I lived through it; but didn’t know this then. Thanks for taking me to school. Is this going to be turned into a film ? I hope so.

Good stuff, but over-produced. The information presented here is very valuable for American citizens to know but the delivery gets dragged out. We could get the same amount of information in a shorter timeframe with less repetition. We all have only so much time in the day to devote to these...Read full review »

Why wasn’t any of this in my school history curriculum? Fascinating!!

History has it that Republicans loves supremacy, racism and has no moral compass. What’s a bit different is that during their time, there were honest lawyers upholding their oaths. Nowadays, lawyers will subvert law for money and fame. “Principle, Integrity and Credibility” almost died!...Read full review »

I have learned so much between Ultra and this one! My goodness, Rachel is one of the best journalists of this generation and possibly past ones. I look forward to learning more about our govt and how we may repeat it if we r not careful. Love her

To call Maddow a nattering nabob of negativism would be the highest of compliments.

I never studied this time period in high school or college and as an Elementary Ed teacher we always got to WWII but never beyond… such important history! As an adult I’ve loved learning, reading, and listening to history. This podcast along with Déjà News and Ultra are so well done. This was...Read full review »

This podcast would be a great enhancement when necessary civics class are returned to public school curriculums in American schools. In the meantime, I highly recommend this series to homeschooling parents who teach government and civic engagement to their adolescent children.

I just started listening to this podcast and I love it!!!

This deserves a Pulitzer. What a great investigation & presentation.
skytreelake via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/23
The content is amazing, and having listened to Ultra already, it appears the team has learned their lessons, but the repetition borders on padding for time, the music is like the Bowfinger theme and rings entirely inappropriate for the weight of what’s at stake, and the ads drop in without...Read full review »

Rachel Maddow’s theme of historical analysis and comparative news is incredible. Taking a look into the past to help understand our present has boded well for her and for us as a people. Between this show, Ultra, and Déjà News- Rachel empowers us to have a perspective of events unfolding in our...Read full review »

Keep up the good work. This for me is like a great history lesson are country would be great if are history was taught in school but until we learn are past we can’t have a great future. As we know man’s thirst for power is the downside of us ever making progress. PS keep up the good work.

Rachel is fabulous. Always factual and well researched. Love her show and all of her podcasts. Always historical and worthy of our remembrance. History repeats itself and Rachel is awesome at making those connections. Will keep Listening to all of her material

Rachel seems to only make claims she can immediately back-up with copious recordings, news articles, and historical account from WITNESSES. I’ve always been a Maddow-follower, but in the day and age of ultimate fact-denial, it’s refreshing to know there are people still looking-out!

One of the best journalists of our generation!! My mind is continually blown away at her wisdom and endless curiosity! I’ve learned so much about recent political history from her tireless work & commitment! Thank you So Much Rachael! Keep marching and sharing your stories! We will follow 😍

Now we see where Donny got his playbook Amazing journalism here

Are the 1st words that came to mind as started the review. Maddow has proven herself to be one of the finest journalists of my generation many times over. Her innate ability to uncover incredible stories seemingly lost to history is truly phenomenal. What demonstrates her brilliance, in contrast...Read full review »

Rachel, thank you so much for the work that you do so well!
HP651 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
Masterful job. But I have a question that I don’t think was addressed: did Agnew know why they offered him a deal? Did he know Richardson was motivated solely by the strong likelihood Nixon would be removed from office and he wanted to make certain he wouldn’t be succeeded by another crook and...Read full review »

Loved Bagman and everything you do. I watched you every night on MSNBC then every Monday—you are a force. I’m going to make me a Rachel Maddow sweatshirt.
steve vanwagoner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/23
not fair - I could not stop listening to her podcast as it was so fascinating - Such a great history student and story teller.
Linda Mazer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
Listening to the actual voices of all the protagonists, hearing - and feeling - the intensity still resonating in the hearts and minds of that ‘bold band of young attorneys’ is great radio and fine history. I was aware of Agnes’s disgrace, but not of the depth of machinations powered up to deny...Read full review »

These podcasts from RM are amazing.

Excellent recount of an historic event. I grew up in Baltimore and didn’t know all the details. It’s so disappointing that there are so many crooked politicians in this country.
BirdGMom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
Hello Rachel! I can’t express how delighted I felt listening to a very consequential dive our history that little is known about. You are blessing to this country. Thank you!

This podcast is excellent and gripping. It is also well produced and brings to light history that is not well known but is helpful In determining todays complex political environment.

Show me another podcast that has uncovered heretofore unknown-to-history felony crimes by TWO former [Republican] presidents/to-be.

Listen and learn.

Well done!

Spiritual Agnew’s crimes are almost forgotten in the wake of Watergate. This reminds us of why it is helpful to remember our past.
Nyota Uhura 65 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/23
That night before Agnew’s resignation as the prosecutors were putting the statement of crimes together, someone was typing. Making carbon copies. Typing and typing, making changes, staying up all night too. I wonder who did that work.
GraceOM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/23
Just like Ultra, the comparison to present day Republican Party shenanigans is shocking but what is truly jaw dropping is the involvement of a later US president still held in high regard. RM is a great presenter and her team are amazing storytellers

Agnew was way worse than just a tax cheat.
Faithful Chickie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/22
In lots of ways Nixon-Agnew paved the way to today.

You’re the best Rachel
Bo5569 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/22
Loved both seasons! I’m a bit of a history buff. I was a teenager when this was happening with Agnew so of course I wasn’t paying much attention to politics. Please do another season!
Poodle 17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/22
When trump said, that he could shoot someone and get away with it, everyone acts like, oh he is just just being melodramatic. What if a sitting President did commit murder, would we do nothing about it? If we would prosecute murder, then we should indict for other crimes as well.

Rachel can do better. This is horrible
Traceybeth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/22
After listening to Ultra I went back and listed to Bagman and, even though I came of age during the 70’s, much of the details you uncovered once again were brand new. The future President involved in obstruction of justice, the current President threatening the VP! Wow! Just wow! Thank you for...Read full review »

I love Rachel and really would like her to run for a senate seat in Washington, DC. With someone like her in the senate would change things for the better. The American people need someone like her there. I can hope. I listen to her podcast while driving and it’s better than riding with a real...Read full review »

There will be some who will never hear this story, nor read about it, and never learn how deeply critical the justice system is needed in times of great national threat.

A wonderful in-depth true story about the history of a corrupt Republican VP..Agnew Rachel nails it…. the similarities with today’s Republican Party are uncanny and terrifying History keeps repeating 6/5 Rachel… I loved it… well done

The more ignorant I realize that I am. Just got done listening to Ultra, which was amazing. Come over here to listen to Bag Man and you know what? I was a child in the 1960s. No reason on earth why I did not have the general outlines of this as my parents were enthusiastic supporters of Nixon. I...Read full review »

Rachel rocks! I’m not fond of listening to audio books but I’m very fond of alternative pop music from around the world. I listen to music constantly while working in our garage on projects. However, with that said I watch MSNBC at and especially when something is happening politically. So,...Read full review »
