    Excellent Show
    I love Alex Wagner! I watched her on The Circus religiously and even before then. So congratulations on this incredible project. When one door closes another opens.

    Sadly, Trumpland
    I’m sure it was tough for most of us to lose Rachel from Tuesday to Friday, but Alex Wagner came & gave me and all of us reassurance that the message is the same and a clarion voice calls it out clearly! This new version will have to do until the network is willing to accept the truth & serve a higher good than the profit chase!

    Excellent, Informative Podcast!
    Alexis a gifted interviewer. She finds people to speak about what they are feeling and experiencing in the angst that is the hallmark of the Trump administration. Love this podcast!

    Great job
    Great on the ground journalism. I miss the nightly show but this is great journalism.
  • Limner11
    Even if You Think You Know the Story
    Alex Wagner goes further and gets those tender parts that make the story real and pertinent—and complex. So many podcasts, so little time, but this one is well worth yours.

    False advertising
    Subscribers pay for a commercial free podcast. Filling the time slot for commercials for MSNBC podcasts is not commercial free. Do better, MSNBC

    This show brings to light the shortcomings and sheer stupidity of the Trump administration. He cares about nothing but himself and corporate Interests. Great podcast Alex! Keep up the good work!

    Alex is so good at exemplifying listening skills I am trying to learn. Thanks for always reporting with integrity and great questions. I have listened twice to the story and interviews about the chemical-polluted community. Please keep us informed!

    Chilling
    Listening to the episode on Trump’s dismantling of the EPA. Such a strong episode. I don’t know what to do with my fury. But I so appreciate Alex exploring this issue of health disparities.
  • Astormflocetc
    Alex is Captivating
    Not only is Alex Wagner extremely likable and relatable, she’s talented. Her work is what’s needed in this chaotic world; solid reporting and revelations of truth amongst so much deception. Thank you Alex!
  • photogmomma
    Excellent!
    Well researched, very interesting information. Very clear and understandable. And in some cases, heartbreaking. Thank you for turning the background music down a bit – that made a huge difference in the Listenability.
  • Babble5blue
    Insightful
    Alex Wagner‘s calm and insightful tone continues to enlighten me on parts of society that I have little access to. I hope she is able to continue to travel America enlightening us on the social struggles caused or made worse by the Trump administration. Keep up the good work!
  • Tj4man11
    Thorough reporting
    Missing you on MSNBC so I’ll be listening here regularly. Thanks for your thorough and detailed reporting asking confrontational and hard-hitting questions as required. We need more reporting like this now more than ever. And to all you trolls/Russian bots, i like when she speaks quickly, weak flex.
  • D .K.
    Amazing
    Thank you Alex Wagner and MSNBC for your eyes wide open approach and bravery in bringing us this news. I think the majority of people know that Trump and his minions are destroying our country but with this news hour we are detailed insight to specific instances of how deeply horrific Trump’s policies are.
  • Tutor mama
    Doesn’t tell the whole story
    Just listened to Alex Wagner on Nicole Wallace tell us the oh so sad story of St. James Louisiana and how the Trump administration dropped the lawsuit against Dupont who is accused of polluting the air. Well guess what? The voters in that parish voted for Trump!! She never mentioned that. So maybe add that fact to your journalism. So the voters whose ancestors suffered from slavery voted for Trump.

    Fantastic
    Wagner does a fantastic job as a podcaster. I am a fan. Loved her on circus and MSNBC She’ll be missed on MSNBC.
  • Frandal
    Engaging
    Excellent and fearless reporting. Thank you for this important storytelling and bringing us diverse voices and American voices.
  • HakelaG
    Tried to listen but background music too high
    The background music volume is too close to the speaking voices. Makes it hard to listen to. It’s not necessary. The part I listened to was interesting but trying to parse out the words from the background noise. gave me a headache. I can’t support the use of music to create drama at the expense of listening ease. If the topic is interesting you don’t need the music. I came to podcasts to get away from this cable documentary practice.

    Trumpland - Great new Podcast Series
    Alex, Congratulations with your new Podcast “Trumpland”. Very important to hear what is happening on the ground. You will get your chance at prime-time show later. You add mote value in your current role. I routinely listen to Rachel (historical perspective), Lawrence O’Donnel (inner workings of Congress with legal support from Andrew Weissman), Fareed (International focus), and now also to you (local people focus) to get a more complete picture. On sidenote, I think Trump Administration has 4 strategic weaknesses which can be exploited including 1) Tesla - A disgrace at any speed; People should think twice about buying a Tesla for fear of being shamed, 2) Relationship between Trump and Musk; King Musk and his puppet Trump, 3) Citizen protest and outrage about the utterly inhumane and cruel actions by the Administration (action=reaction), and 4) The price of eggs, which highlight and remind the people on a daily basis of the complete ineptitude of this administration. Bringing chickens home during birdflu outbreak. Really?? Firing scientists working on containing birdflu outbreak, increasing scarcity and prices. I will recommend your show to my family and friends.

    Each episode has been very informative. I really enjoy how Alex presents each topic. Clear, direct and logical. I listen to a lot of political and world news podcasts. This is one of the best.

    Insightful Podcast!
    I really find Alex Wagner’s coverage from the field very insightful. Good to hear from non-“experts”/talking heads. Great format and unique way to share points of views. I hope her podcast continues beyond the first 100 days!
  • Nav Saint

    10 Stars!!
    I just discovered Alex Wagner this year and now I’m hooked. Her reporting is A-Class and I feel like I’m on a journey around America. Girl, we know you’re tired but grind baby grind! Thank you. You speak for me as an American 🇺🇸
  • pinacoloda
    Love it!
    Thank you, Alex - love the show and you are help keeping me sane through these crazy surreal times!!
  • FLBkgal
    Alex at her best!
    I’ve always enjoyed Alex’s reporting over the years and these podcasts are some of her best. Plus, they’re desperately needed right now. Brava, Alex! Keep up the excellent work. And thanks to your outstanding crew too.
  • Casey MDL
    I want more!
    Once a week is not enough. Such great reporting and interesting perspectives.
  • Centrist Gigi
    Fantastic reporting!
    Ms. Wagner is an excellent reporter! She really works to get all sides of the issue. At first I was annoyed that she talked to Jan 6th rioters family members on their pending release. But it provided me a next level understanding of what happened. I appreciate her honesty, respect her integrity and insight.
  • the original mikejustmike
    Glad to see her reporting
    Alex Wagner has been an amazing replacement for Rachel Maddow, but I’m glad she is moving around and digging in to the surreal mess we’re going through. I wish the audio only podcast would supplement the people speaking with a simultaneous verbal translation like bbc or NPR does. Then I could hear words, not just emotion when a non-English speaker talks.

    The Truth Matters
    Love your excellent reporting, keep it coming!

    Pathological Lier
    MSNBC anchor, that should tell you all you need to know. I wouldn’t waist one minute listening to the lies and propaganda spread by this anchor on a failing news channel.
