A podcast on the history (and future) of calligraphy, penmanship, hand writing, lettering and much more. Hosted by me, Laura Edralin!
I am on a journey to fill the gaps in my knowledge as a calligrapher, having light-hearted conversations with historians, artists, and stationery experts to discover the stories behind the pen and beneath the ink.
This is for people who love the scratch of a nib on paper, who collect notebooks they’re too afraid to use, and who wonder what our writing says about us—past, present, and future.
So, whether you're a calligraphy enthusiast, a history lover, or just curious about the stories behind the letters we write, join me for The Life of Letters.
I’m not in this alone! This new podcast is produced by fellow calligraphy lover, Heidi Cullip.

Hunter shares his journey into the world of calligraphy, exploring themes of identity, mortality, and the cultural influences that shape his work. He discusses the intricate process of creating calligraphic art, the significance of ornamentation, and the challenges he faces as a black male artist in a niche field. The conversation also delves into the collaborative nature of his work with partner and tattoo artist, Megan Wilson, the role of color in his art, and his future projects and exhibitions.
