    We must listen
    Hard truths can be hard to listen to, but we must listen and educate ourselves for the sake of those worse off than ourselves, because our nation voted in this President! We are responsible!

    Queing RM Show For Playback
    The Rachel Maddow Show (RMs) reminds me that good ethical people are still among us. Is anyone else listening realizing that Apple Podcast is skipping over the RMs? I just watched it ignore her podcast and jump to the next podcast in the que?This has been happening for a couple of weeks now. What in the world is going on?
  • Go with the Flo travel
    Thanks for your voice
    Thank you for letting the voices of Americans tell their stories. Highlighting the regular people standing up to the chaos is inspiring more people than you even know to get out there and fight!!!

  • debllstl
    I love Rachel Maddow!!
    Rachel tells a story like no one else. Her extensive research and her humor make her presentations of serious disturbing news fascinating and enjoyable. I totally trust Rachel’s honest reporting and I love her style. She’s always interesting, straight forward, and entertaining.
  • dbw-13
    Is Rachel Maddow An Israeli asset????
    Why doesn’t Rachel report on the horrors that Israel has committed in Gaza? She has not even uttered the words! She doesn’t want to report the truth! Shame on her. You can’t declare to be pro democracy and pick and choose your horrors. SHAME ON RACHEL MADDOW!!! Her voice was greatly appreciated during this time.
  • gfcsp
    A beacon of hope
    Thanks for delivering a realistic picture of current events and still keeping us motivated and hopeful.

  • Ptburnham
    Please Read
    We need to stop blaming Trump and Musk and put the responsibility on the Republican enablers. They are the ones we need to get out of Congress then impeach Trump.
  • Long time Booknotes Lover
    Thank gawd for Rachel Maddow
    Seriously! I’m not sure I’d be as centered, calm, and yes, hydrated, if not for Rachel Maddow. So sharp, quick, insightful — you are the best Rachel. Thank you for speaking truth to power and for being unafraid. You are my inspiration!!
  • Amar008
    He knows what he’s doing
    Dear Rachel He knows what he’s doing and that is doing exactly what he’s being told, by someone else who hates us. You’re the voice in the wilderness, please, stay safe because those people are evil. Keep up the good work. We all need you. Good news reporting is becoming rare in this day and age. You’re still the best.
  • rosallea
    Outstanding
    Thank you, thank you for distilling the chaos and reaching for evidence and for truth. And with a positive twist while encouraging us all to show up, speak up, to change this dangerous course. How can these “leaders” not know that effective change is best little by little with informed planning. And also with honesty and discussion generating ideas and solutions. I’ve not heard Trump say why he wants to abolish the Dept of Education and how that would help anyone but his cartel. I imagine the worst of motives.
  • pinacoloda
    Thank you!
    Rachel’s helping to keep my sanity!! Informative, efficient, and spot on!
  • JeReynAZ
    Obstruct MAGA
    I think using the word Resist is far too weak and passive in dealing with MAGA’s clear aim to turn this country into a Russian satellite. Democrats must obstruct their plans at every turn. Do not vote for any of their agenda items . Fight! Protest! We can Flood the zone with obstruction, make calls, show up, sign petitions and donate whatever possible.

  • Groovystig
    Love All The Research
    In the age of misinformation, you are a voice of facts and reason. The research and going back to historical examples is so refreshing. I'm so impressed with your knowledge and ability to deliver information in a straightforward and substantiated way. It is desperately needed right now. And gives me hope that rational and informed minds will prevail. Thank you.
  • Valued Pod Listener
    I learn so much
    Rachel will go down in history as one of the most compelling and important voices of our time. I admire her beautiful brain, and her love of history is contagious. So glad to have her back on nightly again as we make sense of these very dark times under authoritarian rule. I hope she decides to stay on longer than April while we still have some freedom of speech and the free press. Keep up the great work, Rachel!
  • billjdoo
    Love her voice of reason!
    This podcast is my favorite political podcast. The host is so knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Love her humor and the way her delivery is calm and collected even when the news are very serious and alarming. Thank you!

    Rachel is a GOAT!
    Greatest of all time! Love how she pulls a moment in history and correlates it to a current event. History does repeat, and we can all learn from history. Rachel is a national treasure!
  • skilleto
    Rachel Maddow deserves a Pulitzer Prize
    Her narratives are not polemics They are fact-and based, well-vetted and provide information overlooked in world of the sound bite media
  • Dan22##
    Thank you
    Thank you
  • Freshcoastwave
    Actual news and information, thank you!
    Rachel is a national treasure. Protect her at all costs.
  • Pinky in St Louis
    You’re INDISPENSABLE!
    Tonight’s program raised hopes that our Constitution cannot be shut down by Agent Orange’s destructive tendencies. Also it once and for all has made Dems see that Sen Schumer is not fit to lead. It’s been a long time coming
  • Savvy WildChild
    Rachel Maddow is cringe
    I remember when Rachel Maddow was gaslighting the whole country into taking the covid shot. She said if you take the shot, you can’t get covid and it stops with you. Such lies that was! Shame on you Rachel for demonizing anyone who questioned whether this new mRNA technology was safe when it had no long term studies. I personally know several people who are now vaccine injured from that “safe and effective” shot whose lives will never be the same. Rachel Maddow is not a journalist, she’s only a propaganda mouthpiece without a moral compass.
  • Jesus F. Christo
    The Best
    Love her, love her show. I appreciate Maddow’s thorough research on all topics. She’s so concise and knowledgeable. I also love how she’s genuinely appreciative of guests and their time spent with her and she always expresses this to them.

    Soul Food!
    Rachel’s research, voice, focus and ability to bring attention to the most critical topics threatening our democracy is essential. Food for my soul, my survival to navigate these destructive times!

  • AmJo1237654
    Really bad sound on podcast
    I would love to listen to this, but the sound on the most recent episode is horrible. Please get someone to help you.
  • ComeOnnn
    Excellent show!
    Huge props to Dr. Maddow and her team for working hard to increase the amount of useful information in the world.
  • sammileigh20
    Love!!
    She’s the best!
  • 11dalya
    Amazing Research
    I always learn so much from Rachel. Huge amounts of money to transport refugees to Guantanamo, with no criminal acts. Chopping agencies willy nilly. She's right on top of VA firing, Medicare elimination, failing to pay for sterilization of medical equipment. Horrifying cuts with no rational basis. OMG. Thank you Rachel and MSNBC for reporting the truth.
  • Happy216
    Brilliant
    She will break news down in a way that is factual and immediately I can connect the dots and it makes complete sense. Rachel you are needed!

  • Aroel2
    Time is Ticking
    Thank you Rachel for this feed. I’m sick of the Democratic Party asking everyone what do we do and the Republicans are living in some altered universe. “Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes. The minutes, as we will see, mattered.”

    Why
    Russia Rachel yeah we all belive because of your “perfect track record”
  • GCHPetportraits
    Love it!
    I love Rachel anyway, but I love these historical accounts of what has happened and how it was handled.
  • surfer843
    Ignore the Haters
    You did the right thing in speaking up about management decisions to fire and demote hosts of color. Joy Reid said on her last show that you fought for everyone. Considering that Joy expressed respect and gratitude for what you’ve done, Keith Olbermann and his hostile and unprofessional attacks on you are ignorable. He is a bitter and jealous has been. Your voice is needed and resigning is the last thing you should do no matter what Olbermann thinks. Keep using your important voice to speak truth to the power.
  • DGBabbage
    Thank you
    I’m so glad to have this podcast. So informational.
