JJHO Presents: E Pluribus Motto!

JJHO Presents: E Pluribus Motto!

John Hodgman has a new podcast with Janet Varney! Every episode they’ll showcase a new state and explore its iconography– especially its often complicated, pretentious and Latin motto.

Their first stop on their tour of every state, commonwealth and territory in the United States is Connecticut. Why Connecticut first? They’ll explain.

Hear more about its legendary rich, sandy loam, the grape-filled seal, and its many attempts to create a state motto that sticks.

Plus, Janet speaks with Amy Holden Jones, creator of the film Mystic Pizza. Amy will tell us about how her movie was directly inspired by Connecticut… and give her own suggestions for a new state motto.

Produced by Julian Burrell.

Senior Producer at MaxFun is Laura Swisher.
