John Hodgman and Janet Varney are calling for freedom from the juventocracy as they visit Illinois!It’s got a motto that makes you think but a state seal that’s very confusing and unappealing. But the pair promise to be fair judges.How do you decide what food and critters are good enough to be official representations of your home? Let the children decide of course! That’s right, Illinois allowed the… admittedly middling opinions of elementary school kids to decide on a variety of state symbols.We’ll get into all of those and even discuss some of the famous nicknames for the cities of the Illinoisans.Justice for the 13 striped ground squirrel!Episode art provided by: Hannah OwensClaire O’HanlonRob BondAndroo GardnerProduced by Julian Burrell.Senior Producer at MaxFun is Laura Swisher.Find E Pluribus Motto on Instagram and TikTok.And send us a voice memo, message or photo about an upcoming state to [email protected].

ZODIAC E IL MOSTRO DI FIRENZE: LA TEORIA DELL' ACQUA Lucky Red Sono trascorsi più di vent'anni dalla sentenza che ha condannato "i compagni di merende" per i delitti del Mostro di Firenze, eppure sono tanti a credere che si tratti di un clamoroso errore. Tra loro c'è il giornalista Francesco Amicone. Lui la verità è convinto di averla trovata: dietro il “maniaco delle coppiette” si nasconderebbe uno degli assassini più ricercati degli Stati Uniti: il killer dello Zodiaco. Explicit FONTECUPA. Il mistero di Serena Mollicone Lucky Red Fontecupa. Il mistero di Serena Mollicone è un'inchiesta che ricostruisce il celebre caso di Serena Mollicone, la diciottenne di Arce (Frosinone) ritrovata cadavere in un bosco nei pressi di Fontana Liri il 1° giugno 2001, due giorni dopo la sua scomparsa. Dopo un inizio incerto, le indagini vengono affidate all'Unità Analisi Crimini Violenti, un organismo specializzato della Polizia di Stato, che individua il responsabile in un carrozziere del posto, Carmine Belli. Durante il processo però l'atto di accusa si rivela inconsistente, e il malcapitato carrozziere viene assolto. Nel frattempo nella caserma di Arce giunge un nuovo comandante, il maresciallo Evangelista, che, insospettito dal comportamento ambiguo di alcuni dei suoi sottoposti, già in forza nel 2001, riapre le indagini. Evangelista si convince che il delitto si sia consumato proprio all'interno della caserma, in cui la ragazza si sarebbe recata il giorno della sua scomparsa... Explicit F*ck Surviving, We're Thriving Malina Lopez Hello beautiful humans! I have been on my holistic healing journey since 2020 after a massive awakening thanks to a sound healing ceremony. Since then I have dedicated my free time to health and healing (when I'm not too consumed with being a mama of two). Health is something that has always been important to me, but healing myself in a holistic way has allowed me to become a version of myself I am truly proud of. I had no idea there was an option for living life outside of survival mode. As someone who has been in some state of fight, flight or freeze since I was a small child the idea of any other life seemed out of reach and down right unrealistic. I honestly thought how I was living and feeling was totally normal. Once I started to heal all parts of myself down to the cells I am made up of I realized life is so much more than people pleasing, anxiety attacks and living life in a haze. I've been exciting that survival mode and entering my era of thriving. I feel ready and so e Explicit E Squared Podcast E Squared Podcast The E Squared podcast is hosted by Ethe1st and OnlyRandz.
