If you’ve ever wanted a comprehensive history of fountain pen filling systems...this is not that. However, Sharyn and Di are joined by Tom May to discuss overall trends in ink-filling systems from the early 20th century to today, the potential for innovation or refinement in those mechanisms going into the future, and what our personal favourites are.
The guest this episode is the OG pen addict himself, Brad Dowdy. He chats with Diana about his blog, his podcast, and the joys and travails and responsibilities of being able to make a livelihood out of what you love.
This episode features Diana (@thegrynne) with special guest Brad Dowdy (@penaddict).
