Lovely discussion and great to know a bit more about Esterbrook.

I love this Podcast, lets me get to know the people in the industry, hear their thoughts, see them. I do not live anywhere close to any pen shows, and this fills the gap.

Would there be an episode with Edison Pen Co? How about Yafa Brands?

Excellent presentation from Ryan and Aziza.

I’m not sure if this was edited but I like seeing the whole video because not everything starts perfect. Few years from now or by episode 100, it’ll be great to see the progress and maybe do some sort of reaction video and share any b-roll. This type of impromptu conversations with some bullet points are what I enjoy and because I listen/watch a lot of podcasts, Joost wearing formal/necktie is memorable.

[markcollins]

Joost, why is your video so messed up?

[marilyngardner]

I had to laugh at Ryan's comment about the Estie in Evergreen. I snagged the last one from a certain online retailer, and it's still my favorite Estie finish. In the future, it would be great to eliminate the background noise -- it is very distracting to hear people talking loudly in the background. Thanks for this new format!

Leonardo's rosewood ebonite was absolutely beautiful on the original MZ from 2018 (I believe). I am lucky to have one, the color is special and the "feel" of the material is warm, perhaps even "cozy" (LOL).

Fountain pens and Christmas trees… what could be better? What more could one want?

[alyssadelrosario]

I hope that Esterbrook comes to the next Dutch pen show! I'd like to try their Esties since I get anxious trying on pen shows. Azizah got that right. All in all, great podcast and I hope to hear more from Appelboom too!

[katjaengelkamp]

Lovely again, thank you. It is great listening to you guys chatting around while I write and splatter with ink. Your connection, Joost, is not that perfect, that’s a bit of a shame. Thanks all of you! ❤

There seems to be a bunch of people from many countries who also lost a lot of money due to the bankruptcy. It is very unfortunate for the company but I feel most for those who lost thousands of Euros from the pre-sales.

[DrHerve]

I really like everything you do for the pen community at large. Unfortunately, Joost's video feed and/or internet connection seems too slow to fully enjoy the stream. All the best.

[glldvmi]

Joost should also grow a "Ryan-beard!"

[AtilioEscobar]

Joost needs to upgrade his internet plan. He’s glitching like a robot 🤖.

Love from Pakistan🇵🇰
I wish we have pen clubs at pakistan too.
