Rachel Maddow is one of the most trusted and insightful voices in the often chaotic multiverse of 24/7 cable news. And she’s a vital source of information in navigating an even more chaotic election year.
“The working motto at my office is that we try to ‘increase the amount of useful information in the world,’” Maddow explains. “I do a show Monday nights on MSNBC and anchor MSNBC’s coverage of major events, like election nights. Plus, I make podcasts and documentaries and have written some books. I’m working now on some scripted TV shows and movies as well.”
Despite her multimedia presence, Maddow notes that season 2 of her podcast Ultra was a real labor of love. “It was really hard to do, but I’m proud of how it came out. I think it might be the best thing I’ve done,” she says.
While Maddow’s presence and voice feel even more significant this election year, viewers have come to rely on her to make sense of the world — particularly during the toughest of times. @maddowshow
