You see... I pretty much only listened to my shriekingcarnage fandom playlist this year on this app and listened to more music on YouTube.

This year Spotify was for podcasts.

It's time for another random "I love Rachel Maddow" post... because I do.

I love her so much. Not just for her politics, but she reminds me off my friends. I feel like I could totally hang out with her. I really feel like I would get along great with her. So yeah, while my normal subjects for swooning are the men of the MCU an extra special place goes to Rachel Maddow. Also as a straight female, wouldn't even really consider myself bi, I would date her in a heartbeat. For her I would try it.

Also if you haven't been listening to her new podcast, Ultra, go now. If you want a hint of what it's about, let's just say it's a wonder we ended up on the Allies side of WW2.

"Nazi Town, USA" is a 2024 feature in PBS's American Experience series. It looks into the surprising degree of influence which Nazis had in the United States in the 1930s. There were even Nazi summer camps for kids.

It can be viewed (probably for a limited amount of time) at the series link above. Here's a preview...

To explore the topic more deeply, check out Rachel Maddow's excellent 8-episode podcast Ultra.

Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra | an MSNBC original podcast

Ultra has somewhat more emphasis on Nazi attempts to penetrate government.

Those espousing Nazi-friendly views in the 1930s did not disappear when the US entered World War II and fascism became very unfashionable. Those half-hidden feelings hibernated and occasionally emerged from time to time to poison discourse and endanger democracy. There are obvious echos of that movement today.

listening to the podcast Ultra with Rachel Maddow, about a group of ultra right wing American fascists who attempted a violent takeover of the US government, supported by equally fascist members of Congress and covered up by the president, aided directly by a foreign government...in the 1940s.

I don't think it's a surprise by now that Nazis were infiltrating the US in the 30s and 40s and that Americans were not (or not all) the valiant opponents of fascism and anti-Semitism we want them to be. you have to imagine history as complexly as you perceive the present climate to be. how else could we be in this moment?

but hearing this particular, forgotten, story laid out like this makes this probably the most important podcast I've listened to this year. highly recommend.

Just a few decades ago, 28 members of Congress were convicted for conspiring to form a Nazi government in the United States. This, after a single staffer was imprisoned for lying to Congress. He then spilled the beans and the house of cards collapsed.

I try to look at both sides of arguments so it is interesting to see how leftists think. Here Michael Steele speaks with Rachel Maddow about her new book, "Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism." The pair discuss how they think modern-day efforts to undermine democracy have a prequel dating back to before and during World War II when an ultra-right authoritarian movement tried to steer our nation toward an alliance with the Nazis. Rachel describes how members of congress got involved in spreading Nazi propaganda, how Henry Ford spread anti-semitism throughout the U.S and Germany and the figures who made sure we saved ourselves from ourselves. It seems that these two are not seeing that it is the political left today that is much more authoritarian and like NAZIs than the modern right and Trump suporters. To me it seems Biden and his gang are much more anti freedom and a greater danger to American freedom than the modern right and even MAGA Trump supporters. The anology they are trying to make seems to be not only wrong, but opposite of the truth. American Leftism today is much more supportive of racism and tribalism and authoritarianism and more fascist, than the modern conservative right. This whole video seems to be just leftist propaganda. But in the name of freedom of speech it is worth hearing their nutcase conspiracy theories even though they are saying the opposite of the truth. They are ignoring all the leftist election fraud and the truth of what happened on January 6. This video has a very biased liftest point of view. It is not isolationalism to not want to support the actual fastists in Ukraine and Israel. Non interventionism was the advice of America's founding fathers. Russia and the Palestians are not the danger it is Ukraine and israel that are selling the lies to the American people, not Russia or Palestine. It is the the Leftists telling us they are strong enough and speek of the MAGA people are the danger. It is the Left that wants to end your status as a citizen. The dangers Maddow presents come more from the left than from the right. MS MBC seems like just a propaganda arm of the Democrat party.

Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment Developing Feature Based On Podcast ‘Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra’; Tony Kushner And Danny Strong In Talks To Adapt

By Justin Kroll December 14, 2022

EXCLUSIVE: After drawing interest from several high-profile buyers, Rachel Maddow is partnering with one of the biggest players in town on a feature adaptation of her podcast Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra.

Sources tell Deadline that Amblin Entertainment has optioned film rights to the podcastfrom MSNBC and Maddow’s production company Surprise Inside.

Steven Spielberg and Kristie Macosko Krieger would produce the film for Amblin, along with Maddow and Mike Yarvitz on behalf of Surprise Inside.

As of right now Spielberg will just produce the film, with the director job open, but insiders add that his longtime collaborator Tony Kushner, (who will also executive produce) and Danny Strong are in talks to co-write.

Ultra, a production of MSNBC and NBC News, is an eight-episode podcast series that examines the history of a seditious plot to undermine U.S. democracy 80 years ago, and the wild fight in and out of the courtroom to try to stop it. The series was executive produced by Maddow and former The Rachel Maddow Show producer Mike Yarvitz, and produced by Maddow producer Kelsey Desiderio. This is the second original podcast from Maddow and Yarvit, following their hit series Bag Man, which earned the duPont-Columbia Award. It debuted at No. 1 on Apple Podcasts in October and stayed there for four straight weeks—it has remained in the Top 10 since.

Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra is one of many projects in Maddow’s expanding portfolio across NBCUniversal platforms. Since signing her new overall deal at MSNBC, where she went from hosting The Rachel Maddow Show five days a week to just once a week on Mondays, Maddow has begun zeroing in on the different areas she could focus on in this new stage of her career. Along with her agency WME, who signed her in August 2021, Maddow began looking at items across platforms that could be used as source material for future projects including books, podcasts, articles and scripts. Sources close to Maddow say that while she has been busy on that front, it was never about volume to add to her development slate but rather finding high-quality material to produce.
