This is a great podcast if you want to learn about Japanese pens. The two main host do not have filters and just say it as it is, you want that. I especially like their opinion about gatekeepers of the hobby and their soft spot for inks. If you want to learn about Sailor nibs and sparkling pens this is a great resource. As soon as we can travel Tokyo is part of the itinerary.
Keep it up CY and Jacob! Shout out to Alesa and Khuê.
Awesome podcast to get updated!
I love this podcast for the latest updates and news about the fountain pen (and ink) scene in Japan! CY and Jacob always have new and exciting things to share which makes me want to get more pens and explore deeper down this rabbit hole. Other than news, I also learn more about the different intricacies of fountain pens and its history which is always fun. The hosts are fun and their sometimes conflicting opinions and views are what makes this podcast very interesting because you get different perspectives! Keep up the great work!
