Episode 230: The Hobonichi To-Do (with special guest Tyler McCall from Pencil & Paper)

The Erasable Podcast

About
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.
