SERIES 3: NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY 〰️
The Life of Letters Podcast
Join me on my journey
A podcast on the history (and future) of calligraphy, penmanship, type design, 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.
What are the forgotten letters? Who were the pioneers of the pen? How can we connect the dots between tradition and modern creativity?
I’m not in this alone! This new podcast is produced by fellow calligraphy lover, Heidi Cullip.

Support the Podcast
If you can, support our mission by buying us a coffee!
This is a real labour of love. It is of course for my own curiosity that I embarked on this journey, but along the way the idea to share these conversations far and wide became an absolute MUST DO.
It’s just my producer, Heidi and I working voluntarily, behind the scenes, inviting guests, writing scripts, recording all the juiciness, editing, uploading and distributing it to bring it to your ears. We really hope you’ve loved the conversations too!
There are a couple of ads (which eventually will give us a few pennies), but if you are interested and able to help us stay caffeinated and enable us to bring more episodes to you, we would welcome any donations.
