Once again, really sorry about the static sound at some points in this week's episode. We are going to be replacing some equipment to fix it for next time.

Brad's Active Notebooks

2013-06-13 at 15-45-13 — **136: Have You Seen This Pen?** Jan 05, 2015
Fun fact: Brad ignores Myke while they record. At least that's what is discovered this week as Brad so excitedly repeats something Myke had told him the week before.

After patching things up, the guys also share stationery resolutions for 2015 and dig into how you can work on improving your handwriting.

In this episode Brad and Myke keep it all 'happy fun time', at least until the end of the episode when Brad goes off the rails a bit. They discuss the idea of punting on a started Field Notes notebook, justification for owning so many pens, and penspotting in public. Then, the Esterbrook hammer drops.
