Episode 23: New Hampshire – “Live Free Or Die”

Episode notes

Our regularly scheduled season three journey has resumed. Janet Varney and John Hodgman are ready to visit the granite state of New Hampshire!

First of all, how about that motto? It’s certainly tough as granite! And it’s one those from the state take a lot of pride in. But how does it compare to some of the other great ones that have been discussed on this show?

Plus, there’s an abundance of symbols to look at, including the dangerous romance of the state spider. They’ll explain.

Then, Janet talks to not one, but TWO figures in New Hampshire: One retired teacher whose class helped establish the state beverage… and one state representative who aims to establish more symbols soon.
