  1. I just listened to your podcast on Jimmy Carter, especially due to the recent news about his end-of-life hospice care ,and I must tell you, I was absolutely moved to tears about your emotional story of having met Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter at theirchurch . It’s very clear that you admire him greatly, as do I.What a magical experience and gift that was for you, being able to meet him ,and what a gift Jimmy Carter is to all of us ! I Joe, love every one of your Presidential podcasts,as well as the pictures you provide, and refer to them often when planning my own trips to Presidential sites. Thank you for the wonderful job you do in providing us Presidential history buffs with such excellent research and material ! Please keep up the great work – it is much appreciated !!!

I recorded his first episode on his birthday and remember begin emotional recounting seeing him, a man who I’ve looked up to my entire life, and it is such a sad twist of fate that I’m preparing to record as he is preparing to leave this world. I appreciate your support and am glad you enjoy the podcast and website! Thanks so much!
