Brian Goulet and Drew Brown of Gouletpens.com are starting a new regularly published podcast around the subject of fountain pens, ink, paper, and fine writing. They're doing this because fountain pens are still a thing, and because they love pens and want to share what they've learned in 10+ years of being "in the business" of fine writing. In this episode, Brian lays out the format of the show, talks about how it will work, what you can expect from it, and how to engage with them as they put out future episodes. Be sure to subscribe to get each episode as they release it! This will also be available on the Goulet Pen Company YouTube channel in video form.
