Kate Isenberg Joins us on the podcast this week.
Kate is a New Yorker cartoonist, illustrator, animator and musician, but mostly she is a story teller. Along with the New Yorker, Kate's cartoons have appeared in The New Republic, Alta Journal, Air Mail, and Narrative. 
We talk with Kate about her background and journey to becoming a New Yorker cartoonist and her cartoons that have been in the New Yorker and CartoonStock caption contests. We also talk a bit about the value of being a creative person.
