    She Outdid Herself 17 April 2025
    Her opening segments are always great, but her telling the story (the night of 17 April) of The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere went above and beyond. This podcast keeps me sane. Rachel is a National Treasure.

    Rachel Maddow
    Best podcaster ever! She should stay on for another 100 days for the sanity of this country.

    Thank you for reporting on the mood of the American people.

    Amazing show on so many levels!

    Want to hear the truth?
    We feel confident listening to Rachel. The research she and her staff do is impressive. We believe MSNBC.
  • No MAGA!
    Stay full-time
    I really hope Rachel decides to stay on full-time after the first 100 days. They have gone so badly we’re going to need her the rest of the time. Trump is president.

    First thing we do
    Is get the American media to say department of government efficiency when no such department exists. DOGE is a bitcoin. USDSTO is service temporary organization.
  • Blurising
    Thank you for covering the protests
    Not enough coverage on national TV media and people need to be encouraged to stand up to fascism now
  • myapled
    Stay on for all 4 yrs!

    Protests
    Thank you for sharing so many of the protests around our country. Our “red” town held a Hands Off event last week. I was thrilled with the turnout. It gave me hope for a better future with what years I have left. The felon has destroyed way too many of them. Thanks for all you do.

    Amazing Research
    I always learn so much from Rachel. I love her right 15 minute introduction into the topic(s) of the day. Her exposé on Navarro was so detailed and quite horrifying, thanks to Jared Kushner for foisting him on us. Thank you Rachel and MSNBC for reporting the truth.
  • jerevieeeeas
    Empathy .. clear eyed reporting.. please stay past 100 days
    Thank you for covering the protests!!! Rachel is a breath of fresh air. She’s not afraid to speak truth to power.
  • Katazoo
    Spotlight on Resistance
    Rachel’s deep dives are always fascinating and well-researched, but what I think is even more valuable is that she shows many stories of people at protests, people standing up for what’s right, people standing up for each other and winning. These stories - often ignored by other news outlets - are vital to keeping us energized and in the fight against dictatorship.
  • DJabcdefg
    The signs have it!
    Thank you for sharing your sense of humor wrt the protest signs! You are awesome!
  • takennicknames99
    Do better
    We don’t need a recap of protest. Get on with what else is happening. MSNBC has enough duds. Don’t be another one.
  • Tonib517
    Honest
    I depend on Rachel to explain things on a clear and concise way. Keep up the great work
  • IoB.
    Boycott LIV golfers.
    The American pro golfers playing in this tournament should be boycotted. Their products and any shows that they may appear on. They are shameless in their greed and in their relationships with this tournament. In my humble opinion.
  • Reader who is listening
    Keep it up
    Your insightful reporting and sense of humor makes it just a little easier to process all of this chaos. Thank you for your commitment.
  • Megeconley
    Most informative podcast
    You’re a legend Rachel, you enlighten the public with pearls of wisdom, thank you.

    Edit for 2025 follows.
    I just wanted to say thank you Rachel for being such a treasure in this day and age of news media. You always do an excellent job on reporting and keeping us informed. You are one of my favorite podcasts because you get the story and never disappoint. Your integrity is much appreciated and respected! I love your lead by example reporting style! Keep it up. Maybe the rest of our country will one day catch up to your level of efficient and intelligent real time responses. Keep safe and keep up the good work! You are a hero! I wanted to add after listening to the podcast religiously these past few weeks, I finally broke down today and cried. The issues in our country’s nursing homes and the prison system broke my heart. Just hearing the inmates, begging for health care and basic protections from COVID19 was almost too much. I am sure our elders in nursing homes would be doing the exact same thing(if they were physically capable of protest) you have shown us what is really going on behind the locked bars of prisons and the locked doors of nursing homes! If anyone is ignoring these situations, they should be ashamed of themselves! Our most vulnerable populations are in grave danger, and the word must be spread. Thank you 🙏 2025 Edit… As always so grateful that you are back again for the first 100 Days, we are a nation in serious crisis. Your ethical reporting and actual journalism is still top notch, I recommend this podcast to anyone and everyone. This is a time to be united, Rachel thank you for getting this message out. With sincere gratitude, thank you for what you do for all of us. We stand united! If I could I would give you 100 stars. Take care! Be strong, join together in grateful solidarity.

    Smart and Insightful
    You know someone is hitting the mark when they are demonized so often from our friends on the right. Rachel is smart as a whip and has a way of shining a bright light on what really matters. When the founding fathers voiced the importance of a free press, this is exactly what they had in mind - tell the truth and do it unapologetically.
  • PanAmKate
    Rachel Knows…
    Please tell me where all those billions of dollars being paid by American corporations to Trump to have their company’s tariffs lifted — where or to whom is that money going? I need to know!
  • nigey&jack
    Science
    trump does not care if the scientist who saved his life are fired. He thinks he's invincible. He is not capable of empathy or compassion. He hates himself therefore he hates everyone else.
  • Marylee395
    Social Security
    I would really like it if you would say that they are dismantling Social Security instead of saying that Social Security is dismantling put the blame on where it belongs thank
  • 4966loml
    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!
  • MidwestShae
    Despicable Mouthpiece
    Complete trashcan of a person! She should be ashamed of herself getting paid to spread lies and promote fear.

    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!!!
  • Royal 'T'
    News for intellectuals
    Anyone adding a negative review is simply trying to sabotage truth. Very educational show.
  • 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.
  • Lorilor90
    Love Rachel!! Can’t have my news without her.
    Keep fighting the good fight!
  • Nav Saint
    Love her snarky smart takedowns!
    Always thought-provoking
  • DeFL79
    Pro Trump ad???
    I just heard a pro Trump agenda ad on Rachel’s podcast version of her show??? Someone explain please.
  • 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.

    Why????
    Why are you playing ads for Amazon when you know Jeff Bezos is an oligarch?!?!?
  • 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!
  • HansBren
    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
