Dave R1 ,

Good effort - big file size though!

Generally enjoyable podcast about wooden pencils, despite the outbreaks of Field Notes fanboyism from time to time. Do wonder if they could reduce the nitrate from 192 kb - leads to hefty file sizes which is less than ideal if downloading to a phone with no SD card support.

Ooff

I feel like if I keep listening this podcast will kill my love for pencils. It’s soooo boring. It’s like hosts are mumbling and rumbling about nothing and it takes ages to get to some kind of useful information. I gave it a fair go, tried couple of episodes but this is just draining life out of me :( very sad as I love pencils.
