On part 2 of this week's episode, we interview Artist, Jenny Kroik. Jenny talks with us about her career as an illustrator and being featured in many national publications (including the New Yorker, of course)! We have a great discussion about art and what it means to be an artist. 

You can learn more about Jenny at her Website (and ask her about doing a private commission for you!)

Jenny is also hosting an Artist's retreat in Italy this September. If you're interested, you can learn more about it here:

(The webpage says May, but the trip has been moved to September and the actual dates will be updated soon!)


On Part 1 of the episode, we discuss the current contests and take a deep dive in to how we think the humor of the finalist captions have changed recently.

Winning captions for New Yorker contest #887 (Past performance is no guarantee of future wishes). 

Finalists for contest #889 (The Salmon of Doubt). 

Current New Yorker contest #891 (On the job Spring Training).
