Episode notes

John Hodgman and Janet Varney are ready for an episode as sweet as a peach: Georgia!

Up until now we’ve dealt exclusively with official mottos. But Georgia just had to buck tradition with an UNofficial motto.

Thankfully we’ve still got a lot of symbols that did make the cut. From frogs, dogs, whales and fruit.

About the show

Listening to E Pluribus Motto is like taking a road trip with friends Janet Varney and John Hodgman. In each episode, they spotlight one state and chat about its motto, bird, beverages, songs, and–occasionally–muffins. Plus, you’ll hear from residents and guests whose lives or work have been inspired by that state. This podcast is a celebration of regional culture and an homage to the love we all seem to have for the place we call home. Pack your snacks and jump on in!
