Recorded under the waning gibbous moon of early November 2020, at a time when not every joke was Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Ted and Adam talk movies of the early '00s, How to Write One Song, niche radio, and more.

The centennial episode features a characteristically under-stated celebration with Ryan, Ted, and Adam looking back to notebooks from a more innocent time, then reflecting on how our note-taking habits have evolved over time.

Enjoy this trip down memory lane. Here are some favorite moments from the first ten episodes. Yes, the first few clips have our vocals isolated on opposite channels. I wasn’t going for a binaural effect, I was just really screwing things up a couple years ago.

Fall is in the air, the yard pools are all packed away, and beach house walls are talking. Adam and Ted cover the latest from Field Notes, some new stationery additions, and the pleasures of smelling nice for once.

Light saber battles, Vermont farms in the '40s, and maybe we're all inside a computer program. Also pens from Ohto, pencils from CW, inks from J. Herbin, and pencils from the past.

David Lynch makes appearances throughout the episode, we discuss drawing and art to pass the time, Adam updates us on how we’re scaring/preparing our children, and we talk Blackwing pencils (shocking) and the new Field Notes national parks series.

This week Adam falls for the classic lemonade stand scam, Ted replaces a filter (or does he?), the wisdom of Louis Armtstrong, all the new Blackwing pencils, and more.

Ted gets back from vacation with a few thoughts, Adam and his kids develop a robust menu of curses, and we pretend to get to the bottom of the seed-mailing scam.

Ted's out this week so Adam discusses the 1990 film Slacker with guest Dan Kugler. This episode is a conversation about Slacker, which they have been talking and emailing about for years. The entire episode is about Slacker, not notebooks. The movie captures an analog lifestyle that doesn't exist anymore and is relevant to Take Note interests.

Pencils take top billing in this episode, while Ted reads a classic and Adam looks back to a notebook “glitch.”
