Editing The Pen Addict 28/transcript (section)

== Pen Enjoyment ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is excellent. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So, before we go this week, you do have something else, though, didn't you? You have a pen that you've been enjoying.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I do. And, you know, this is not to totally get to backtrack to where we were. I'm hoping that the podcast will serve as more of an introduction and kind of an introductory review. Or I'll feel freer to talk about a lot more pens on the podcast, I think, than, you know, I've always been hesitant to write a review about a pen, have a review, have a conversation about it, and then discuss it on the podcast. I felt like I was kind of duplicating work. But in this case, I feel like I'll probably be doing less reviews, but I think I'll be able to talk about more pens on the podcast. And that's something I look forward to, if that makes sense. So, hopefully, we'll see how that works out. But that's just one of the ideas that I had in the back of my head that, you know, while I may be backing down a little bit on the reviews on the blog, I think it might be even better for the podcast. Yeah. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like, if you have, like, a haul of stuff coming in, you've got a couple of things that you're not too excited about, save you spending an hour writing about them. Just take a couple of minutes and tell us on the show, right? I mean, I think that works a lot better for you.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. And the other thing I would do is, you know, I would have so many products, I would hold them and not discuss them on the podcast, knowing that in a month, I'm going to have a review done on it, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So, now, that will kind of free that whole deal up, and I think it'll be better for the podcast that way.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There's a thing about audio, and as I've done these shows with people, traditionally writers, and it's interesting to see how their opinions change to the way that they write. People get the audio bug. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah. It's true. It's freeing a little bit, and it's still hard to explain without pictures sometimes, you know, when you're talking about, like, highly detailed specifics, but the conversation's a lot better, you know?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, if I don't, if something's not coming across clearly, I can tell you, and you can explain it better.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's exactly right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know, and you can't do that in any other way.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. So, I've got good feelings about the podcast future, if you will.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Good.
