On February 18, 2023 news broke that Jimmy Carter had been released to hospice care. Carter will be remembered as a man of faith, principle, and charity. Though once remembered as "a good man but not a great president," there is a growing consensus today that our collective memory of Carter needs to be re-collected. So join me, your host Jason Lee Guthrie, as we explore the life and legacy of America's 39th president on Recollecting Carter.

A Conversation with Russell Moore
Dr. Russell Moore is a prominent theologian, author, and the Editor-in-Chief of Christianity Today. His most recent book Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America has been well received by critics across the spectrum of faith and politics. On this episode of Recollecting Carter, I got a chance to talk with Moore about how the relationship between Evangelical Christianity and American presidential politics has changed from Carter's era to now.

A Conversation with Jonathan Alter
Journalist and Author Jonathan Alter published His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, A Life in 2020. Despite coming out a full four decades after Carter left office, it was the first independent, full-length biography of our 39th President. On this episode of Recollecting Carter, I got a chance to talk with Alter about his experience writing the book and ask why he was inspired to write it now in this historical moment.

From Playboy Bunnies to Killer Rabbits
Understanding President Carter’s fraught relationship with the press is key to understanding his Presidency. On this Episode of Recollecting Carter, I talk once more with Dr. Amber Roessner about the historical context behind two news stories that exemplify press coverage of Carter’s time in office. Understanding this history can uncover a lot about how news media help to create the uniquely American version of political theater we experience today.

A Crisis of Confidence
President Carter’s Crisis of Confidence speech is considered one of the most iconic moments of his Presidency. So how did we come to profoundly misremember it today? On this Episode of Recollecting Carter, I talk again with Dr. Amber Roessner, author of Jimmy Carter and the Birth of the Marathon Media Campaign, about Carter’s speech and why our collective memory of it is so stubbornly inaccurate.

Nice episode
If I’m being honest, I did not know much about Jimmy Carter; however this episode was very informative to me. Not only informative, but also fairly interesting. I have heard many people say that he did care about us as a president compared to our recent presidents. He recently just made it out to his wife’s funeral and many people had good things to say about him. Thanks for this episode.

Recollecting Carter
I would like to start off by saying that I love the introduction. You started off this podcast calm and very mellow. However, you transition into involving different pieces that he speaks in . This wouldn’t be the typical podcast I would listen to , but you made it very interesting and kept it engaging . Great podcast , keep it up !
