E Pluribus Motto
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!

An absolute delight
Nov 7
I did not know that I needed this podcast, and thought I’d give it a listen just to indulge the silly premise. But it’s become an instant favorite of mine and I can’t wait to continue the journey through the states, commonwealths, and territories! A self-aware and endearing gem. John and Janet’s friendly chemistry is so fun and makes you feel like you are just hanging out with friends, while learning some interesting history along the way. It’s appropriately critical of the typical narratives of American history and “greatness,” while still being a positive and chill hang.
Not every episode needs to mention Boston

I am mostly enjoying the show - however - John rarely lets Janet finish a sentence. It would be nice if her let her speak without constantly interrupting. Also, the joke of constantly bringing things back to Boston and/or Massachusetts is tiresome. I get that it's a running gag on JJHO, but it's irksome when John stops Janet mid-sentence to bring up something about New England that's only tangentially relared to what she was saying about another state (or Commonwealth).

This podcast is so soothing and amusing. Considering it is one week before the 2024 presidential election (at time of writing), this podcast is a godsend. Just shut out the worry and try to guess state birds. Love it.
A new gem!

This is such a fun, cozy, lovely show. An instant favorite. You learn a little, laugh a lot, and get to spend time with two good friends.
