When Slate Culture Gabfest host Stephen Metcalf declined to post a photo to the podcast's Facebook page, a listener suggested that we get podcast fans to submit their best guesses as to what Steve looks like. And so the "Sketch Steve" contest was born. We received 35 fantastic entries and asked listeners to vote on them last week. Click here to view a slide show of the 14 finalists, including our winner.
