Randall Balmer

Former President Jimmy Carter recently celebrated his 100th birthday, the first former president to reach that milestone. While still controversial as a president, he is generally regarded as the most active and productive post-president in recent history, also the most religious. This week, Grant Reeher talks with Randall Balmer, a professor of religion at Dartmouth College, and a Carter biographer. He's the author of Redeemer: The Life of Jimmy Carter.

Grant Reeher is a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
