The Pen Addict

Brad and Myke are so excited to kick off the new year with everyone’s favorite topic - price increases! Now that we are seeing some of the new prices go live, what does that mean for the hobby as a whole?

There was lots of excellent feedback regarding artificial Gold this week, so look for our new Kickstarter in 2026 where we raise funds to build a nuclear reactor in the stars. There is also news of a new LAMY x uniball product which has Brad thrilled.

Who knew Brad liked pens so much? He and Myke dig into what they are currently using, and Brad could not be stopped! Seriously, somebody stop him.

Among the many seasons that we are currently in, none is less interesting than Incoming Price Increase Season. The big three Japanese brands have changes coming, so what does it all mean? Also, Brad slanders an orange pen.

Brad is joined by Ana Reinert to get you ready for this upcoming holiday season with a stack of stationery gifting suggestions.
