It’s season 3 of E Pluribus Motto!

Janet Varney and John Hodgman are back with a brand new collection of states and their mottos, iconography, animals, and so much more.

Our first state of this season… isn’t a state at all! It’s the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, birthplace of legends like Rita Moreno, Ricky Martin and Bad Bunny, whose INCREDIBLE Superbowl performance showcased the island’s rich culture.

Puerto Rico is also home to adorable frogs, delicious cuisine and one of the most iconic cryptids of all time: The Chupacabra.

Season three is starting off with a bang. Sorry, season three is starting off with una explosión.

Produced by Julian Burrell.

Senior Producer at MaxFun is Laura Swisher.
