1A - 100 Years Of President Jimmy Carter
President Jimmy Carter turns 100 on Oct. 1. To mark the occasion, 1A is talking all about the legacy of a president whose time as office is sometimes called "underrated."
Carter brokered huge deals in trade and tried securing peace in the Middle East. But his handling of the Iran hostage crisis and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan overshadowed much of the success the earlier part of his sole term in the White House.
We discuss how Jimmy Carter's presidency should be remembered, nearly 50 years later.

World Book Club - Elif Batuman
In this month’s edition of BBC World Book Club bestselling American writer Elif Batuman discusses her acclaimed debut novel. ‘The Idiot’ follows Selin, a Turkish-American fresher at Harvard in the mid-1990s, delving into her experiences as she navigates the challenges of university life, grappling with identity, language, and the complexities of relationships, romantic and otherwise. Selin becomes infatuated with Ivan, an older Hungarian mathematics student, and their relationship unfolds primarily through a series of cryptic emails, highlighting the difficulties of virtual communication across cultures. As Selin travels to Europe for a summer teaching job, she continues to struggle with her sense of self, her obsession with Ivan, and the meaning of her experiences. The novel captures the disorienting, often absurd nature of early adulthood, where intellectual exploration meets the messiness of real life and its chaotic emotions. Infused with dry humour and philosophical musings, The Idiot is at heart a playful meditation on the limitation of language, and the gap between theoretical knowledge and lived experience.
The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Joe, Take the Win!

Why should Jimmy Carter be celebrated for being 100 when his record as president was terrible and his behavior toward Israel appalling? Why isn't Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame? Give a listen.
