Episode notes
Oi! Hi, Oh! Janet Varney and John Hodgman are off to the Buckeye State.
There’s a lot to say about that motto. Compared to all of the others that have been covered so far, this one is a relatively new one– it was just made official in the 50s. You’ll learn the story about the boy behind its establishment. Plus a TON of listener emails that we’re always so thrilled to read.
