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! She talks about how her passion for Field Notes have become an obsession. Plus, we review the new Blackwing Volume 42, the Write Notepads 7th Anniversary edition, and lots more.

Finding the best blogs, podcasts, Instagrams, and photographers in our little world is hard enough. Try picking your favorite! Tonight, your hosts torture themselves picking just one from each category to include in this week’s List of Stationerysphere Superlatives.
