I don’t think they have. I’ve listened to almost every episode and there hasn’t been a pen spotlight on it yet, probably because they’re no longer made. It’s a metal pen. Very basic design. Pretty hefty, very wet #5 (I think) nib. You’re not really missing out.
That’s a far better name. For a name like Loom I’d expect some filigree, some carbon weaving. But the FC Doom is a solid bang around pen. I treat it the way I treat my (single) Safari. They had a sale (8$ a pen that comes with a converter and a cartridge) and I may have gone overboard. Got the rollerball in gunmetal for every instance I can’t use a good pen and the others I give to people I don’t know what to give.
I’m glad that your pen has a great home. On the bright side — regarding refilling every other second — you get to play with converters and inks, which is the best part. Very interesting that slim pens caught your eye; for me, one of the best slim pens out there is the Muji aluminum fountain pen, but alas it makes my hand cramp.
Do Faber Castell pens count? I adore my Loom but nobody ever talks about it.
I would say it could count. Not sure if they mentioned it in the Goulet Pencast but if so, it wasn’t recent. And I’ve also never used one!

So… it’s not Loom but Doom?
