    Episode 30: North Dakota - "Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable"

    It’s the season finale of E Pluribus Motto! Janet Varney and John Hodgman close out their journey with a trip to the rough rider state, North Dakota We’ve once again stumbled onto a state with two mottos. One of them is in line with some of the others that we’ve heard on this show so far; the other is not only much better, but it was adopted in 2011. We’re also joined by author, essayist and native North Dakotan, Chuck Klosterman who tells us about some of the gems of his home state. Finally, we’ll officially list out the states that will be a part of season four… including one that is absolutely not a state.  To hear more conversations from Janet and John, become a MaxFun Member at maximumfun.org/joinmotto!

    Episode 29: Michigan- "Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice"

    If you seek a pleasant podcast, look before you! Lakes, islands and peninsulas abound in Janet Varney and John Hodgman’s trip through Michigan. That motto sure is a dandy, in latin or in english. Is it great enough to earn high marks on our grading system? We take a look. And then there’s all the islands within islands AND our wonderful Yoopers who we’re sure to give lots of time and care to. Plus, we’re joined by the delightful Marc Evan Jackson who tells us all about how Michigan has affected his life and career. You can read about one big example, “The Coney.”  To hear more conversations from Janet and John, become a MaxFun Member at maximumfun.org/joinmotto! It costs as little as $5 a month.

    Episode 24: Alabama - "Audemus jura nostra defendere"

    Roll Tide? War Eagle? Dare to hear Janet Varney and John Hodgman on their journey through Alabama! In case your latin is a little rough, the state motto of the Yellowhammer state translates to “We Dare Defend Our Rights.” And that absolutely raises some eyebrows. But you’ll learn why there’s a bit more to it than the loaded history of the South would suggest. John will tell us more about the multitude of state symbols, including our first state cake and official state mascot! And then, be prepared for what may be the best collection of cryptids yet.

    Episode 23: New Hampshire - “Live Free Or Die”

    Our regularly scheduled season three journey has resumed. Janet Varney and John Hodgman are ready to visit the granite state of New Hampshire! First of all, how about that motto? It’s certainly tough as granite! And it’s one those from the state take a lot of pride in. But how does it compare to some of the other great ones that have been discussed on this show? Plus, there’s an abundance of symbols to look at, including the dangerous romance of the state spider. They’ll explain. Then, Janet talks to not one, but TWO figures in New Hampshire: One retired teacher whose class helped establish the state beverage… and one state representative who aims to establish more symbols soon.  To hear more conversations from Janet and John, become a MaxFun Member at maximumfun.org/joinmotto!
