Reset Listens Back To Jimmy Carter On WBEZ

Jimmy Carter, America’s 39th president, died a little more than a week ago at the age of 100. Today, Carter lies in state at the U.S. Capitol. Back in 1988, Carter stopped by WBEZ to promote his latest book “An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections.” In the wide-ranging interview that’s more than 36 years old, Carter shares his concerns about issues that are still relevant today: presidential transitions of power, bipartisanship and even climate change and clean energy. In this episode, we share excerpts from that 1988 interview with then-host Ken Davis. You can also hear the full interview here: Jimmy Carter warned of rising temperatures back in 1988 on WBEZ.
