Hello, and welcome to a SECRET SOCIETY. Today in the secret room I will read to you about Nantucket and various kinds of CHOWDERS, but first:
Some NEXT WEEK NEWS!
Some time ago, the EBULLIENT and WONDERFUL JANET VARNEY invited me (the MOROSE and EEYORE-ISH HODGMAN) to collaborate with her on a podcast about STATE MOTTOS.
And just like you, I just can’t say to to L’il JV! So I said yes, and the result is E PLURIBUS MOTTO, a guide to the often dumb and/or dull and/or horrific (but sometimes inspiring) Latin words on every state/commonwealth flag in the USA.
PLUS: information on state birds, snacks, songs, mammals, and beverages (milk, mostly!), plus all kinds of regional trivia and reminiscences. But mostly it’s just me and Janet making each other laugh, and it all starts
It’s been so much fun to record these, and I hope you will join us on this ROAD TRIP FOR YOUR EARS by clicking HERE and doing it NOW.
Speaking of road trips, I need not remind you that JUDGE JOHN HODGMAN IS GOING TO NEW ENGLAND
But I am going to remind you anyway.
Tickets are HERE, including our shows in Vermont, Maine, and Turner’s Falls, MA (with MONTE!)
And as always, you can submit your petty disputes for adjudication on stage, on pod, or in the pages of the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE simply by clicking:
HOW TO HAVE YOUR DAY IN COURT!
OK, now let us ascend the stairs to the SECRET ROOM so that I may speak to you privately about chowder and hang gliding and etc…
