The Erasable Podcast Tim, Johnny and Andy

This is a fun episode, folks. We’re joined by Carol Beggy, a longtime listener, group member, newspaper journalist, and author of “Pencil”, one of the latest books in the Bloomsbury Object Lessons book series, joins us to talk about her book and the object of all of our affections. We chat about the wonders of the newspaper supply cabinet of the 1900s, Thoreau, collecting pencils, and much, much more.Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonPencil (Object Lessons, by Carol Beggy)Object Lessons seriesJohn C.

It’s been ten years, folks. In this episode, we talk to some of our favorite recurring guests — Brad Dowdy, Caitlin Elgin, Les Herger, and Caroline Weaver — and reminisce about the last decade. We even have a cool swag bag that you can buy to help us celebrate! Plus, way more potato content than you probably wanted.Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonAll About The Musette BagPen AddictComfortable Shoe StudioCaitlin ElginThe Locavore (Caroline’s latest venture)Potato Pencil Lovin’ (a song about making a potato pencil written by AI, prompted by Tim)Your HostsJohnny  Gamber Pencil Revolution @pencilutionAndy Welfle Woodclinched @awelfleTim Wasem @TimWasem
