Customer Reviews
So informative and utterly pen-abling
I love the insider knowledge that both CY and Jacob offer . Who knew there was so much joy to be shared with pens , artists like Hiroko Bokumondoh, paper etc. I enjoy CY and Jacob’s banter and review of trends / products. As a very very new FP enthusiast, this podcast keeps me entertained during my work commute.
Like sitting in a room with friends
I've been (dangerously) enjoying this podcast for a few months now. I love the mood that CY and Jacob set, and the podcast sounds like friends sitting in a cafe chatting over their favourite hobby, which makes it a great relaxing listen. I enjoy the juxtaposition of CY's energy against Jacob's calming presence.
I really love the Japanese focus the show has. Being a major lover of Sailor Exclusives, its wonderful to hear them being talked about, as well as possible releases upcoming. I mentioned at the beginning that this podcast is dangerous, as listening to it and keeping the show notes open is bad for the wallet.
Well done Alesa
This episode great with good vibrant discussion
