The Nib Section

An entertaining podcast about fountain pens. I love and miss this podcast so much.

Perhaps a guilty pleasure admission but this is my favorite podcast. So fun and informative. I really enjoy the chemistry between the hosts - makes this an easy, casual listen. Also a dangerous show for my wallet. Where did you guys go? Please come back!

I discovered "The Nib Section" a few odd weeks ago, and sadly I'm nearly finished listening to all the episodes. The banter among the rotating panel of hosts and guests is always witty and good natured, as well as organized and thoughtfully structured. Opinions are wide-ranging and ubiquitous, even if consensus is (thankfully) not. The panel's tastes and preferences is quite balanced from host-to-host, and there's always a member who's correctly aligned with my opinion on most topics. :-) It's been such a treat to binge thru show after show - basquing in their cheeky humor and breadth of knowledge and experience. Lastly, it must be pointed out that Chuck's show intro's are the best in all of podcasting and cannot be imitated (try as others might!). Please keep them coming, tales of your pen travels are a welcome distraction from workaday life.

This is my first podcast review! Episode 68 was another excellent conversation/frank review—this time, of the Esterbrook pens provided to you all. It’s an excellent example of the quality of this podcast. I always appreciate everyone’s authenticity. Their questions of their guests are thoughtful, and they all clearly take their work/roles very seriously. And, they all seem so clearly fond of each other. All of this makes for a podcast I look forward to every time. It’s not just one I have on in the background, while I do something else. In addition, these folx demonstrate such thoughtfulness and caring about things other than pens and stationery; such mental health and awareness of social & racial justice issues.
