Author: Record of Hobbies November 1, 2025 Duration: 53:07
Frank talk about reasons of his delayed episode - his Taiwan Trip. Many things have changed, but the people there stayed the same. Let’s take a scroll through Frank’s photo app and discusses what he saw and experience in Taiwan.

There's a particular kind of quiet satisfaction found in the tactile world of ink and paper, a realm where Fountain Pen and Stationery makes its home. From Record of Hobbies, this podcast is less about mere product reviews and more about the stories and craftsmanship behind the tools we use to think and create. Each conversation delves into the nuances of nibs, the chemistry of inks, and the enduring appeal of well-made notebooks, exploring how these objects shape our daily rituals. You'll hear from artisans, collectors, and everyday enthusiasts who share a deep appreciation for the details, offering practical insights alongside broader reflections on the hobby. It’s a space for both the newly curious and the long-time aficionado to deepen their understanding, whether discussing the history of a pen maker or a simple technique to improve handwriting. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that go beyond the surface, celebrating the slow and intentional pleasures that fountain pens and fine stationery bring to a hurried world. This is a podcast for anyone who finds joy in the scratch of a nib on paper and believes the tools of expression matter.
