Yeah, the word dominated there has just been redefined in an interesting way, too. I mean, I know you’ve dominated nightly cable news for roughly 15 years.īut congratulations, I mean, podcasts are a whole different league. I feel like I’m in a universe that is completely pulling me over. I feel like I’m learning something for the first time, even though I’ve done this kind of thing before. And the thing that I’m crashing on right now is this podcast that I’ve been working on for a few months. You were the very first guest on this show in its original version back in - I just looked at this - February of 2016. rachel maddowĮzra, it’s great to see you, my friend. I wanted to get a sense of why she’s become so interested now in what the past can tell us about the present and particularly about the future.Īs always, my email for guest suggestions, for thoughts on the episode, for things we should read, or watch, or hear, or just not miss, Maddow, welcome to the show. She signed up to do a lot of other kinds of content, including a new podcast about a really remarkable moment in our history, called “Ultra,” that we talk about here. And so I want to talk to her about the ways that American politics and media changed over that time, what she saw, and why she thinks it happened.Īnd now as she steps back - she’s taken her show to once a week. And she is, that whole time, a pretty serious observer and even, at times, shaper of it. MSNBC’s whole lineup was reoriented to work around her style, to try to learn her lessons.Īnd let me risk understatement by saying a hell of a lot happens over the course of that 14 years that Rachel Maddow is in that chair. Her show really defined an era of liberal cable news. American politics is on the cusp of reorganization. Lehman Brothers is days away from collapsing. Bush era, the era of politicians constantly wearing and fighting over flag pins on their lapels.īy the time Maddow’s show hits the air, though, Barack Obama is weeks away from winning the presidency. Before that, you have the 9/11 era, the George W. You read that date now and it’s clear what a hinge moment that was between political eras. Rachel Maddow’s nightly show on MSNBC debuted on September 8, 2008.
Transcript What Rachel Maddow Has Been Thinking About Offscreen The MSNBC anchor discusses the radicalization of Fox News, the past 14 years in wild news cycles and the G.O.P.’s hard-right turn.
