E Pluribus Motto

It’s season 3 of E Pluribus Motto!

Janet Varney and John Hodgman are back with a brand new collection of states and their mottos, iconography, animals, and so much more.

Our first state of this season… isn’t a state at all! It’s the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, birthplace of legends like Rita Moreno, Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny, whose INCREDIBLE Superbowl performance showcased the island’s rich culture.

Puerto Rico is also home to adorable frogs, delicious cuisine and one of the most iconic cryptids of all time: The Chupacabra.

Season three is starting off with a bang. Sorry, season three is starting off with una explosión. 

Produced by Julian Burrell.

Senior Producer at MaxFun is Laura Swisher.

Can't wait for Season 3 of E Pluribus Motto? Neither can we!
And the first stop of the next season of the show will be Janet and John recording a LIVE episode of the show at SF Sketchfest.
They'll be giving the spotlight to the state of California, talking all about mottos, symbols, cryptids and more. And they'll be joined by Adam Savage, of "Mythbusters" fame!
Tickets are available now. We hope we'll see you there.

Janet Varney and John Hodgman are ready for the season finale of the podcast! And where better to visit than a state full of slot machines, deserts, ghost towns and cryptids (possibly): Nevada!
There’s so much to get into here, including Janet doing her best to get through the pronunciation of said state and John recounting a heroic tale that involves a slot machine that Peter Dinklage graced with his voice.
All of this and so much more including the last cryptid of the season (awwwwwww). It’s time for the Silver State to receive the spotlight!

Janet Varney and John Hodgman celebrate the first non-state and non-commonwealth  in the brief history of the podcast: The capital of the United States, Washington D.C.
And if there’s one problem with the perception of D.C., it’s a failure to understand that it’s a real city with a lot of cool people who call it home. We try to push beyond the monuments and motorcade and make sure to highlight that.
Plus we give a shoutout to everything from D.C.’s role in the straight-edge punk movement, the cryptids that (supposedly) roam its streets, and just what it means to be a mason. Plus, this place has a really cute official bird.
