Have a listen and find out what Candace has been up to and then I blurt out a bunch of purchases because I apparently (obviously?) have no self-control.

Come hang out with these ladies!

Azizah and Candace are two very talented women who exude joy and enthusiasm for their craft with this semimonthly audio offering. They create a very informal, hang-out like atmosphere for their listeners covering a wide array of fountain pen-related topics which are very informative and include experience-based opinions. Links are provided to the topics presented that offer the listener an inspiring visual aspect to the podcast. The show is elegantly produced by another accomplished woman named Chi who occasionally participates in the conversation as well. Quite possibly the most entertaining quality is their very humorous, personal quirk-sharing when it comes to their fountain pen hobby . . . ummm . . . obsession!

One of the best!

Love love love the show

Azizah and Candace work so well together. Your back and forth is very smooth. I really love the show. You both are very informative and make this show fun as well. The only problem I have is I want everything you talk about. FOMO. Lol. Keep up the great work here. I have to agree with Azizah on a certain pen company that needs to have better nib and feed control. Had issue with an MB pen not writing. I had it taken care of and the pen writes beautiful now.
