The 2nd episode in the Semi-Forgotten Presidents Series is here! This episode covers the Presidency and life of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States. Listeners will hear parts of how President Carter lived his life as a child, what he did before and after his Presidency, and other important acts he accomplished in his Presidency presidency outside of the Camp David Peace Accords.

NOTE TO LISTENERS: Two facts need to be corrected. President Carter was President from 1977 to 1981 NOT 1977-1980. Also, I did find information on Rachel Clark. I will use info for future episode about President Carter. Thank you.
