Show Notes
This week, host June Thomas talks to writer and podcaster Brad Dowdy, who makes his living as a pen and stationary enthusiast. In the interview, Brad explains how he was able to quit his full-time job in I.T. and turn his passion into a career. He also breaks down the many facets of his job, from his “Pen Addict” blog and podcast to his newsletter and Twitch streams.
After the interview, June and co-host Isaac Butler discuss what makes a great pen and how to schedule your days as a freelancer.
In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, Brad explains what “pen shows” are all about.
