Myke Hurley and Brad Dowdy finally meet! Joined by Ana of The Well-Appointed Desk, they talk about their experiences at the pen show, and it’s all very exciting, even just as a listener. Brad completes his sealed Field Notes collection with Butcher Orange, too! I’m looking forward to more stories from them after they have a chance to wrap up and process everything.

Good Job, Brain! Trivia & Quiz Show Podcast
I love this podcast so much, I lament there’s only one episode per week. One of their latest episodes, #149, was about collecting, and as a collector of many things, I really enjoyed it. Other episodes I recommend: #78 in which they talk about the no. 2 pencil and #33 with the office theme.
