Recorded between a noisy East London bar and the beautifully minimalist Mark+Fold shop, this episode is a blend of celebration, nostalgia, and stationery-fueled creativity. Apologies for some of the audio quality - London doesn't have many quiet bars and restuarants! You’ll hear: The Stationery Freaks origin story — how a shared love of pens and notebooks sparked a 7-year podcast Why Mark+Fold’s aesthetic hits so deeply for creatives How notebooks help ideas become real — from novels to meetings to films What Helen did and didn’t buy (and what Rob tried to encourage…) Plus two brilliant spontaneous mini-interviews: Terri , a writer whose tiny handwriting and Bangkok-sourced micro-nib pens inspired us both Vicky , a second-generation bookbinder behind the stitching of Mark+Fold’s planners and notebooks It’s a celebration of longevity — Mark+Fold’s 10 years, Stationery Freaks’ 7 years — and the creative habits, tools, and people that keep us all moving from idea → creation .
