Jimmy Carter and Leonard Lopate (Bill Swersey/WNYC)
George Carlin is notorious for making the world reconsider the 7 words you can never say on television. He shares his latest insights into the power and politics of language in his new book, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops? Then, President Jimmy Carter joins us to discuss his new novel, The Hornet's Nest. A work of historical fiction, the book is set in the deep south during the Revolutionary War. It’s the first work of fiction ever written by a US President. We’ll also get his thoughts on the Presidential race.
