The Pen Addict - Relay FM
The Pen Addict is a weekly fix for all things stationery. Pens, pencils, paper, ink – you name it, and Brad Dowdy and Myke Hurley are into it. Join as they geek out over the analog tools they love so ...

#Introduction time!
My name is Brad, and I talk about stationery. A lot. And in a lot of places:
Blog: PenAddict.com
Podcast: Relay.fm/penaddict
Twitch: Twitch.tv/penaddict
I also make pens at SpokeDesign.com.
Music, Art, Books, Games, and yes, even Sporstball Skeets will be happening, too.
