Fascinating history, hampered by silly production
Rachel Maddow consistently uncovers important and not well known history, and is to be lauded for that. The stories in this series certainly fit that description and I learned a lot by listening to the series. But, unfortunately, this podcast series is so poorly produced, it makes it almost unlistenable. There are a lot of techniques copied from her television show, and TV “news programming” in general, including repeating items multiple times to lengthen a show. The total running time of this entire series could probably have been cut by 75% and still told the story in just as much depth. Most annoying to me is the background music that runs continuously in the episodes, which sounds like it’s lifted from a circus carousel, or a kids cartoon. I’d love if she’d continue bringing us important history like this, and like the excellent podcast she did earlier about Spiro Agnew, but produce the shows less “slickly“ and with a little more seriousness. Overall, good stories though!

More reviews of Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra
Can’t wait it’s going to be huge and expose the iverthrowers of American democracy. If you’ve watched her on MSNBC and listened to the podcast etc… you’re in for an epic telling with facts to back up her assertions. This hopefully brings traitors out of hiding and exposes them for all to see.

I have relied on the investigative research I’ve enjoyed from Rachel Maddow.

I’m looking forward to this podcast . I’m giving this a 5 star but I know it will be a 10 star.
