Brad Was Wrong the Entire Time
One of us was on their game this week before our big London event, and it wasn’t Brad. How many times can one person be wrong in one episode? Spoiler alert: a lot.

A Formal Vendetta

Limited Edition Zip Ties
Brad went all Captain Capitalism on us this week, discussing all of the new product collaborations he has been working on this year. Also, where does the Caran d’Ache 849 rank in the list of popular Japanese pens?

I Like Bananas
Brad is on vacation this week, so what better time to answer your AskTPA!

Beach-to-Ocean Ratio
Brad is heading to the beach next week, so what better time to ask what he thinks about Pilot’s latest Vanishing Point Limited Edition, Seashore. Maybe he will be playing Scarabeo with his family, and can bring along the perfect scorekeeping pen.

Customer Reviews
A n excellent (if niche) podcast!
I have just finished listening to every episode of this podcast, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recently was introduced into the world of fountain pens, and this podcast has been an amazing companion as I’ve learned and explored the hobby. A big thanks to Brad and Myke!
Finally someone who gets me!
I love pens and pencils. I am constantly on the lookout for the perfect pen or mechanical pencil. Going to a Staples store is like being in a toy store for me. I know this podcast sounds like it is made for Geeks, but really it's not. Listen to a few episodes and you will be a 'pen addict' also.
Favourite podcast
If you have even a slight interest in pens, tune in. I started at the beginning and have enjoyed learning with Myke and Brad, and now get much more enjoyment out of using pens and paper than I ever have. Great podcast!
