Breathe in, breathe out. Tom and I answer some e-mails sent to the pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com address, including one about playing the flute. We also grapple with fear, talk about the latest Montegrappa Batman pen, and get into a strange and haunting conversation that might make you look at your pens (and pennies) in a different way.

I'll be frank - being a pen distributor isn't as sexy of a title as it sounds. Surprising, I know. However, our friends at Luxury Brands of America (LBA) do a phenomenal job at bringing the world's most exciting writing brands into the hands of North American fountain pen enthusiasts. One such brand is Waldmann. In Germany, it's more popular than bread (probably). However, not many people in the USA know about it. Luxury Brands imports them to spread the word about these amazing pens. After writing with the Waldmann Tango and the Tuscany fountain pens, I see the appeal. I think you should, too.
