Brad and Myke are back together, and they get METAL! Ok, not really, that was just them fawning over last week’s guest.

Brad is joined this week by special guest Anabelle Hiller. While known for her current work with Appelboom Pen as their in-house nib and repair superstar, her story is much bigger than that. We dig into her musical past, her goldsmithing future, and how all of that plays into her love for fountain pens.
