== Description ==

On the first episode of The Pen Addict, Brad and Myke introduce who they are and give a little background in to how this show was concieved. They go on to give you some hints of what's to expect over the coming weeks before launching in to a Glossary of terms you will likely hear in future episodes. <ref>Description taken from the official Pen Addict podcast page https://www.relay.fm/penaddict/1</ref>

* [[Liquid ink]] - water based ink that flows well and dries quickly. Bleeds.
* [[Needle tip]] - The point of the pen is shaped like a needle that you would poke yourself with. Example: Hi tec C
* [[Conical tip]] - shaped like a cone.

== Further Information ==

Myke discuses the fact that this podcast is an outgrowth of the Enough podcast. Brad had kicked around the idea also. Brad was a guest on episode 104 of the Enough Podcast.

Brad was working for [[JetPens]] at the time of the recording.

Brad discusses the start of the Pen Addict site. It came from his search for and love of fine tipped pens. The pen that started the Pen Addict site was a 0.38 mm Uniball Signo RT from Office Max. Brad wanted to write a block that was written and not typed.

Myke is left handed.

== Running Jokes ==
This marks the first discussion of the side effects of being a pen addict.

Brad is trying to convert Myke to fine point pens.

Door bell rings and Brad knows immediately it is UPS with a delivery of jetstream pens.
