Sharpen It and Forget It

from The Tinker Tank · host Jacob Slivka

John Lee Love’s humble pencil‑sharpening genius collides with Ron Popeil’s over‑the‑top infomercial magic in this delightfully pointy episode. From the quiet crank that kept classrooms on track to the loud pitches that convinced America to “set it and forget it,” we dig into how both men sharpened everyday life—one turn, one gadget, and one dramatic demo at a time.
