Hi everyone it's your Judge Chan Hodgman sneaking into your feed with a special

surprise called E Pluribus motto. It's a brand new maximum fun podcast that I've

been recording in secret with your friend the wonderful Janet Varnie of the JV club.

In it, Janet and I goes state to state, Commonwealth to Commonwealth District of Columbia,

to District of Columbia, talking about all of the United States

and state mottos starting this time with Connecticut whose motto is

quay trans-stool it to sustain it what does it mean you're about to find out and if the Latin motto of Connecticut sounds boring to you, well you're wrong.

Because the stories behind this and every motto, plus every state bird, beverage,

slogan, song, and muffin, are wild, wonderful,

fascinating, and sometimes even personal. I'm so happy to share this with you and I hope you'll

join us for the whole audio road trip from coast to coast,

just go to wherever you get your podcasts and search for E Pluribus Mato,

which is the name of the podcast. E. Pluribus Mato, follow, subscribe, listen, but now settle into the backseat as your

mom and dad, Janet and John, drive the family car to our first stop, the Nutmeg State

itself, Connecticut, home of the first

hamburger, arguably, and the first submarine, definitely, and the seat of the

secret world government. Yale, in this first episode of E, Pluribus Motto.

I'm Janet Barneyney and I'm John Hodgman. Welcome to E Pluribus

motto, the show dedicated to celebrating the official mottos, birds, snacks and

symbols of every state in the Union, no matter how strange or boring.

Janet, this is our first episode and we begin our journey across this country of ours in Connecticut.

Learn all about the state's grape-filled seal.
