Early access + ad-free listening

As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force. Join Rachel Maddow for Episode One, launching June 10, 2024, and follow now. You can also subscribe to MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts for early access to every episode the Friday before it drops, and ad-free listening to all episodes in Ultra seasons one and two.

I learned so much listening to this podcast! The U.S. Government has long been infiltrated by these traitors and perpetrators of treason, peddlers of hate and white supremacy. We have and continue to be at risk. History is repeating itself and so many of us simply do not know how relevant this time really is!! Thank you for these stories, I will share and never forget.
I’m totally shocked

I really appreciate this podcast and at the same time I’m shocked that this happened once and it’s happening again. We haven’t learned anything and we seem to be doing the same thing again. This story is really laying out the game plan that is being played right now. Why don’t we have a way to stop this from happening again? We’re playing into their hands again.
A clear Pulitzer candidate

Every American — every high school history classroom — needs to hear and discuss this podcast series, and its predecessor, Ultra season 1. These two podcasts help us understand the history of hate that is deeply embedded in the GOP, and the devastation from its incorporation of the Dixicrats by Nixon. Far from being the “patriots” the proclaimed, it should not be surprising that they enthusiastically embraced the treason of fascism, antisemitism and racial prejudice. Rachel Maddow’s careful delivery makes these two podcasts exceptionally compelling and comprehensible. She richly deserves a Pulitzer.
Love the content, enough w the pizzicato

Season 1 was amazing - eye opening, well written, well narrated, great research and super interesting topic. Season 2 is also fascinating but, the pizzicato violin is making me nuts. I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone or the Shining once it catches my ear. Super distracting, please vary the music, or stop it altogether at times. It’s not really part of the story and sounds like AI. In any case, still worth the time. Lots to learn.
