Jimmy Carter – When a good man went to Washington

Jimmy Carter, who has died aged 100, suffered derision in his one-term presidency, becoming a scapegoat for recession, the Iran hostage crisis and America’s diminution in the world. But his reputation as a humanitarian only grew after he left office. What is the true meaning of Jimmy Carter’s life? Andrew Harrison talks to writer and filmmaker Jonathan Alter – author of His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life – about the 39th President and his legacy. • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
