Pencast

Love the show, by far the classiest and most professional and meaningful of all the pen related podcasts that are out there and I listen to about all of them. The timelines are helpful and it’s nice to not have ads and sponsor stuff which the others constantly have which almost monopolizes the time. Thanks.
