This week were pondering pencils. Wood pencils, mechanical and our perfect pencil picks. Plus we've pulled together a purposely premeditated, but polite parley on the purest pencil form. Peek into our pencil piles and prepare your prominent perspective on these perpetually profound, yet sometimes pleasantly plain and pointed procurements.

I think I've gone too far with the p-words.

This week we're laying it all on the table, and desk, and countertop. We pretty much just have stuff everywhere. We're all about stationery EDC this episode and we invite you to look in our pockets, but not in a weird way.

The little sketchbook Jeremy carries:

Take a listen as Samantha performs the short story "Lighthouse 4", written by Jeremy.

Author's Commentary: This whole experience was such a treat for me. I know that Sam does voice acting, but to hear my own written words performed in such a way was quite surreal. I feel like a real author right now! Look out Steven King! In all seriousness, I really loved her performance and interpretation of my story. The way she made each character distinct helped the pacing of the story and dialog. There was some subtext that I tried to emphasize where the ship was almost a character itself, and Sam brought that to the surface nicely. She captured the tension of the scene without being overdramatic. This was definitely a *chef's kiss* performance! Thank you, Sam for lending your talent. I hope the audience enjoys as well!

This week we sort of split the episode into two subjects. Sam educates me on book binding and leatherwork, and I talk about the fun of ephemera and fun stuff to put in your notebook.
