Rediscovering Jimmy Carter, with Jonathan Alter

Jimmy Carter has lived a remarkable life. He was on his way to becoming a Navy admiral, but instead became a peanut farmer. He had one of the unlikeliest rises to the presidency, but saw his popularity plummet and was voted out of office in a landslide. He then had one of the most active retirements in American presidential history. In this episode, we interview Jonathan Alter about the surprising life story of America's longest-lived chief executive.HIS VERY BEST: JIMMY CARTER, A LIFEhttps://www.amazon.com/His-Very-Best-Jimmy-Carter/dp/1501125540/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3UISQT2YFTAB8JOIN PREMIUMListen ad-free for only $5/month at www.bit.ly/TAPpremiumFOLLOW USwww.linktr.ee/thisamericanpresidentCREDITSHost: Richard LimProducer: Michael NealArtist: Nip Rogers, www.NipRogers.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
