Tonight we’re nerding out on the science of graphite (one of Lenore’s favorite allotropes of any element). Also, it’s Pi Day! (You’d think Lenore would have found a way to work that in.)

This week we pester Joey Cofone of Baron Fig with questions. We go really deep on the Kickstarter “bag thing” and explore customer service issues and as a bunch of questions about existing products. Joey gives a great interview. A quick note about the audio in this episode. I used a new widget to record the Skype call and it added a lot of reverb on both Dee and Joey. Luckily Dee and I recorded ourselves in separate tracks. I was able to clean up Joey’s to the point where you can listen to it. But there is  a small amount of echo and reverb left that I just couldn’t get rid of. The interview was so good I didn’t

This week we’re introducing our holiday gift guide. What kind of stationery gifts should you gift to people? We look at levels of who to would buy for: the beginner in stationery, the novice, and advanced/fanatic level. We also want to look at giving teachers gifts- and maybe some dos and don’t.

For some of us, back to school means back to the chalkboard. What’s the difference between good chalkboard chalk and bad?    Show links: Gizmodo article on Hagoromo Lapsang Souchong tea from Heine Brothers Baron Fig Mastermind Hagoromo chalk (This one is my favorite of the three Japanese brands I’ve tried). You can try out a smaller box (1 dozen), or just go for it and get the box of 72 sticks. Umajirushi performs almost as well, but is slightly less dense and a little louder in use. Rikagaku sticks are slightly narrower and a little less dense than the other two. It’s an excellent performer but a little louder and a little dustier in use. And just in case

It’s a stationery fan’s favorite time of year: Back to School Sale season. With the back to school sales come amazing sales on paper, pens and pencils. But the discounts can come at an expense of quality. Tonight we dig deep on the whole idea of quality vs cost vs quantity.
