I’m an ardent fan of Rachel Maddow and happy to hear of her conspicuous prime time return for Trump’s first one hundred days in office. We need her voice. Rachel’s staying power is no accident. She delivers the truth with passion, wit, intelligence and honor. She unveils the darkness of our world without becoming jaded. Star power!

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! This climate crisis is about to teach us a lesson very few of us are equipped to acknowledge or handle. Your words and deeds will ring out down through time. I will encourage me and mine to encourage themselves and theirs to keep hope alive!!!

As always well researched and organized into easy to digest episodes . Dr. Maddow is amazing at presenting historical events and demonstrating their significance by drawing parallels to current events. This is one of my favorite podcasts while working out. Rachel has a very soothing voice. I’ve loved her since her Air America days. She’s really the best part of MSNBC.

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 about fascism. I can’t imagine she’d fare well under it but she can’t seem to figure that out. But hey—ratings amirite.

There’s no one smarter and more honest on TV talking about politics.

I appreciate Maddie integrity and smarts.

Great use of history to inform us in present and future. Brillant.

I love how it connects the past with our current political climate. Very insightful and fun to listen to! I was unaware of how many insidious plots were taking place in our recent history. 😮🤔🤓 Wonderful Podcast!

Really enjoyed this podcast and it just stopped. Is it coming back?

Love this podcast! A fresh perspective on the current news! It helps me understand what is happening in the news and in current events! Love this type of podcast.

But leave out the music, please!

Informative and dark but somehow really fun to listen to.

Rachel, you are always amazing! Thank you

Loved Bag Man and this one didn’t let me down! Looking forward to your next project. This one was a must listen!❤️

They show the mirror activities from what was tried and done in the past to explain why it’s being done again.

Very well done. Fascinating stories and dive into some little known historical events.

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 plinky Scooby Doo whodunnit and overly dramatic Unsolved Mysteries moods—just stop.

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

This was fantastic! Very engaging. My new favorite podcast.

This podcast was excellent and insightful!

Everything old is new again. We can learn if we want to do do.

Great timely reporting. Loved how they are putting current events in context. Thanks!

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” and this show has you learning. Even as a history buff I learned things I was totally unaware of. Thank you. Looking forward to the next episode.

I feel like I’m fuzzy on some US and world history. It’s embarrassing but true. Rachel is brilliant and ties current events to past events. This is my favorite podcast. Give it a try and you’ll be hooked.

Great series, great stories, and important insights on current events

I have been craving a way to put current events into historical context to better understand the potential impact these events have. Smart insights, witty tête-à-tête, entertaining guests and more.

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 continues this outstanding work along with her outstanding staff. Thank you Ron Flood

amazing historical context and storytelling ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ can’t wait for season 2

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!!!

I binged all the episodes in one day — once I started, I couldn’t stop! Such astonishing and infuriating stories…the one about the Reverse Freedom Riders broke my heart, but I’m glad to be aware that it actually happened.

Conservative governors wouldn’t have had migrants to bus to liberal cities if the Biden administration had been doing their job in securing our country’s borders. We now have over 7 million people in our country who are unvetted and unaccounted for. We have let in human traffickers, drug cartels, criminals and possibly terrorists. Governor DeSantis received so much condemnation for sending 48 immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, a place that had a sign basically saying “All are welcome here” But the truth was that these people were not welcome, and the wealthy residents of Martha’s Vineyard had them shipped out within 48 hours. Now if a town of really rich people can’t afford to take in 48 of these migrants, then how in the world do you think these poor border towns are able to handle the thousands of people coming into their towns?! The hypocrisy is astounding, and that is what was exposed by DeSantis sending a comparatively small group of people to a “sanctuary city”

I looked forward to this podcast in a way I have never looked forward to a podcast before. I hope there will be many more episodes in the future. This sort of analysis is desperately needed these days. Bravo!

Excellent listening!

Thank you Rachel & Team for a brilliant podcast. “When will we ever learn”

Listening to history is fun and enlightening

I tried to listen and it is at “Chipmunk” speed.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the six episodes. Maybe there is hope for this country.

FANTASTIC!!! Very eye opening as to what is going on in today’s America. I appreciate the work of Rachel & her team!!!

It’s so refreshing to hear information that truly makes you think about how far we have and have not come in not only this great nation of ours, but also our world. I love hearing information that makes me want to learn & know more. Honestly, I feel like this could be a fantastic course to teach in schools across the country.

more Deja News! Or at least another podcast soon. Thank you! I love all your podcasts

An absolutely great podcast. I really enjoy history applied to current news. Rachel is the best.

Rachel’s work is incredible and I inhale all the works she has created and co-created. Her topics are great and always leave me wanting more. Thank you for your in depth look at history. It provides this Baby Boomer with some solace to realize we have been here before and have held onto our democracy despite the presence of nefarious behaviors.

Best Podcast I have ever followed! Hate to see it end!

There’s so much more to unearth, future episodes are bound to come.

The most shocking thing was how quickly that 6 episodes went! Thank you this was really helpful. Hopefully we have learned something from our history

Excellent podcast.

I absolutely love this podcast, tying in past history to current events. We have a dearth of knowledge of our history in this country, and mostly that is because of forces that don’t want us to know our own history, and want to be able to repeat things that happened in the past against the masses. I have enjoyed learning about the parallels in history to things that are happening in today’s current events, and I certainly hope that Rachel will pick up for another season of De Ja News at some point in the near future.

I wonder whether the show hosts thought about those hearing impaired or challenged baby-boomers when they chose to have the background music compete with the narration? It is a shame to be so distracted from what is important by music, albeit exciting and dramatic. It prevented me from listening fully, which I regret since the stories are compelling and smart.

With the crazy, nonsensical politics nowadays, it’s comforting to learn this isn’t new, and lessons must be learned to avoid such chaos. Rachel and her team, put it all together, piece by piece. No one lays it out better.

Started watching Rachael when the Pandemic started. Where have you been all my life I love your show. Keep up the good work Rachael.
