The trio reunites, and Erasable is over the hill! After over 55 hours recording, it's time to pull out the black balloons and suggestive birthday cards. Andy, Johnny, and Tim cover a slew of fresh points and discuss how their pencil habits and preferences have changed since the show’s conception. Also, Tim’s been really into the Grateful Dead, which may or may not explain his absence of late.

Tonight, we have done some time-traveling and are very happy to bring you a true American Pencil Hero. Your hosts coast through our usual Bi-Weekly Pencil Awesomeness, with Fresh Points and Pencil Opinions galore. Then we put up a truly special Skype connection and talk to Henry David Thoreau himself. Join us for a veritably anachronistic episode of Erasable.

In this historic episode of Erasable, the guys experiment with a lifestream during the episode. So forgive us if we're distracted by a chat room from time to time. In this episode, we're discussing the big news from the last couple of weeks! A new Field Notes edition, a new Blackwing Volumes edition, the Steinbeck Pencil World Tour, and way, way, more.

Your three pencil hosts are all back together again, and we are joined by our favorite pencil shopkeep, Caroline Weaver. She tells us about the allure of Japanese pencils and lists a few of her favorite Japanese offerings. We ditch the fake drink segment and replace it with Unprecedented Insight into our true Drinking Tastes.

In this episode, Tim flies solo and chats with Mike Dudek from The Clicky Post and Dudek Modern Goods. Mike and Tim talk about the origins of the Dudek Modern Goods pen/pencil stands, why people who love good pencils and fountain pens suffer from similar brands of insanity, and when to say “enough is enough” and focus on using this stuff. Basically, Mike and Tim help you from turning into the Thorin Oakenshield of pencils. 

Tonight, we are joined by the amazing Cody Williams, maker of beautiful bags, nifty notebook covers and wonderful wallets. Your hosts rap with our Red-Bearded Friend about leather, pencils, paper and general awesomeness. Join us for more bizarre cocktails and our Pencil of the Week.

Lots of people hoard limited edition pocket notebooks, and lots of people use them. In this episode, your hosts reveal intimate details about their own notebook use and abuse and share some of their contents. This is a very special, cuddly episode of Erasable that will keep you awake at night — at least until we release another episode in two weeks.

Due to popular demand, Andy, Johnny and Tim have compiled a list of their current top five pencils. The guys discuss their lists, chat about the Blackwing 725, and the new Field Notes Workshop Companion edition. Possibly the first Pencil Podcast Review of the KUM Masterpiece in North America, your hosts also wax graphisophical about what might be the best longpoint blade sharpener ever.

On the occasion of our thirtieth episode, we are joined by Chris Rothe, of Baltimore’s Write Notepads & Co. We rap with Chris about brass-ruled paper, his left-handed pencil designs and WNP&Co’s philanthropic work, as well as discuss some new developments in the stationery-by-subscription world.

While we spoke briefly about the first Erasable Book Club Book, The Perfection of the Paper Clip by James Ward on the last episode, tonight we really dig in. We also have stories to tell about the first Material World meet-up between two of our hosts and return visits to CW Pencil Enterprise. Listen in to see if you share a favorite chapter with The Guys and to find out the truth of Andy’s really being taller in real life.

Who needs fancy fountain pens and archival inks for writing when the Journalling Bug hits you? If you’ve got a pencil, you’ve got a medium which will allow your deepest thoughts to last until you are just a little pile of carbon atoms yourself. The guys rap about journalling in pencil, announce the giveaway winners from our anniversary. And Fresh Points. There’s always Fresh Points. And Johnny almost gets voted out of the show! But fear not: he's still with us.

(Cue party music) Has it been a year already? Your favorite Pencil Pushers are starting off their second year of Casting the Pod, AND celebrating International Pencil Day, with an amazing episode. In addition to three weeks’ worth of Fresh Points and thoughts on the spring 2015 Field Notes, we are lucky enough to be joined by Caroline Weaver, proprietor of CW Pencil Enterprise, an actual wooden pencil shop in New York. Tune in for details about multiple excellent giveaways and for all manner of penciliciousness.

In our second all-Fresh Points episode, we take a breather before our upcoming one year anniversary. We also dish on the Palomino Blackwing 602, one of the most talked-out pencils available today. Just a note: Due to a Skype fart, the last part of this show was recorded several days later than the first part.

Tonight Andy, Johnny and Tim venture into Paper Territory. We are proud to present our first Paper Episode, in which we discuss the seemingly ubiquitous softcover pocket notebook. Which have the best paper for graphite? Which have the most durable covers? The best bindings? Listen up to find out. You might find your new favorite pocket paper.
