“LOVE this podcast! It’s mostly about pens, but some other stationery is in the mix too (it’s the PEN addict after all). Was my first introduction to fountain pens a few years ago and I’ve listened to every episode since. If you like pens, especially fountain pens, this is your show. Brad...”Read full review »

“I first started listening to The Pen Addict when I was 13 or 14? Maybe? I was completely obsessed then, stopped listening for a while (but kept the pen/stationery addiction), and now I’m back at 22. Even when I don’t know the latest pen news, or even what inks and fountain pen models Brad and...”Read full review »

“Just count how many times Brad says, “right” after each sentence and you’ll lose your train of thought. Add “like” to the sentence structure and you’ll feel as if a 13 year old boy is guiding you through Dunce Land. Like, Right .? Right ? Like, right? I got a pen, right ? And, like, I liked it,...”Read full review »

“Love the show, been listening for years. Noticed a few trends over time that are hurting the show a little:
1) Brands, especially large Japanese brands, know their business better than we do. Not catering to the niche US market is treated with derision at times on the podcast.
2) The podcast is...”Read full review »
