WOW! I just discovered Rachel Maddow's podcast: ULTRA. It is FANTASTIC!

As always she and her team do incredible research. I had no idea how this whole Christian maga crap is just an extension of the nazi influence into American politics from 1940’s. It’s a little more than a half hr but oh so worth the listen.

Will go listen to it again too bc I am not an audio learner and feel I missed a few things.

When she described what they wanted to do to jews in LA absolutely horrified me. Made me think of all the antisemitic stuff of late.

Content sounds very interesting, but I'd like to "digest" it in written form if possible. Thx.

specifically, Rachel's podcast? When I go to the site you provided, I hit the play button, but
there's no picture, just the clock ticking away.

What device do you have?
Apple devices have a built in app simply called Podcasts
For Android phones you can look for Google Podcasts in the Google Play Store. You can also listen to podcasts at the website: https://podcasts.google.com/
then search for Ultra and you can listen to the episodes.
The website for Ultra is
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra
Below the title you'll see links to other podcast apps like Spotify, TuneIn or iHeart.

Ultra is great. It scares the crap out of me.

If you're new to podcasts, you're in for a treat. I recommend RadioLab, The Moth, Snap Judgement, New Yorker Radio Hour, CounterSpin, there are a ton to choose from. Have fun!

Found on Monday and binge listened to all back to back. Can't wait for the next one, and very sad that it's the last in this series.
