Episode 190 12/2/23

Great show and loved the Field Notes coverage which I have subscribed to for years but great to hear all the details that I knew nothing about. I’m in on the Wednesday freebies which I’ve never missed one of them. I bought the Musgrave purple pencils also, thanks.

Always interesting

Three smart, funny guys and their guests talk pencils, paper, books, music and life. The focus may be stationery but as happens when friends get together all kinds of things get discussed. I learned early not to read the brief description of an episode and skip it because I didn't think I'd be interested. Every episode has held my attention so I'm now listening to all of them in order.

Hmmm

Trying to be pretentious … are they too sophisticated 😅
Not sure they are at all aware of reality of American life
