Tim, Johnny, and Andy talk stick to a papery set of fresh points this episode, digging into the latest releases from Field Notes, Write Notepads, and Baron Fig. Andy talks too much about video games, and Tim regales us with his stories from visiting the Hemingway House in Key West.

Filled notebooks. We all have them. Or, we don’t, because we burn them or otherwise dispose of them. Tonight, join Andy, Johnny, and Tim for a somewhat personal episode about what your hosts do with notebooks and journals that are full of their writing.

Bullet journaling is everywhere! But often the books you see are full of colors and drawings and all sorts of ink. Tonight, join your three hosts and special guest Jacob Cecil in a discussion of bullet journaling in dark grey — pencil all the way.

It’s Tim’s birthday today, but he’s here with Andy and Johnny, and a very special guest: Jinnie, editor of the blog Three Staples!

Today as the weather gets warmer across much of North America, we’re talking about writing outside. We discuss some of our favorite places to write out of doors, from balconies to firepits to coffee shops. We have our preferred al fresco tools and methods, and of course, will mentally assemble our proverbial desert island pack.

In this episode, Ana, Caroline and Andi — your favorite hosts — go all in on some of their favorite non-pencil products, like lip balm, boxed wine, Imabari face towels, and more. They talk about where they get their best USPS postage stamp news, and how the Orchard Street Reading Society discusses books. We’re so excited you’ve stuck around for five years. Happy National Pencil Day, everyone!

We do a lot of speculating about Blackwing editions here on the show, but today, Andy and Johnny get the scoop straight from source, with our special guest: Blackwing Brand Manager Alexander Poirier! He discusses all things Blackwing, like the release of the extra-firm Blackwing Natural and the brand-new Volume 811, and even the ideation and creation process behind the Volumes editions.
