pen cup” Are you kidding?
