Being ecologically-minded citizens of the world, we don't like the idea of just throwing away perfectly good paper and pencils. This is especially salient this time of year, when kids are bringing home piles of stuff from their desks and lockers. Tune in this week for a discussion of what to do with all that material.

It’s the unofficial start to summer in the United States, and we’re here with white pants and pencils to check in before school is out and everyone starts going on vacations. We cover lots of summer goodness, from Baronfig’s latest journal to cross-country hitchhiking.

Tonight, the guys are joined by Ashleigh Coaxum, the proprietor of Baltimore’s newest stationery shop, The Paper Herald. Ashleigh talks about her stationery origin story, what it’s like to open a shop during the pandemic, and some of the cool stuff she stocks. Plus: new Field Notes, a book club announcement, and — don’t worry — plenty of bad puns.

We’re well into 2022, so we would be remiss if we didn’t talk about planners! We discuss how we keep track of appointment and to-dos, and whether or not we can avoid digital calendars (answer: no).
