The Rachel Maddow Show:

6PM-8PM Eastern (as of 9/18/06), in most Air America markets

The Rachel Maddow Show is a funny, fast-paced, news-based show often described as “the headlines, and the politics behind the headlines”.

Regular features include:

- Top headlines from the worlds of politics, current events, sports, science, health, crime, and the absurd

- Hollywood, pop, sports, and human interest news with Emmy-winning comedy writer Kent Jones

- Interviews with newsmakers like Al Gore, Robert Redford, Edie Falco, John Kerry, Pat Buchanan, Jane Fonda, Seymour Hersh, Tucker Carlson, Roseanne Cash, Lili Taylor, Ben Harper, and Michael Isikoff

- “Ask Doctor Maddow” listener call-in segment

- The acclaimed “Underbelly” feature, in which Rachel identifies a political tactic at work in the day’s news

- Dedicated coverage of the Iraq war every day

TRMS offers news junkies, wide-awake citizens with a desperate need to know, and liberal stalwarts an edgy hour of hot-off-the-presses headlines and subterranean-buried ledes. It’s a personalized, politicized, exorcized version of the mainstream media’s excuse for news.

Rachel is a regular commentator for MSNBC, and has also appeared on CNN, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” on LOGO, and other television outlets. She’s been profiled in the New York Times, praised by Liz Smith in her gossip column, reviewed (a rave) in New York Magazine, and given the full-page celebrity photo treatment in Magazines like OUT and The New Statesman.

For your daily recommended allowance of news, sports, and lefty politics, this is your one-stop shop. Stream and download the show all day every day. The current show will be posted weekdays by 10 PM Eastern.
