The Pen Addict Podcast: Episode 694 - Orange Is the Worst

The Aston Martin Cygent, relative to today’s discussion.

I will not stand for this Orange slander!

Ok, I’m the one who said it, but still. That’s the least of our concerns this week, as Myke and I try to sort out what the upcoming price increases and changes to some of our favorite brands mean. The short version is prices are going up, and our spending power is going down. I feel like we will have a lot of follow-up on this one.
