I learned a TON and was totally entertained at the same time. I’m a huge fan of Steve K. and geek out for politics, but had no knowledge whatsoever about the genesis of today’s brand of politics. Thanks for the education! And I’m telling anyone who will listen to check this out!! I’m anxious...Read full review »

What a great pod cast. Can’t wait to see what Steve does next!

I learnt so much from this podcast: objective and engaging at the same time; shows how Newt overturned the table of American party politics.
Joseph Wentil via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 01/19/24
Well-written and researched podcast that gives all who listen ( & all should listen) a much deeper insight into the past 40 years, when many of us were seldom immersed in daily political happenings. Thank you, Steve, for your hard work & stellar presentation in piecing together the puzzle...Read full review »

Steve Kornacki is as expected, always explains these things with enthusiasm and clarity. Something about his voice and his style, logical and fun. Can’t stop listening!

I love Steve Kornacki, and think what’s here is excellent. But I’m very disappointed that he couldn’t incorporate the failed Clinton health reform effort in this story, and Hillary Clinton’s role in it. It was so over engineered, and the Administration was so inflexible about its provisions, that...Read full review »

I thought I knew the story— I was so wrong. Thank you so much.
Adriana in DC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/23
The only time I’ve ever agreed with Gingrich is when he remarks that this Podcast “was a remarkably useful contribution to history.” Thanks for such an great effort.

Helped me understand events that I lived through, plus their impact on the country today. Intelligently written and well presented.

This felt very balanced to this average voter.
Voter1066 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
This special podcast is so good and smart. I miss Kornacki’s podcast and want more! He is brilliant and he makes concepts accessible and understandable.

I worked in the House of Representatives for most of the time covered in this podcast. It is dead on. I really can’t believe how well it covers the politics, policies and the personalities. This podcast should be required listening for anyone who wants to understand how the Republican Party...Read full review »

Thanks to Steve Kornaki and his team for connecting the dots on the (mysterious to me) rise and (fortunate) fall of Newt Gingrich. I especially admire Kornaki’s admirable interview skills when he finally gets a date with Gingrich and affably lets him reveal his most cringeworthy flaws all by...Read full review »
Kerry-OK via Apple Podcasts · France · 05/15/23
I am a political history, junkie, and found this to be one of the best and most balanced assessments of the Gingrich revolution. Not only did the show discuss the facts, but it took a reason and review of the reasons behind what happened, and the implications thereof. This podcast was...Read full review »
Pete’s App Store stuff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23
I first took an interest in politics during the Bill Clinton era so I remember most of these events pretty clearly. Kornacki does a great job of presenting that era in a clear, unbiased, and informative style. I enjoyed the podcast immensely!
Jason Hoj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/23
He is simply one of the best on politics. He loves it, studies it, and can speak on the history of it. He takes an open mind and learns the story. Then becomes the teacher. He is the best on election night
Kevin OSU via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
By providing the “Republican Revolution” story as a long-term disciplined partisan rhetorical and programmatic struggle, we get some clearer understanding of the Republican siege mentality we live with every day.
Linkin Steff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
Always informative and he has way to say stories in a very simplistic way’
GrmBet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/23
With the same rare combination of detailed information and insightful analysis that we political junkies have learned to expect on MSNBC election coverage, Steve Kornacki demonstrates his mastery of the podcast format. It is enjoyable, and I always learn something from listening.
asr1492 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/23
Kornacki, as always, presents the facts in a non-judgmental way and unfolds the story of the key events that led America to the toxic land of right wing grievance politics. The final interview with Gingrich validates.... Gingrich still is focused on dividing us by espousing hate on his targeted...Read full review »

Fantastic! The best series available. Steve is wonderful.

This podcast will get you up to speed if you haven’t followed politics no matter what party you are aligned with. Definitely has historic value and insight.

One word - Brilliant!
Norman-Now via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/17/23
I will be using this to teach about political parties! Detailed and well researched.
Sm19876 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/23
So good. I listened to all 7 episodes in a weekend. As someone who had just begun to vote around this time, it was fascinating and enlightening to revisit this era, and to learn more about what was going on politically then. Thank you for just laying out the details and the history and allowing...Read full review »

Kornacki is a great storyteller. Who knew that the ‘big board’ is just the tip of his skill iceberg.
Canjaneew via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/10/23
Steve Kornacki and his team make content that is both enlightening and entertaining. It’s nice to hear politics discussed in an informed and impartial manner.
Kbc610 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/23
Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks Steve!
ricky128 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
Speaker Gingrich gave his own assessment of the podcast, stating was direct and not partisan. This podcast is, I feel, an accurate accounting of the shift in GOP policy with Gingrich’s take no prisoners approach. Unfortunately for him, his leadership and dedication was rebuffed by Donald Trump...Read full review »
TomTom Sims via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/23
Because of the association with MSNBC I was expecting this podcast to be slanted in it’s recounting of this period in time. I was wrong. This podcast is extremely well done and told in a factual, fair and balanced manner. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Bob12345! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/23
Kornacki did an excellent job of telling the history of how the Democrats lost their 40 year majority in the House of Representatives and the repercussions that that loss had on politics today. The first five episodes were super interesting and while I did see value in the final two episodes they...Read full review »

Great podcast!

“Revolution” is infused with journalistic integrity, intellectual acuity and depth, and ended appropriately looking with curiosity toward the viewing resolution of the decades long cultural wars. Thank you. I learned much from this excellent podcast.
A Southerner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/23
I found it curious that Gingrich thought your first 5 episodes were excellent but still named you as a part of the media that he criticizes. I thought your podcast was representative of MSNBC reporting as a whole - truth and reality-based. Maybe he should listen to more! You did a great job with...Read full review »

Excellent Steve Kornacki!!! I’m on Episode 7 where Newt decided to participate after hearing the six episodes. This rates right up there with Ultra, the Bagman, etc. My understanding of Newt Gingrich’s role historically and his influence on the evolution of the Republican Party today. I...Read full review »
Linda L Forsyth MT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/23
Although I cannot agree with many of Newt’s observations and criticisms of the Democratic Party and the media, I found the head to head discussion exhilarating and quite thought provoking. I only hope all sides of the political establishment can hear both sides as clearly as the podcast provided,...Read full review »

Steve is so smart and explains everything very well. Love this podcast and look forward to more from him!
Espoboi21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/23
Kornacki is great and sets the bar for serious, well-researched journalism on US politics. Gingrich has important insights no matter your party.

ljostad via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 01/06/23
You have left, I think, an important historical document about an influential US politician. By making an even-handed podcast, you goaded Gingrich's inflated ego into asking for a post-mortem interview; thus, you successfully goaded him into revealing the rationalizations he uses to shore up...Read full review »

Steve is concise and has a good voice to listen to. The subject is complex but Steve presents everything in a clear and understandable manner. Kudos!
nemichman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/23
I love how thorough and balanced this podcast was. My only issue is how Steve didn’t push back when Gingrich tried to frame the left in ludicrous terms
