Episode 111: Pretentious Pen Talk

When the chips are down and life seems bleak, leave it to the pen community to brighten your spirits. In this episode, Tom and I discuss the differences between resin, acrylic, and celluloid materials in making fountain pens. Is there a remarkable difference or are we just being pretentious? Also, can you write with fountain pens at a perpendicular angle? All your burning questions are answered - even the ones you never thought to ask. Email us at pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com if you'd like to arrange Socrates' funeral or ask a question about fountain pens, or both!
