“History “repeat[ing] itself” !!! Thank you, Rachel (and others), for all you do. Your informing and gentle chiding us of such suppression of history seemingly running rampant. The “doomed to repeat itself” is the result of our “not learning.” This world and its gifts are not for a select few!...”Read full review »

“I’ve praised Ms Maddow up and back, but the disgusting performance from MSNBC and her regarding the total ignoring of right-wing evil, instead wailing about “OLD OLD OLD” means she’s not a journalist, she’s just another sound-biter with no integrity. Maybe she should listen to her own podcast...”Read full review »

“This podcast is so interesting, deciphering what is going on today using a historical approach, showing how history keeps repeating itself and we don’t seem to learn from previous events. I really enjoyed this podcast and sure hope there will be more ! Rachel Maddow is, well she’s Rachel Maddow,...”Read full review »

“I am a huge fan of Rachel Maddow’s narrative approach and love her books and the Agnew podcast series. This one has an overly snarky tone that I just can’t shake and comes across as poor taste. And as with the Ultra series, the relentless music became too distracting. Keeps whipsawing between...”Read full review »

“Excellent show! The parallels of history and present day are - scary. I love/hate seeing, understanding, hearing and knowing the future. We have a collective duty to craft a way out of the present day mess without retracing the past. Thank you for connecting the dots for us.”

“As a former American history and u.s. government teacher the accuracy and relevance of her topics are without equal. She and her partner have captured the real set of events and quickly apply them to some modern counterpoint. They are very entertaining and very accurate. I enjoyed them very much”

“Rachael Maddow is an astounding journalist and educator. I have listened to her weekly shows for several years and felt like I was back in school when I listened to her pod casts (I am 70). I have learned so much about our countries dark history that was never talked about in school. I hope she...”Read full review »

“This series is spectacular!!
Racheal Maddow is the consummate story teller. This series touches on our history in ways many are not familiar with.
The series enlightens us of caveats throughout history we should be aware of, yet we do not know.
I thrust for more.
Excellent Work!!!”
