Show Notes
It’s the very first episode of E Pluribus Motto!
John Hodgman and Janet Varney’s 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.
