(On February 28, 2020, Johnny, Tim and Andy met up in person — for the first time ever — in Baltimore to hang out, get tattoos, and record an episode in front of a live studio audience at the Baltimore Pen Show. This is that recording.) Since we were recording in front of an audience at a pen show, we thought it only fitting to make the case for wood case — pencils, that is. Joined by pen show superstars Ana Reinert and Brad Dowdy, and fellow graphiteer Dade Scolardi from The Weekly Pencil and the RSVP Stationery Podcast, we laid out what we hope is a compelling case for those who are into fancy fountain pens to pick up and consider a humble wooden pencil.

We have been talking about the exciting new brand and marketing efforts of Musgrave for a few months now. Tonight, we are lucky to have creative directors Nicole and Tim Delger on the show with us, to chat about rebranding an American pencil icon.Show Notes and LinksNicole DelgerTim DelgerMusgrave Pencil CompanyErasable Episode 106Baltimore Washington International Pen ShowErasable PatreonThe Body Keeps the ScoreStar Trek: PicardAnd It’s Still AlrightNathan CoulterThe MiniaturistThe Year of Magical ThinkingDecomposition BooksWrite Notepads & Co Open HouseHipster Logo Design GuideOur GuestsNicole Delgernicoledelger.com@nicoledelger on InstagramTim Delgertimdelger.com@tdelger on InstagramYour HostsJohnny GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem
