Larry Wood joins us this week to talk about the contests and cartoons from the current issue of the New Yorker.
Some great discussions with Larry as always! We all agreed on many of the caption picks, but there were also some disagreements as well. Larry mentions a story about hitchhiking from the radio show/podcast, The Moth. You can find it here:

This week's podcast is a special tribute to New Yorker Cartoonist, P.C. Vey.
Peter passed away on September 17th. He was a terrific cartoonist with a wonderfully bent sense of humor. We invited cartoonists Michael Maslin, Drew Dernavich and Shannon Wheeler to talk about Peter and his cartoons. We have some insightful discussions about his work and we couldn't help laughing as we talked about his cartoons. It wouldn't be a tribute to someone who created so many funny cartoons if there wasn't a lot of laughter.

You can find P.C. Vey's cartoons here:
