New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast

Episode 233 - 2025 Year in Review

Vin Coca, Beth Lawler, Paul Nesja, Nicole Chrolavicius Season 5 Episode 233

On this week's episode, Vin, Paul, Beth and Nicole review past and present contests from 2025 and choose our best and worst of the year.  We also talk a bit about the CartoonStock contest and our favorite regular cartoons from the issue for the year.
We talk a bit about Keith Huie's caption for the Finalists of contest #972. Keith is a terrific artist living in Wisconsin (just a couple of towns over from Paul) and you should check out his art here:
