The Erasable Podcast

It’s been a few weeks since you heard our voices, but we’re back for a fun new year of pencil podcasting! We go through some fresh points, like Johnny’s bookbinding supplies, Andy’s new desk, and Tim’s Try-Rex.

Tonight, our good friend (and RSVP co-host) Less Harper joins us for a chat about bookbinding, the craft that she and Johnny practice to produce unique creations to hold our thoughts and sketches. We also talk about the new Field Notes, several new releases from Blackwing, and So Much More™.Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonComfortable Shoe StudioRSVP PodcastPencil Revolution PressLuciferGet BackCall Us What We CarryMiracle and WonderThe Midnight LibraryThe Mandalorian Radio HeadspaceMusgrave Standard Writing NotebookField Notes “Ignition”Blackwing Vol 93DAS BookbindingSea LemonHandmade Books Made EasyAlisa GoldenEster K.

This week, we’re looking back on 2021 and talking about what we’re most thankful for — both within the stationery community, and beyond. Plus, we take a look at some of the newest Blackwing X collabs, a few of the new Musgrave stuff, and a discussion around Wes Anderson’s new movie, which might be peak Wes Andserson.Show Notes & LinksErasable PatreonThe French DispatchThe SearcherThe War on Drugs I Don’t Live Here AnymorePoems of GratitudeThe Long CallDopesickThe Next Thing You EatAxiom’s EndBiden and “I, Pencil” Blackwing x Preservation HallBlackwing Composition BookRhodia Composition Books at Gentleman StationerPencil Revolution Press StationeryMusgrave NotebookMusgrave Factory SecondsDraplin x Freewaters SlippersCanon Pixma G6020Your HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem

Okay, not really! But for tonight it’s just Johnny and Andy, talking about just the Fresh Points. We have some new Field Notes, new Blackwings, a new Squire, and other cool things, including one (or two) last orders from our friends at CW Pencil Enterprise.Show Notes & Links:Erasable PatreonWoodclinched on EtsyPencil Revolution on EtsyField Notes HarvestBlackwing 651Ted LassoNo Time to DieIn Praise of WalkingThe IckabogUnforgottenCW Pencils | Commemorative CWPE Advertising PencilCW Pencils | 2021 Shop Sticker by Meredith MiotkeCW Pencils | Grand Finale Emilio Braga A5 notebookCW Pencils | Natural Baseball Scoring PencilYour HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem

This week, Tim throws us a curveball. Last week, he asked us what our least favorite pencils are, and then he told us that we should only use that pencil for a couple weeks. In this episode, we discuss our experiences. Plus: a set of bummer fresh points, from a friend who lost his stash in a flood, to our favorite pencil store closing.Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonGoFundMe for Harry MarksOn Closing | CW Pencil Enterprise blogDungeons and DaddiesTelegraph AvenueThe DefeatedMost Unwanted ZineThe Magic of WalkingLulaRichZine Reviews in Broken Pencil Magazine: Depression and OCDTarget Up&Up PencilBic Xtra FunTombow 2558Your HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem(Download)

Paper is paper, right? Well, only if you think that pencils are pencils. In this week’s episode, your hosts talk about Unicorn Paper — that special formulation that works well with both pencils and fountain pens. Plus: we discuss our LEAST favorite pencil, and Tim makes us write with them all week to discuss in our next episode.Show Notes & LinksErasable PatreonBullet Journal 2.0The People of PaperSchmigadoonOnly Murders in the BuildingMable John Franny and ZooeyMusgrave Tennessee Round Musgrave GreenbeltPencil Revolution #20Plotter systemSouthworth “Fine Paper” -- 25% cotton, 24lb (wove finish)Southworth “Fine Paper” -- 100% cotton, 24lb (wove finish)Southworth Parchment, 24lb (ivory)HP Premium, 32lbWrite Notepads Leuchtturm 1917Rhoda GoalbookRhodia WebnotebookBaron Fig ConfidantMaruman classic spiralYour HostsJohnny  GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem

This week, we are down one pencil podcaster and up one pen superpodcaster. Brad Dowdy of the Pen Addict joins us to tie up our trio while Andy is away for the week. ZINES! Ever since Ed Kemp launched Pencil of the Week a few years ago and, especially, since he was a guest on this podcast’s Episode 150, zines have been blowing up among stationery content creators and consumers. In this episode, Brad, Tim and Johnny chat about the connection between zines and stationery and the role that these self-published gems play in the larger stationery community.

Join us for a chat about the pencils that we each used during elementary school. With a 9 year age gap between our hosts, coming during the crucial years of a trade agreement with China and the onset of the shrinking of the American pencil industry, we’re sure to have a variety of pencils to talk about! Plus: Olympics, new Field Notes, and many, many green ink samples.Show Notes & LinksErasable PatreonThe Whole Love (Wilco)Day TripperUnderlandThe Night ManagerThe TunnelChanging PlaneField Notes: TrailheadBlackwing Lab .7.29.21Pencil Revolution #19The Pen Post #1J.
