Today we have a big Fresh Points catch-up. Andy remembers Patrick Stewart, can't stop thinking about the Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, and rips open a pack of Draplin's trippy Other Worlds "paper portals" on air. Tim declares the new matte Blackwing Eras his favorite Blackwing ever and gets recognized by a listener in Chicago, while Johnny stocks up on Musgrave's matte-black Blackout Ceres and Nahvalur's Fountain Pen Day pen. Plus fall Field Notes: Hunter's Moon and, for some reason, Pee-wee's Playhouse.
