Movie Talk: Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President

R.I.P. Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States who was also one of history's greatest humanitarians. To pay tribute to this great man, I invited three Carter historians and biographers (Randall Balmer, Michael Brown and Mark Lempke) to talk about Mary Wharton and Bill Flanagan's 2020 documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President. Featured in the film include music legends such as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Bono, Jimmy Buffett and Gregg Allman. 

Consider purchasing these works from our guests:
Randall Balmer's biography Redeemer: The Life of Jimmy Carter and Michael Brown and Mark Lempke's contributions to the anthology The Literary Legacy of Jimmy Carter: Essays on the President's Books.
