Podcasts about Blackwing

We're back, after two months away! Sorry for the silence, friends. But we think we have something really special for you — a guest we've wanted to come on the show for almost 6 years. It's Ian Schon of SCHONDSGN, a craftsman who makes incredible, unique fountain pens. We're talking about his journey to starting his own company, design and engineering challenges that fountain pens present, and his foray into his greatest challenge; making the Monoc, his own fountain pen nib from bars of titanium.For this episode, we recorded video, available to Patreon subscribers! If you're a patron, head over to see our faces and visual examples of many of the things we discuss.

Nine shows, one fast-moving episode, and more plot twists than a late-night forum thread. We kick things off with a cozy isekai where a salaryman hatches a baby black dragon and slowly nudges a broken world toward better habits. It's warm, low stakes, and charming until it drifts into campfire mode—perfect for comfort viewing. From there, we pivot into a mangaka's deadline panic and snack-fueled delusions: relatable, lightly informative, and more diary than deep dive.Craving bigger swings? We unpack a power fantasy where a player wakes as the Blackwing tyrant and learns the world follows the game's novel, not the game—cue a beta tester-turned-Venus playing puppet master while a goddess scripts endless conflict. In a parallel lane, an assassin outgrows a chosen hero and exposes a kingdom bent on weaponizing teens. The show earns points for clean action, early relationship stakes, and demon politics that aren't cartoonishly evil.On the guilty-pleasure front, imagine Food Wars energy swapped for massage therapy: scholarships, fascia, and fanservice collide in a dorm of athletes. Then the crowd-pleaser for internet natives: a rom-com where a game developer gets roasted by a streamer who moves next door. It's meme-literate, painfully honest about creator economics, and funny enough to rewatch, even when the “sister zone” lands like a crit. We also sample a sweet oddball romance about hunting and cooking monsters, and a wild dystopia where Santa is a belief-powered superhero in a world that treats adults as the real monsters. Tragic rules about sleep and a standout theme song make it stick. Finally, we close with a banished support mage who reclaims his value, rejoins a legendary party, and locks horns with a blade master who grooms rivals just to break them.If you want comfort, you've got it. If you want sharper twists, they're here. And if you just want honest scores and quick guidance on what to stream next, we've done the homework. Hit play, argue with our rankings, and tell us your top three.

Du erfährst, wer hinter der Zeitmaschine Aircraft GmbH steht und warum sie exklusiver Partner von Blackwing für Deutschland und Österreich sind.

Frank Miller is regarded as one of the most influential and awarded creators. He began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first gaining notoriety as the artist, and later writer, of Daredevil for Marvel Comics. Next, came the science-fiction samurai drama Ronin, followed by the groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One with artist David Mazzuchelli. Following these seminal works, Miller fulfilled a lifelong dream by doing an all-out crime series, Sin City, which spawned two blockbuster films that he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez. Miller's multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was also adapted into a highly successful film by Zack Snyder. His upcoming memoir, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, is now available for pre-order.This episode is brought to you by: Eight Sleep Pod Cover 5 sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating: EightSleep.com/Tim (use code TIM to get $350 off your very own Pod 5 Ultra.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:14] Aristotle's definition of happiness: Devotion to excellence.[00:03:02] Tools of the trade: Blackwing pencils, India ink, liquid frisket.[00:04:45] Sin City‘s physical creation at “twice up” size.[00:08:06] The toothbrush spatter technique.[00:09:24] Channeling impatience, anger, and violence into dramatic creative work.[00:10:33] What Jack Kirby knew about making comics competitive with cinema's spectacle.[00:11:56] Will Eisner and The Spirit‘s influence on the US market where writer-artist duality is rare.[00:13:33] How Jack Kirby blasted apart the panel grid (and a young Frank's mind).[00:15:49] Push the wall and defy the code.[00:19:54] The ruthless mentorship of Neal Adams.[00:24:57] The genesis of the Elektra amd Daredevil “soap opera.”[00:27:56] Story structure: Start late, end early.[00:29:10] Trusting the muse over rigid methodology.[00:31:15] European invasion: Moebius and Forbidden Planet.[00:32:52] Japanese influence: Lone Wolf and Cub‘s impact.[00:34:30] Cultural differences in depicting violence and motion.[00:36:38] Ronin: Shameless imitation and rebirth.[00:37:28] How does Frank know if something is working (or not working)?[00:39:27] The critical reception of Ronin as a “broken nose.”[00:42:37] The ruthless structure of The Dark Knight Returns.[00:43:40] Mutual elevation with “smartest fan” Alan Moore.[00:48:26] Robert Rodriguez: Angel of goodwill and generosity.[00:49:28] Sin City film: Co-directing and the Director's Guild sacrifice.[00:50:31] Working as a “two-headed beast” with Rodriguez.[00:55:27] Favorite films.[00:58:19] Books and ancient history inspiring 300.[00:59:00] Hollywood lessons: The importance of working with the right people.[01:01:13] The partnership and guidance of Silenn Thomas.[01:02:01] The clarity and creative rejuvenation of getting sober from alcohol.[01:04:48] Advice for aspiring comic artists: Story, story, story.[01:06:20] Learning to draw: Bridgman and Loomis books.[01:08:07] Perspective as a mathematical trick and lie.[01:11:00] Dick Giordano's advice: Lay in blacks first.[01:13:52] Sin City workflow innovation: Batch processing stages.[01:15:48] Dark Horse Comics and creative freedom.[01:17:29] Economy of line work and elegant minimalism.[01:20:46] On collaborating with Bill Sienkiewicz on Elektra.[01:25:20] Billboard wisdom: “Ask every question,” and “Why?”[01:27:08] Challenging pathological conformity.[01:27:39] Parting thoughts and where to find Frank's work.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy October! This very autumnal episode is a short one — just some fresh points and tools of the trade. Johnny's playing too much Mario Kart World, Andy regales us with his trip to New York City, and Tim is designing a thuper thecret  notebook. Plus: we talk about some new Field Notes and feel very old because of the new Blackwing Eras.

Upon their retreat, they'll have to face another even worse threat.CAST:DM: DanJaxor: JoeJJ-89: BobWirjol: XanderBeer: Derek (Cheddar)

In this episode of Stationery Freaks, Rob and Helen dive into the world of rituals and routines, exploring how our favourite stationery tools (along with time and space) can transform tasks into meaningful, mindful moments.Helen discovers other writers are now using Blackwing pencils in her writing class. Rob spent so little time choosing which notebook to use for a business book he's writing (the Rhodia A4 notebook) - that he wonders what is wrong.Rob and Helen also receive a very awesome poem in Zine format from previous guest, Richard. Very cool - check out the newsletter to see photos of it. Check out the interview with Richard about all things Commonplacing.  Rob and Helen discuss the difference between routines (habitual efficiency) and rituals (intentional, mindful practices), and share tips for using stationery to create focused, productive, and inspiring workflows.Also covered :Hobonichi planners and the art of intentional notebook selection + staggering shipping costs!Mark + Fold notebooks for capturing learning and ideasTypewriters for slow writingHow music - from Helen's Gregorian chants and heavy metal, and Rob's HipHop and EDM - can trigger creative flow and rituals (some playlists in the newsletter!)The ideas, thoughts and psychology behind ritual, habit-stacking, and productivityIf you love the feel of ink on paper, the smell of fresh notebooks, the way the pages turn and the joy of creating meaningful routines and rituals with stationery, give this episode a listen. There is also ramble chat about tea and coffee, secret hidden rooms and tunnels, and books about squirrels.Why not check out the newsletter too - https://stationeryfreaks.substack.com/

The prisoner vessel's outbreak has run rampant, seemingly eliminating most of all life on board. Four (mostly) fearless compatriots must follow some of the few signs of life down to solitary confinement to meet a familiar face. They'll hopefully help the doctor on board to escape the prison with a possible vaccine to prevent the scourge to infect the rest of the galaxy.CAST:DM: DanJaxor: JoeJJ-89: BobWirjol: XanderBeer: Derek (Cheddar)

We've got a special episode today. Tyler McCall, co-owner of Chicago stationery shop Pencil & Paper, joins us to talk about the havoc caused by the Trump administration's chaotic tariff policies. These policies aren't just hurting small businesses like Tyler's — they're also driving up costs and creating disruptions for everyday consumers in ways you might not expect. This conversation is for anyone who cares about supporting local shops, stationery or otherwise. And if you're in Chicago, be sure to stop by Tyler's store in Andersonville.

The crew of four misfits awakens aboard a prison vessel with a strange mission at hand to investigate a virus and assist one of the last few doctors in stopping an outbreak before it's too late. When push comes to shove, they must investigate a desolated Star Destroyer to help save themselves, the doctor, and anyone else still alive.CAST:DM: DanJaxor: JoeJJ-89: BobWirjol: XanderBeer: Derek (Cheddar)

The Huntress Podcast is back to talk about this gritty street tale, where a not so ready hero throws his name in the ring, and extra ordinary foes are knocking at the door of our favorite vigilante.   He is a summary from Diane on her Helena Wayne Huntress website: Gotham's newest protector, Blackwing, has been captured by Toro and the Huntress recognises the man in costume as her associate, Charles Bullock. Knowing the Huntress will avoid risking the life of an innocent, Toro decides to take Charley to his boss--the Boa--as "insurance" against the Huntress' capture. The Huntress must now race against the clock to not only capture Toro and the Boa, but to save the life of a dear old friend as well.

Welcome to the first installment of Re-rasable, a new series where we resurface some of our most memorable episodes and interviews from the past ten years.For this inaugural edition, we're rewinding to Episode 106 and our conversation with Henry Hulan, Chairman of the Musgrave Pencil Company. This interview was a true highlight, giving us a rare inside look at the history and craftsmanship of American pencil-making. Even more exciting, it led to the creation of the Musgrave Single Barrel 106—a pencil made from vintage red cedar and numbered after this very episode!Join us as we revisit this special moment in Erasable history.Links & Resources The Erasable Podcast – erasable.us Musgrave Pencil Company – musgravepencil.com Musgrave on Instagram – @musgravepencil Musgrave on Facebook – facebook.com/musgravepencilIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a fellow pencil nerd!

The Anxiety is RealYou can't swing a Blackwing pencil without hearing another creator worrying about generative A.I. And we get it—the ubiquity of generative A.I. tools has soared over the last two years. In this episode we aim to take a deep breath and discuss the topic from a candid but calm position: why authors are worried, why we should be worried and what to do about it (besides anxious posts on social media.)Things to freak out about: a Two Part ListIn service to our measured discussion, we lay a bit of background. Sarina tells us why The Authors Guild is suing OpenAI, and why you should join the Authors Guild. Then we mine two different veins of anxiety: * Column I: Billion dollar AI tools stole our intellectual property to train their models, and…* Column II: AI might take my job.We delve into both these concerns, discussing ongoing litigation, the potential for licensing content to AI companies, and more. We also discuss how AI tools are affecting other parts of the publishing industry (such as audio book narration) and the pervasiveness of generative AI in our everyday lives. #AmReadingKJ: The Paradise Problem, Christina LaurenJess: The Widow on Dwyer Court, Lisa KuselSarina: Nora Goes Off Script, Annabel MonaghanThe Love Hypothesis, Ali Hazelwood Hey readers—KJ here. This episode of #AmWriting is brought to you by my latest, Playing the Witch Card. I wrote this at a moment when I needed more magic in my life—but it turned out to be a book about how until we know who we are and what makes us happy, even magic doesn't help. My main character, Flair, is a total control freak who fears the chaos created by her family deck of Tarot cards and the cookies it inspires her to make until she decides that she can harness their power to control the world and people around her—but that's not what the cards are for at all. I was inspired by what I see as the real magic of Tarot cards—and tea leaves and palm reading and every form of oracle: they help us to see and understand our own stories. As someone for whom stories are pretty much everything, I love that. You can buy Playing the Witch Card on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Bookshop.org and my local indie—and I hope you'll love it too.

For this shorter episode, we're fighting our pre-US election anxiety by talking about handwriting in digital notebooks. Johnny had a few questions about it that we didn't have time to ask Roland in the last episode, so instead he turned to Andy and Tim, both who have some experience writing on a tablet with a stylus, to learn the ins and outs of digital writing.Show Notes and LinksErasable PatreonThe Light PhonereMarkable tabletGoodnotes appKindle ScribeThe Far Side by Gary LarsonYour HostsJohnny GamberPencil Revolution@pencilutionAndy WelfleWoodclinched@awelfleTim Wasem@TimWasem

Your Honda, Acura, Hyundai or Kia is selling driving data to insurance companies as an excuse to hurt enthusiasts. And that is disgusting. UPDATE: General Motors has cancelled its OnStar Smart Driver System, which means you can safely keep driving your Blackwing like it was meant to be driven. === Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === It has recently come to light that three major auto manufacturers have been selling consumer driving data to LexisNexis so that it can be sold to your insurance company and used against you to raise your rates or cancel your insurance. Not only is this a gross violation of your expectation of privacy, but it's also a flawed reporting system. This is especially difficult for Jason, since he so enthusiastically recommends many Honda and Hyundai products — and now has to backtrack. The Civic Type R is off his shopping list together with all Honda, Acura, Hyundai, and Kia products, until their manufacturers can ensure drivers that their data is not being shared. **NOTE: This episode was recorded before Jason drove the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.** Of course, the Carmudgeons don't stop complaining just there, but then go onto a discussion of "corporate conscience" and ethics in engineering including Volkswagen's Dieselgate, the Challenger space ship, the Ford Pinto, and of course Boeing. And United Airlines' Bingo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
