A short podcast this week with just the original podcast recipe of Vin, Beth and Paul talking about the contests and their favorite cartoons from the current week's issue of the New Yorker (we'll get back into regular guests again next week).
Vin lets the cat out of the bag with the podcast doing a roadtrip to Toronto. We'll be meeting up in Nicole's hometown at the end of May to celebrate doing the podcast for 5 years (yeah, I can't believe we've been doing this for five years). We're not sure if we'll get a podcast out of it (the last time we got together to do an in-person podcast, it didn't go so well). We'll see what happens.

We discuss the winning entry for Contest #979 (Hindenbuick.)

Finalists for Contest #981 (Cat mon dieu.)

Current Contest #983 (Poppy issues.)
