In this special edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy take you to Plains, Georgia, where an entire town prepares to say goodbye to a beloved friend, neighbor, and former U.S. President.

Meet the people of this small southwest Georgia town who have grown up with and lived life with the Carter family, whose lives have been touched by the town's most famous couple they call Mr. Jimmy and Mrs. Rosalynn.

Our insiders will take you to the former President's boyhood farm, the high school Mr. and Mrs. Carter attended, and downtown Plains to hear stories that will make you laugh, cry, and be truly inspired.

Have a question for Greg and Patricia? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at (770)810-5297. We’ll play back your question and answer it during the Listener Mailbag segment on next Friday’s episode.
