In 1976, Jimmy Carter faced intense media scrutiny as a devout Southern Baptist presidential candidate, which escalated when he candidly discussed sex and sin in Playboy magazine. Decades later, as Carter received hospice care at his south-Georgia home, his interviewer, Robert Scheer, reflected on how Carter's sincerity was overshadowed by the pressures of a contentious campaign. Duke University Political Science Professor Mac McCorkle joined Jeff Hamlin to explore Carter’s political legacy and the lasting impact of his candid approach to faith and leadership.
