In this episode, I discuss burnout and how it applies to the fountain pen hobby if at all. I personally think burnout can happen to anyone in any walk of life. But do we want it to happen in our already niche hobby? What is it? How do we deal with it? Should we deal with it? Lets discuss it.
BENU introduces the Winnie-the-Pooh fountain pen, inspired by the endearing teddy bear created by English author, A.A. Milne, and English illustrator, E.H. Shepard.
The pen is produced in a positive shade of turquoise-blue and showcases the famous hand-painted yellow bear as it first appeared in Milne’s original Winnie-the-Pooh book in 1926. Aiming to delight anyone fond of this cheerful character from childhood.
The pen is set to launch in US retail on June 15, 2024.
MSRP: $280

No this is not click bait. Unfortunately The Odd Oink is no longer able to be a part of the show due to conflicting schedules. I'll explain more in the episode. In the meantime, I talk about retailer and brand loyalty, a concept that I myself have been dealing with in the recent months. I am interested in your options after hearing the episode.

After many requests for a larger case size, Endless has delivered in an incredible fashion! The 10-pen case features a leather divider which also acts as the notebooks holder. This feature allows the length and width of the case to be virtually the same as the 5-pen but it is thicker to accommodate the 5 additional pens! As with the 5-pen companion, the 10-pen Companion comes with one dotted pocket Storyboard notebook!
As always, the Companion features Endless’ innovative adjustable pen loops so you can fit almost any pen! In addition, the cartridge/ converter slot that you all know and love is also still included in the 10-pen Companion!

As I rummage through my childhood, I discover that my love for the movie "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" has had an influence on my love of fountain pens. Kinda weird... but totally relevant. Trust me.
