Episode Description

It’s the season finale of E Pluribus Motto! Janet Varney and John Hodgman close out their journey with a trip to the rough rider state, North Dakota

We’ve once again stumbled onto a state with two mottos. One of them is in line with some of the others that we’ve heard on this show so far; the other is not only much better, but it was adopted in 2011.

We’re also joined by author, essayist and native North Dakotan, Chuck Klosterman who tells us about some of the gems of his home state.

Finally, we’ll officially list out the states that will be a part of season four… including one that is absolutely not a state.
