Episode 160: Fins ’n Nibs

The Pentertainment Podcast ·

2023/04/20

Tom and I kick off this week's episode with a dark discussion about Platinum's blackest black ink - Chou Kuro. Will it be a stainer like Baystate Blue? Will you need to visit a pharmacy every time you clean the pen? I talk about a new pen that came from Niv at Monteverde called The People of the World. Plus, we tease a new exclusive pen design that will appear soon on the Goldspot Pens website. Name my new betta fish! There will be a giveaway prize for the winner! E-mail your entries to

2023/04/06

While we do start out the episode talking about breeding shrimp and Bryce's jailbroken betta fish, Tom shares a dissatisfying flex nib experience. It was like being served cold pizza after waiting 2 hours. You'll see. It will make sense. Or, maybe not. That will be the true test of your podcast loyalty.

Episode 158: Of Fish and Pens

The Pentertainment Podcast ·

2023/03/29

After dealing with two separate illnesses, the boys are back to record a new episode to catch up on all the great goings-on in the pen world. Although, how do you top the introduction of the greatest pen ever made in the history of anything made...ever? Answer: you don't. You only make accessories (like the Endless Companion leather pen case) for the greatest pen ever made. So, now that the entire pen industry is ruined, we could only talk about different topics - like fish, and the Last of Us

2023/03/14

People made fun of Kevin Thiemann for having poor handwriting. So, naturally, he built a business designing and selling fountain pens to prove the haters wrong. In this episode, Kevin shares his story of how he started Fountain Pen Revolution from small stationery stores in India to opening up his own shop in Texas.

The Pentertainment Podcast ·

2023/03/08

In this week's episode, we have not one, but two guests who have been in the hobby of collecting pens for much longer than Tom and I combined. Mario Campa and Michael Bloom run the New York Metropolitan Pen Show (formerly known as the Long Island Pen Show). From squirting ink all over each other in grade school to selling five-figure fountain pens in the hot basement of a Times Square hotel, they've seen it all. It's an enlightening conversation into the business of running a pen show (spoiler: it's

The Pentertainment Podcast ·

2023/02/15

Guest Erik (@clydesdalegravel) joins Tom and me for a special episode on mental health awareness. As you may already know, the topic of ADHD is very close to me. Erik shares his story as a parent of a child with ADHD and how he became involved in "The Ride for Mental Health" a charity ride that raises money for the education, research, and treatment of mental illness including anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse.

In this episode, Tom and I talk paper as we both received Endless notebooks from our friend (and podcast sponsor) Bryce from Luxury Brands. I share some things you probably shouldn't do with a notebook. Tom shares some pens sitting on his desk at the Goldspot office. Maybe I can get him to give away more stuff...

This week's episode is a bit messy. Tom and I recap how we spent Fountain Pen Day and what we spent (or did not spend) on pens that day. We discuss how Benu is one of the most innovative pen companies in the world for making the new Skulls & Roses pens. I share a hilarious story from my childhood that takes a dark turn. Plus, we answer a couple of e-mails (pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com if you want to ask us anything to be answered in a future episode). Overall, it's the kind of spontaneous,
