Episode 17: Iowa- “Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain.”
from E Pluribus Motto · host Maximum Fun
Janet Varney and John Hodgman are on to the Hawkeye State! And while there are some very respectable hawkeyes to take sight of, our hosts will also talk about some vaguely disturbing Hawkeyes as well (sorry Herky!).And we’ve got to stay on brand and talk about that motto as well– it’s quite a mouthful. But Iowa proudly showcases it on its seal and its official state flag.We even got John Darnielle from the Mountain Goats to give the motto a good read– and tell us which of his songs most represents Iowa.
