Dapper Notes

I am joined by Marcie Alvis-Walker, an educator and writer who runs Black Coffee with White Friends, alongside Mockingbird History Lessons for Adults, and the Cream & Sugar book club.

We discuss the importance of choosing to dedicate time towards doing good, making sure that we vote for leaders who aren't cowards, and Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler whose work is pertinent now more than ever.

Today's episode is the very first time I have a conversation with the artist who collaborated with me on an edition. We have Kim Charlery of Bandbox who loves to live colourfully and inspires us with a fresh perspective, an infectious laugh, and lots of Soca music vibes.

This is Dapper Notes' first-ever dialogue episode. I brought on Stuart Lennon of the 1857 Podcast and Nero's Notes fame to help me talk through what's happened to Dapper Notes and how I could possibly get back up and running again.

Lots of personal life updates, but more importantly: there's a new branding for Dapper Notes and a brand new website!

MASSIVE new collaboration, and lots of news.

It's Black Friday / Analog Monday at Dapper Notes, and along with it comes the brand new, fuzzy, adorable, soft: Monster Ami edition.

Available for pre-order 11/28/19 at noon through 12/3/12 at midnight

I've been a little busy recently, and talk all about what's been going on. We have a lot of catch up to do, but I'm finally well rested after this short season of intensity, and getting back to all things Dapper Notes.

In this episode:

Surprise! It's a special last-minute collaboration with @goodtype to celebrate their hitting the one million mark.

Join this week's prompt by lettering the words "Live Dapper".
To live dapper is not only about externalities, but taking care to surround ourselves with great people, to be good to one another, and strive to be our kindest selves. "Live Dapper" is a small token of a reminder to that end: are we making ourselves and those around us feel dapper today?

In this first regular episode I dig into the history of Dapper Notes: starting with Flatirony, a break, then Hebrew Type Books, and the week I launched it all with four (or eight!) editions.

I'm finally making a Dapper Notes podcast, sharing the behind-the-scenes of making each edition, and going back in time starting from the very first Dapper Notes. In this episode I talk about why I'm making a podcast, and share my plan for all future episodes.
