Do You Hobonichi? Let's Explore the Well Loved Hobonichi Planner
Episode description
Welcome to Almost Every Month Podcast--ほぼ毎月のポッドキャスト (Hobo maitsuki no poddokyasuto)--A podcast about all things ephemera—journals, planners, pens, paper, ink and more.
In episode 1, host Kimzyn Campbell (they/them) delves into planner culture, defining the Hobonichi Techo and the planner enthusiast's activities as special interest rather than an 'obsession'. They unearth terrible but not surprising facts--like how racism is part of the early journaling process for colonizers.
They interview guest Helen Wang (prolific journaler/planner/sticker maker) of CoffeeMonsterzCo. Helen has so much to say about how Hobonichi planners help her stay on track while she juggles her business, full-time college schedule and her creative pursuits!
