Episode notes
Janet Varney and John Hodgman have arrived in the keystone state! First order of business: What on Earth is a keystone anyway?
If nothing else, it’s one of the many things that Pennsylvania uses to identify itself as. Its other symbols include (but are not limited to) Benjamin Franklin, hoagies, the liberty bell, Rocky and so much more.
And we’ve gotten tons of Pennsylvanians from far and wide to tell us why they love to call this commonwealth home.
